      There is a difference between Normal Salt and Sea Salt. There is something it is time for you to know. I have Bad News for you. There is a lot more water in American Toilets than in UK Toilets. There is a reason for the amount of water in UK Toilets. When you do a Pee or a jobby then flush the Toilet. You get micro spray which contains the urine or jobby. Because of the amount of water in American Toilets, you get covered in that contaminated micro spray.

    I have a few ideas for you to use up some of the leftover crisps. They're nice added to a sandwich, crush some up and sprinkle on top of Macaroni cheese or Lasagne for an added crunch, if you ground them up really fine they're good for adding to a soup, (Especially if you run out of herbs.) I've even broken some up and added them to a salad.😁

    So glad you Like Lancashire Crisps Steve and Lindsay, I wrote the following comment in a previous unboxing video 2 days ago.
    Fiddlers Crisps are a family firm that are not too far from me. They grow the potatoes and the crisps are actually made on site. As a teenager (all be it some decades ago) I used to pick potatoes for another farmer a few miles away from this farm. They also do a cheese flavour, salt and vinegar and plain crisps too. Enjoy!
    I'm sure the family would be pleased to know that you enjoy their crisps. We also grow a particular variety of New Potato in this area at this time of the year (although not good for crisps though) but is absolutely delicious and has a creamy taste, boiled and served hot with a splash of butter they are divine.

Sadly not long after it was shown Dave Myers, one of The Hairy Bikers died after battling with cancer. West Lancashire is close to the coast, has good soil and grows a lot of root veg, crops such as wheat, barley, rape seed for oil, salad produce, mushrooms and more. I think Rosebuds Bakery is also on the same site and it sells pies, cakes, breads etc all handmade and tasty. As it's a drive away for me now I go every now and then as a treat.

    The 'Lancashire' brand crisps, are actually 'Fiddler's Lancashire' crisps. I only really know this because grew up literally around the corner from the Fiddlers Farm. John (who cooked the crisps) was a childhood friend of mine. I went to school with him and a few of his brothers and sisters. Their farm, has a farm shop, where you can go to get a whole variety UK farm shop treats. and you can of course get the crisps from the source. One of the sisters cooks home made cakes and pies. It is all delicious. I am glad to see these local crisps have made it all the way out to the US. :)

    The bags are injected with nitrogen before sealing. If air was used the oxygen would turn the crisps stale in no time, so nitrogen is used. As a major constituent of air (78%) nitrogen is harmless.

      Not when I had a walk around Walker's - air inside.
      The bags were filled on something like 6-up "pedestals" - 6 bags being filled at any one time on each packing station. The crisps came up the centre column, were weighed and directed to particular bags.
      The death to crisps is moisture, not oxygen, and is why the vast majority of crisp bags are metalised (aluminised).
      I also worked in the food packaging industry - making polypropylene films for about every packaging use you could imagine, plus a few..
      No plastic is a significant barrier to water vapour, despite what the majority of Joe Public think. As a half way measure, some are coated with polyvinylidene chloride, but it is rubbish compared to a very few microns of aluminium.

    So there was for the most part, just an ever expanding range of flavours with the few companies here, Walker's, Golden Wonder, and their storebrand clones.
    Then maybe around the 1990s and 2000s the market started to expand. The same companies then started to make upmarket or special occasion ranges.
    Imagine Lay's, and then a sub range called.....Lay's Luxuries. Something like that. That chicken and thyme was one of the first flavours, I think the range was called Sensations.
    About the same time, changes in attitudes to health, undercover exposé documentaries about what really goes in food, and a kinda..... mild cultural protest against big impersonal corporations (especially after the global financial crash) we then start to see the small handmade crisp companies, often getting sold in pubs and bars. 2000s also saw boom in the low fat, or "diet" crisp ranges.
    Since maybe 2010, the supermarkets, which up until this point sold the big name brands, plus their own cheap imitations, started to revive their own brand by bringing out their own range of upmarket, or unique flavours, or including crisps made of carrot or beetroot, or using far more visually and tongueily noticeable "real" ingredients as opposed to the identical looking crisps that just had the flavour powder cooked in.
    As for chicken powder, I guess it's like powdered milk, but with a chicken instead? Not heard that term before😂

    Generally with crisps you want to tip the bags over a ferw times or take them from part way down the bag. All the flavour shakes off and settles at the bottom, so the crisps at the top taste like just potato and the ones at the bottom are super strong 😄 So tipping the bag/shaking it a lot or going from part way down the bag ensures you get a good flavour on your crisps. My fav are the big bag Tyrells crisps, they do some nice flavours like sweet chilli. Yum yum

    He bought some elsewhere.
    Years later, Tyrell's is HUGE in the UK and he sells up to a VC company who promptly stop buying his potatoes.
    So,... He now makes vodka from his crop!
