You should try some Walkers Sensations. My fave is Chicken and Thyme.
Pickled onion suggestion. Purchase some small onions, peel them and put them in a jar of malt vinegar for a month or more.. That's what Pickled onions are.
In the UK we no doubt have a particular selection of onion strains that are used for this. I think any small strong tasting onions will work well enough.
Wheat Crunchies are my all time Faves.. All the flavours are nice but Spicy Tomato are number 1.
You should get an actual jar of pickled onions if you haven’t tried them🙂
You guys need to try pickled silverskin onions with mature cheddar, Christmas/buffet classic
That also sounds really good.
@@TheMagicGeekdom it's normally served on cocktail sticks, 1 pickled onion and 1 chunk if cheese, along with pineapple and cheese sticks.
In fact , we do a hedgehog looking thing that incorporates it all, I'll have to send you a picture.
Peace and love from the UK 🇬🇧
Jeremy will be pleased to know that Space Raiders come in pickled onion flavour too!
I am pleased to know that! 😋
My fav
T-bone Roysters also the brannigans crisps are great you get roast beef and mustard and ham and pickle.
Thanks! We'll have to keep our eyes open for those.
Brannigans crisps absolutely! The Roast beef and mustard are the best (but strong)
The lamb and mint ones are also good
I'm old enough to remember similar snacks to Space Raiders. There were Outer Spacers, and also Alien Spacers which came in colours like Red and bright Yellow.
Outer Spacers look fun. Thanks for watching!
I'm British and for my the best crisp sandwich is white bread, cheese and chilli heatwave doritos!!!!!! So nice.....
Scampi fries need to be consumed with a pint of larger!
Yeah. I've never had them outside of a pub. 🍺🍺
We'll have to try it!
Yeah, they're offensive. Same as nik naks. They are proper pub fodder, same as pork scratchings. The best crisps are prawn cocktail Seabrooks and Henderson's Relish crisps. Same with Worchestershire sauce Walkers.
@@orbtastic Seabrook rule
Orange some cheese 🧀
A big crisps fan and the boldest flavour I've had in a while are "Pipers - Chorizo". Plus i like how you can track every bag down to the baker, time and date.
I prefer the pickled onion monster munch, they are amazing!! Monster munch and space raiders pickled onion. You will love them both as much guaranteed :)
We've tried them and one of us likes them both. 😂
You should try golden wonder crisps "chips" because golden wonder used to be more popular than walkers until walkers was bought out by lay's and lay's had more money for marketing because they had money from America where golden wonders are truly British or used to be.
Good to know! Thanks!
A lot of British meat flavour snacks are actually suitable for vegetarians ❤ x
very interesting!
Maybe with cheaper crisps, but things like walkers and others in that price range use real meat flavourings
Wotsits and Quavers are given to toddlers as they melt so aren't a choking hazard for little ones. I prefer Quavers. Lighter cheese flavour.
I love to add crisps to any kind of sandwich. Especially a cheese or cottage cheese sandwich! 😋I love your videos, they are so fun and inspiring! ❤🥰
Yeah pickled onions are a thing over here 🤣. Boiled meat and pickled onions.. What is wrong with us? 😁 I'm off now to have a jar of beetroot....
Lol I mean one of us likes pickled onions, so it's not that unreasonable. 😂
Yeh pickled onions here are pretty common, you will find them in the supermarket right next to pickled gherkins (which I think is what you simply called pickles)
Pickled eggs & onions have been sold in most chippys in England for the last 50+ years 👍
I always go for some cheddar in with the crisps in a sandwich. Dependant on the flavour of crisps maybe some ham as well.
My favourite British crisps remain Smith's. These remain very popular in the UK, Australia, and NZ, despite being a much older company than Walkers. My number one choice is its Red Rock Deli variety, which is far thicker cut than the original.
Mackies of Scotland make the best Pickled Onion crisps. I could easily eat one of the 150g packs by myself in one sitting.
They also do some other great flavours too like mature cheddar and onion, haggis and cracked black pepper, and a new seasonal one this year was Boxing Day curry
Branston pickle is pretty delicious, especially with a cheddar or something
Love these videos. I used to have a British snack box subscription from the YT channel This With Them (Kate and Alex). They send SO many good snacks to try. I agree that Wotsits are my fave cheesy snack and If you like chewy candy from the UK, I would definitely recommend trying Fruitella. It's SO good. It's comparable to Star Burst but a million times better hahav
You can get squares in cheese and onion and ready salted! Pickled onion crisp and cheese sandwich! Ham and monster munch sandwich 👍🏻
Sounds great!
Hey!! I’m from South Wales, UK and have recently found your channel.. I’m loving it!! But my favourite packet of crisps is McCoy’s Flame Grilled Steak!!! Please try them in a video id love to see if you agree🖤
Squares are also in ready salted, but harder to get. Discos in salt and vinegar, Mccoys crisps are awesome (flamed grilled steak is recommended), NikNaks are awesome in Nice and spicy, Rib and saucy and scampi.
I have never seen a packet of Walkers Pickled onion in my life and ive lived in england my whole life🤣you found a rare one there
I love that flavour one of the shops near me sell them ( luckily) . But I've never seen them anywhere else.
monster munch the pickled onion ones i used smash up in the bag and then sprinkle over a slice of bread and butter and then make a sandwich out of it... long time ago when i was a kid lol
Sounds good to me!
Love the scampi frys
I've not seen your channel before but now I have I would recommend slicing a banana and making a banana and salt and vinegar crisps sandwich. They are amazing. My wife introduced me to them when we first became a couple, and I'm glad she did.
Pickled onions you can get in a jar they are great cut up in a cheese sandwich . Also walkers cheese snd onion crisps in a cheese sandwich Jeremy would love.
Ooo.. That sounds good. - Jeremy.
Great video! Please do more. While I prefer to have corn/maize based crisps rather than potato. I do like having potato crisps on a sandwich, usually with ham! I don't do this in public. Flamin' Hot Monster Munch are my favourite Crisps but I do like cheese and onion flavour for a crisp sandwich.
Good to know. Thanks!
Pickled onions are a bar snack but are also a favourite in Fish & Chip Shops as a side/accompliment along with picked eggs.
Good to know! Thanks!
Re the shape of Monster Munch. There's two schools of thought of what they are. With the prongs pointing up it looks like a claw, with them pointing down it looks like a monster (head, two arms, two legs)
Yeah Ive always seem them as a monster. I can't help but think they've changed the shapes of them tho.
Oh interesting. Hmmm. 🤔
I'm British and I'd eat all picked onion crisps best flavour out there 😉
One of us really like them. 😂
Pickled onions can be quite astringent, silver skin ones are sweeter/milder. I usually use jars of pickled red onion slices instead, which provide the acidity without the astringency. I'm not overly keen as a crisp flavour. I rather like Walkers Salt & Shake which are unseasoned crisps, with a sachet of slat in the packer, so you can season them to taste.
I can confirm pickles are big in the UK, I work at a Greencore site, and their main product are pickles and sauces
I used to have a sandwich as a kid with salt and vinegar crisps with tomatoe ketchup in white bread with butter.
I prefer cheese and onion squares. If I have Wotsits I have to fight my cat for them LOL - he can eat several out of a packet. They are lighter than Cheetos. I absolutely loooove both those flavours of Fries. The bacon flavour is much better than Frazzles. Love the bacon wheat crunchies too. Traditionally sold over the bar of a pub. I used to have beef Space Raiders in my school lunch box LOL but the individual small packets are tiny. My favourite crisp sandwich was in my lunchbox as a child, adding cheese and onion crisps to my cheese sandwich.
I think Wotsits might be better than Cheetos. They are lighter.
Love your channel I think you would like brannigans crisps from UK. They have roast beef and mustard also ham and pickle they really pack a punch. Also have you tried the British condiments like salad cream . Or piccalilli and my personal favourite which is colmans mustard. However if you try it don't put as much on your hot dog or burger as you would with American mustard it is hot mustard but so good .
We need to find Brannigans. We haven't tried condiments other than HP Brown Sauce. We should look into other stuff.
Brannigans have gone under 😞 Snaps are worth trying spicy tomato flavour and cheese flavour 😋
You need Johnny's pickled Onion ring crisps... best and very strong, I ended up eating 2 packets and could feel my tongue had burned from how strong they are, it's essentially an acid that flavours them afterall.
Best crisps ever.
Best crisp sambo is tayto cheese and onion. 2 slices of white bread, butter and load up with crisps, add the 2nd slice on top and smush. Yum.
Sounds good!
Slice a onion put it in vinegar and half a teaspoon of sugar you can put peeled cucumber sliced too not sure of this is a Yorkshire thing but leave it for a couple of hours the onions get softer . We had this with a Sunday roast on side delish 😋
My (Jeremy) mom makes something similar to this. I didn't know it was a UK thing.
Smith's also used to do another little bag like the bacon fries and scampi but they were called "cheese moments" not sure they make them any more but bringing back some good childhood memories for me 😁
They sound good. We'll have to check that out.
You’d like the cheese and onion squares, chili heatwave Doritos, rib nikbaks, prawn cocktail quavers
I love pickled onions 🧅 especially the baby ones
Smith's Snaps are great. Spicy tomato flavour.
You need to have a Ploughman's Lunch in a UK pub Jeremy! Cheese, pickle relish, bread, ham and actual pickled onions. Or you know since you're in the UK at the moment just buy some pickled onions - I prefer the small ones in a sweet vinegar.
Mmmmm Scampi fries are the best!!!!
Eaten beef space Raiders since being a child you never get bored of the flavour 🤪❤️👽
When I grew up in England it wasn’t Christmas Dinner unless you had 2 or 3 pickled onions on the plate, yummm. Now at 73 next weekend in Canada I stil don’t like salt and malt vinegar on stuff, it’s generally how French fries are served there.
The Smiths crisps are what you'd often find in traditional pubs. So you'd often have a pint of lager or something to compliment them with. I love those scampi fries though, probably more than the bacon ones.
Interesting. It seems like we should be trying these with a beer. Preferably an English beer.
Pickle flavours and more heavy seasoned crisps are best with beer especially bacon fries and scampi fries. You should try brannigans beef and mustard
We do need to try some of them with beer. Beef and mustard crisps sound interesting.
Smiths cheese moments are the best although not seen them around for many years. Or burtons fish n chips salt & vinegar flavour
your normal go-to sandwich, ie cheese & ham toastie with a layer of crisps (your choice) is my fav way to do a crisp sandwich! also have you had mini cheddar red Leicester crisps yet? sorry new to the channel so not sure if you have :P
Wotsits now come in a Giant variety, as do Monster Munch!
Good to know! Thanks!
Hi loved your videos on Crisps from the uk, I have a new idea for you to try what are the differences if any between walkers Crisps and lays?? but it has to be the same flavour to have a fair comparison.
Great idea! There are definitely flavors we could compare.
Also from the smiths range they had cheesy moments...but sadly discontinued. They were awesome 👌
Try the balsamic vinegar pickled onions from M&S - sweet and delicious!
Garner's pickled shallots are delicious.
you got to try Mccoys Thai sweet chicken :) p.s great content btw
We have not had that flavor yet, Sounds good.
You two are soo funny
White bread holds more water than brown bread, so it is more pliable and makes a better sandwich, where the bread is just a contents delivery system, so the lesser flavour of white bread compared to brown isn't a factor. Same for a chip sandwich: the white bread bends easier and doesn't break up when bent and squashed to eating size.
As for pickes, try pork pies. The store bought "pork pies with pickes" chop up the onion, and SOME "bespoke" or "premium" put a whole pickled onion in it, if it is chopped up it is more flavour enhancing while if it is in large pieces or whole, it will have bites of "no onion" and bites of "entirely onion", which may be less palatable to both of you, so pick the cheaper.
All our crisps come in many flavours
You HAVE to try Kettle Crisps and Tyrrells Salted crisps
you need to get a jar of silverskin pickled onions, theyre the little baby pickled onions. Or you can go Full sized pickle onion in malt vinegar from a chippy also sold in a jar
Do you just eat them plain?
