I've just noticed Walkers no longer make Worcester Sauce flavour crisps!

    You make that sound like a bad thing - it was a sad day when Walkers and their insipid flavours took over from Golden Wonder, Smith's and KP crisps which were far superior.

    Flavours I miss are:

    Golden Wonder: Salt N' Vinegar, Ready Salted, Cheese and Onion, Sausage and Tomato, Beef and Onion and at xmas turkey and stuffing.

    KP: Beef, Salt n' Vinegar

    Smith's: Bovril, Salt N' Vinegar (the best ones ever)

    Murphy's: Worcester Sauce

    Walker's have never come close to these flavours and are second rate in comparison.

    I always found Seabrook Worcester Sauce flavour too salty. They may have reduced the salt now - everyone else has.

    I'm not sure if it was Murphy's that I used to buy. There were definitely some Worcester Sauce crisps around when I was at school in the Seventies, they tasted more like the actual sauce than newer ones.

    Tyrrells do Worcester Sauce and Sun-Dried Tomato flavour which are very good. They are quite expensive, usually in smart cafés and delis rather than supermarkets. In fact according to the Telegraph Tyrrells refused to supply Tesco.

  • Hedgehog flavour

    Hedgehog flavour? Is that for roadkill fetishists?

  • French Fries do worcester sauce flavour.

  • WALKERS - SOUR CREAM and CHIVE
    gone......... :cry:

    they were my favourite :mad:

  • French Fries do worcester sauce flavour.

    Made by Walkers too. :)

  • French Fries do worcester sauce flavour.

    I can get them at my local SPAR, I used to love the Worcestershire crisps, another much lamented loss to the British snack choice (along with Nutty Bars, Whispas, Spangles, et all).

  • I used to love Worcester Sauce flavour! I used to love the French Fries of that flavour too.

  • French Fries do worcester sauce flavour.

    I loved them but haven't seen them for about 10 years :(

  • My favourite was Barbecue flavour ... haven't seen those for some time, have they been discontinued too?

  • The only two crisp flavours that I liked were spring onion and worcestershire sauce. They replaced Worcestershire with Chilli months ago, (and I hate chilli); and the only place in which I have seen Spring Onion being sold is in a random store in Islington.

    This flavour is now called BBQ Rib - No idea if they've changed the flavour though.

    Oh yeah, Spring Onion was a really nice flavour too but I've only ever seen these in Wilkinson stores at 25p a bag! Not sure if they are still around today though.

  • I didn't like Worcestershire sauce. I never see Tomato Sauce Walkers though. Discos are hard to find. I used to like KP crisps.

    Yes - I miss Tomato sauce flavour Walkers too :cry:

    Wow, in Wilkinsons!? It's funny how these things have a habit of hanging around longer than they should in the strangest of places. Like almond snickers, which can only be found, to my knowledge, in the pound shops of Dumbarton!

    BBQ has changed quite radically, I would say: it used to be the flavour of BBQ sauce; now it is moreso the flavour of the rib..

  • Marmite and Lamb and Mint rock :)

  • They replaced beef and onion with steak and onion which doesnt taste very nice. Hopefully they wont get rid of smoky bacon which is another favorite of mine

  • In fact according to the Telegraph Tyrrells refused to supply Tesco

    They asked Tesco to stop selling the Parsnip crisps. Tesco now make their own Parsnip crisps (and also Vegetable crisps which have parsnips in them) which IMO are much better than the Tyrrells anyway.

  • Oh my god i cant believe that i loved them! bring them back!

  • Glad they are still doing Cheddar Cheese!!
    Worcester Sauce were gorgeous.... Now I know why I haven't seen them
    for ages!

  • This is what happens once a company gets so big that their goods are almost the only ones available - they then start to trim their range according to sales, and all of a sudden we realise we can longer get the type/flavour we like.

  • I loved them but haven't seen them for about 10 years :(

    I had a packet with my sandwich today. :p

    Lucky you :cry:

  • This is the shop i was talking about. You can buy American food and drink through the site. Luck Charsm are £6.85 a box, not sure if that includes P&P though.

    Breakfast Cereals Page

    I notice Mountain Dew is £1.20 a bottle! I got some in Budapest for about 50p for a litre!

    They've started selling Rece's Cups and all different varieties of Oreos over here in the past few years, so maybe it's only a matter of time before they start selling more American food products?

    I. Love. You. I was just thinking this morning about how much I miss American foods when I've not been there for a while! :) Thank you for the link.

  • Walkers crisps don't taste the same without the proper fat and salt on them anyway.

    I saw the new Quavers the other day. Thats them ruined I'll bet :(

    They taste like cardboard now, ruined :eek:

  • Ew.
    Good riddance to them, too.
    I miss the old barbecue, that was my absolute favourite flavour. Now they taste like curry.
    And cheddar cheese tastes like feet.
    And I barely ever see smokey bacon!
    And the Ready Salted is...too salty!
    :cry:
