Guest boo Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 the lays/smiths/walkers flavours in Holland are boring. Paprika (which is pretty much Sensations Sweet Thai Chili - for some reason they decided to actually sell that flavour here, after it being around for years as Paprika), Bolognese (similar to paprika), Cheese & Onion and Salt - that's it. They sell multi-packs without Cheese & Onion... I'm pretty sure unsalted crisps would be successful here. it's the same crappy choice across most of europe, noone has a choice like the uk. yep. i have no desire to eat crisps here. whereas in the uk it becomes a daily thing. uk corn-based snacks are amazing.

I also quite like the Doritos in those black and white packs. I love the salt & vinegar flavour from Walkers, we don't have this in Holland which is stupid. Builder's Breakfast sounds really nasty. Agree with pigster, what's the point of making crisps that taste like horrible versions of other food, like Barbeque Ham. We've got too many of those bullshit flavours in the Netherlands.

OneToThirtySix Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 do you know what fish and chips is? I live forty-five minutes from the Pacific ocean, and I have a wife dedicated to seafood. Yes, I know what fish and chips is. Usually one or two pieces of deep-fried breaded fish, and a side of deep-fried potato pieces (usually larger than french fries, but more square than steak fries), lemon and tartar sauce. I usually eat the chips with ketchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in the midwest, but the closer to the west coast you get, the more you'd hear "fish & chips". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest boo Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 OneToThirtySix: No, in the UK fish & chips is battered (not breaded) cod, and chips (aka fries, maybe bigger but long, not square - edit: i googled 'steak fries', that is chips), eaten with salt and vinegar. not tartar sauce or lemon.

I usually eat the chips with ketchup. I think you'll find that's battered, not breaded. You seem to have grasped the basic concept, yet I'll wager you've never had actual fish and chips from a proper chippie. Yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the US version is a little retarded, I've seen both battered and breaded fish, regular shoestrings, steak fries and all sorts of substitutions made for various parts of what different restaurants call "fish & chips." Whereas I'm sure I would get exactly the same thing every place I order fish & chips in the UK, the US is a bit larger, making more room for uneducated fuck-ups to do their thing. i think living on the west coast either makes you mexican or japanese I don't tan well, and I have body hair.

keltoi Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 in scotland it's generally haddock rather than cod. i've noticed they seem to be phasing the haddock out for whiting in my local. for breaded fish you ask for special fish. there is also a scottish east/west divide when it comes to condiments... salt and vinegar in the west, salt and sauce (a mixture of vinegar and brown sauce) in the east... got to have chippy sauce in the east.

Wow, didn't know that. Is it literally just mixture, that I could make myself out of brown sauce and vinegar? Or is there more to it than than? Also, mushy peas if you're south east england. Gravy up north. Savages. I've heard that peas and vinegar are the thing in scotland. I couldn't agree more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David R James Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Im quite up for trying Onion Bhaji and Crispy Duck & Hoisin Sauce, i guess the Onion bhaji probably is just onion flavour with alittle bit of curry chucked in right?