@@TheMagicGeekdom slice them up and use them anywhere you would use pickled gherkins
Yes we eat pickled onions and pickled eggs you can get both they are an acquired taste
I ordered a burger in the restaurant the other day, haven't got a clue what type of burger I ordered but it came with BBQ sauce and beef monster munch on it
Agree with Jeremy, the pickled onion Monster Munch are the better flavour, but agree there are VERY strong! - You MUST try Twiglets if you haven't already, I prefer cheese and onion Walkers, or Ready Salted to go with sandwiches and a coke or a beer... Crisp sandwiches are great too (another student type meal) - Try Discos too and I LOVE Roysters - steak flavour, can be found for £1 for 5 small bags... Wotsits are great, softer than your Cheetos, but they now make Giant Wotsits which are even better, but they do stick around your teeth - Quavers, are not bad, a bit like eating flavoured polystyrene, original flavour is chesse, but the sometimes hard to get Salt n Vinegar ones are devine... they also do Prawn Cocktail Quavers, as well as Walkers Prawn Cocktail crisps, which I hate, so if you like Prawn Cocktail flavour, go for SKIPS! Many supermarkets have their own versions of the crisps and snacks, but I tend to prefer the branded ones... Gary :)
Guys you should do a video looking at the the differences between US schools and UK schools especially in the SATs (US) and GCSEs (UK)
We could, but would that make us sad? lol
@@TheMagicGeekdomOMG!!! Hi!! I just think it would be fun to see how different the education system is in the US compared to the UK.
I think that would be interesting too, but I also think it might not bode well for us Americans lol.
@@TheMagicGeekdom Then, maybe looking at school life in the US and the UK, eg a normal school day in both countries
I remember when Spade Raiders used to be 10p for a bag…
While I don't dislike the pickled onion flavour, they are my least favourite flavour monster munch. So I get where she is coming from. Not sure if you have tried them but Walkers have a max range. I'd suggest giving paprika flavour a try. There's also max strong if you like your heat. For me the hot chicken wings are to die for, not the strongest heat wise but a good flavour. There's also peri peri and jalapeño cheese.
Thank you for the suggestions! Our friends did send us some of the Max flavor Walkers crisps and I think we enjoyed most of them lol.
If you like pickles and onions, you'd probably love piccalilli - it's different vegetables cut up in a sweetish mustardy sauce
Thanks for the suggestion!
We usually just use picked onions with salads or just as a snack
Thanks for the info!
Nice to see you again trying uk food merry Xmas or happy holidays, no marvel t-shirt today shame on you lol wifey loo,ing gorgeous as ever loving the hair xx
Thanks! Hope you had a Merry Christmas! And sorry for taking so long to reply.
I told my husband that I loved space raiders bbq flavour he bought me 4 cases I started haven't finished them
You guys should try meanies, they're crisps and pickled onion flavour, made by tayto.
Oh I don't think I've heard of those. Thank you for the suggestion!
Spicy tomato wheat crunchies are the best I think 👍🏻
Ooh that sounds good! I don't think we've seen those.
Know I’m late to the party, but wheat crunchies are now only available in bacon flavour. I know as I emailed KP and they told me they’ve been discontinued. Gutted. They were my favourite too.
I respect your opinion but Worcester Sauce flavour were always my favourite. I miss the multipacks with all of them in. Miss the variety!
I'm not a fan of picked onions full stop. But salt and vinegar flavour is pretty much my favourite.
Pickled onion crisps tend to be more salty whereas pickled onions themselves are mildly vinegared onions
Loving your reactions to our household snacks, can't believe you don't have these in usa, what do you snack on then..? Note on the sandwich...any flavour crisps for a sandwich but has to be potato crisps ☺, not space raiders, monster munch, etc...they are not technically crisps to me
We have a lot of similar snacks, but a lot of the flavors are different. For example, our Lays are the same as your Walkers, but the flavors are very different.
Another good British crisps are nik naks they come in scampi and lemon flavour, tomato sauce flavour, sticky bbq flavour, worstershire sauce flavour and I think there's a couple other flavours too Also Tbone steak Roysters are good.
Thanks for the recommendations!
The best ever pickled onion crisps were by Tudor
Are they no longer available?
@@TheMagicGeekdom they were discontinued in 2003, Tudor pickled onion were lovely but I preferred Tudor spring onion, for me the best pickled onion crisps were KP Meanies, can still buy KP Meanies and they’re magic on a buttered roll
For Tudor, I'd climb a mountain.
Crispy roll butter pickled onion walkers
That sounds good!
Best flavor crisp I ever tried was hedgehog flavor. I don’t think they do them anymore though.
Sounds fun! I assume they don't actually taste like hedgehog. 😂
Hi guys
Deb from Wales here
I love pickled onions, my mother used to pickle here own and I ate thousands of thrm.
They are also in a ploughmans lunch which consists of:
Cold meat, e.g. ham
Crusty bread and butter
Pickle such as Branston pickle
Other items could include
Green salad
Boiled eggs
Apple
This was the meal in centuries past which the farmer took out to his ploughman to be eaten in the field. Hence the name.
If you like pickles and relishes you should try PICCALILLI, which is vegetables picked in a mustardy sauce. My grandmother used to make a green tomato piccalillii and member of my family could not get enough of it and it was delicious.
In the UK it is against our laws to use artificial colourings and additives and preservatives in our food, so Wotsits will not stain you hands as do Cheetos do in the US
SCAMPI is made from crustaceans such as prawns/shrimps, langoustini, which are cut up into bite sized pieces and then covered in breadcrumbs and deep fried and are delicious. In British pubs in the 1970s it was common to have scampi and chips.
I prefer the Bacon Fries to frazzles as well
Oh gosh I have not seen Space Raiders since I was a kid.
My recommendation for you to try next are
BURTON'S
FISH 'N' CHIPS
which are fish and chipped shaped potato snack, and come in salt and vinegar flavour and just so so moreish.
Thanks for all the info. We are for sure trying Fish 'n' Chips soon!
Marks and Spencer's "cheese tasters" are like Wotsits but thicker, cheesier and so much nicer... but every Brit has heard of Wotsits - most won't even have tried M&S cheese tasters. I assure you though, try them and you'll find they are just a better version of Wotsits....
Squares do cheese and onion and ready salted too
Sounds yummy!
‘Tayto’ are great in all flavours
Good to know!
Bacon fries and scampi fries are top tier
Im a year late but Squares do Ready Salted & Cheese & Onion flavours.
I remember the tomato sauce flavour wheat crunchies and bacon that the only 2 i remember
Pickled onion space raiders are nice
We'll have to look for them!
Try the scampy bacon. Cheese n onion square 's
FYI we've got a deep fried potato version of beef space raiders, they're amazing
That sounds good.
@@TheMagicGeekdom I'd send you some but its a frozen product and that's just not going to work lol
Just remembered, they now do a pickled onion deep fried potato version as well, not tried them yet but if they're anything like the beef then i know they'll be amazing 😉
Cheese and Onion crispes with chopped ham,on a toasted roll
You need to try pickled onions , pickled eggs , branston pickle and picallili
Thanks for the recommendations!
Try them with a strong cheese , it's the best !
I pickle my own onions for Christmas time , it's really easy , I use baby onions , you just peel them , put them in a jar to the top and cover in malt vinegar , tighten the top of jar , and leave for a couple of months ! The longer you leave the better ! Try it
Try the other flavoure of wheat cruches and French fries crisps are good as well they also have a few flavours for you to try
We'll have try and find the other flavors. They sound good.
OK great thanks for letting me know hope you like them both of you
Squares also come in cheese and onion flavour
Oooh sounds good. Thanks!
Spare Raiders are the best crisps ever
If u like pickled onion you should try Space raiders pickled onion
We do need to try those!
They need to try flaming hot monster munch there the best 👌
We just did and it did not disappoint. Thanks for the recommendation!
You can get cheese and onion squares
That sounds good.
