Walkers Crisps, Family Favourites

...rationing. And so, the first Walkers production line burst into action in the empty upper storey of Walker's Oxford Street factory in Leicester. During these early days the potatoes were sliced up by hand and cooked in an ordinary fish and chip frier. Mr Gerrard himself was the first cook! From this humble start, the public's love affair with crisps and Walkers began and crisp manufacture was here to stay. Today, Walkers is Britain's favourite ...
...product is the multipack of Walkers original crisps. I pulled the huge big bag out of the cupboard and examined the packet. Not bad- this huge bag contained 14 packets of walkers crisps. The flavours this particular bag included were *Ready Salted *Cheese and Onion *Salt and Vinegar *Prawn Cocktail Not bad, I thought, though I wasn't a huge fan of prawn cocktail I thought I may aswell give them a try. The 14 packets of crisps were held in a ...

Review of Walkers Crisps, Family Favourites

Walkers Crisps are probably the best known and, dare I say it, best loved crisps in the UK. Their slogan says “There’s no crisp like Walkers” and I don’t think anyone, whether they like them or not would disagree. They claim to harvest potatoes that are grown specially for Walkers, add their own unique flavours (can’t argue with that) and keep the crisps fresh with their ‘three way protective packaging”. ...
...to really feel the ‘tang’. Walkers just didn’t do it for me. The flavourings were weak and very unmemorable and I can’t say I was too disappointed when I reached the end of the packet (which like ALL Walkers crisps was only filled about ½ of the way up the bag). I guess for those people out there who like ‘mild’ flavours in their crisps it would be ok, but when it comes to me they get the thumbs down. The second ...

It says the flavour of the crisps on the front, but you usually can tell by looking at the colour – see above. The bag has a glossy effect, and are foil on the inside so that the crisps stay fresh. I can remember when I was a kid, if the packets were left too long, the crisps would be soft, but with the ...

Review of Walkers Crisps, Family Favourites

Walkers are one of the best known manufacturers of Crisps and other snack foods here in UK. In fact, they are perhaps my favourite variety of Crisps on the market. But did you know about all of the different flavours and did you know how bad Crisps are for you? Well let me tell you all about them. History. -------- Walkers Crisps started life as Walkers the Butchers! Henry Walker started his business selling meat in firstly Mansfield and then ...

Review of Walkers Crisps, Family Favourites

...the snack food block – Walkers of Leicester. Straight from the off, their crisps had me ‘hooked’. The problem we’ve all found with other brands is uniformity of taste. Other brands’ crisps did not have that ‘full’ flavour in each bag. I’ve tasted some which frankly you’d be hard pressed to tell if it was Chicken, Beef, Bacon or PLAIN! No such problem with Walkers – they are always the best. ...
...killed for a packet of Walkers Cheese and Onion!” I know what he feels like. My favourite too, those Cheese n Onions – like father like son, I suppose. That’s pretty much enough about the history of the crisp and my family’s addiction to them. I bet you lot must think I’m a right case – first confessing to my love of Maltesers, now Walkers crisps – all washed down with Fosters Lager maybe…well not ...

...well!!!) ~ ~ Nowadays, Walkers are prominently displayed on all the supermarket shelves here in Ireland, and the best buy is their “multi-pack” of crisps. This contains six 25-gram packets, and can be purchased in either a variety of flavours, or in a pack containing only the old family favourite, the plain potato crisp. You can get a combination that includes a couple of packets of plain, two of Cheese and Onion, and a couple of the ...
...little lass prefers the more “exotic” variety, that includes varieties such as Prawn Cocktail, Worcester Sauce, or Barbecue flavour. We usually end up buying about four of these multi-packs, as my wife enjoys the Cheese and Onion and Salt and Vinegar, while my own preference is still for the good old ready salted plain variety. (old habits die hard) They’re excellent value as well, at only Euro 1.80 per pack, or 30 cents per packet. ...

Review of Walkers Crisps, Family Favourites

...the line workers in the Walkers factory that morning. You see it is all to do with organic chemistry, otherwise known as aromatic hydrocarbon development. You take nasty bits of plastic blend them under certain heat conditions and behold you get a substance that smells and tastes of smoky bacon. Also it is not the salt. Although there is enough salt in a packet of crisps to send your blood pressure up by about 2mm of mercury. No it is the carbohydrate. ...
...2) The second way in which Walkers crisps may kill is due to the simplicity of these carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates such as potato fragments heated in hydrogenated oil are readily broken down into glucose by the body. This causes your pancreas to release a load of insulin. The sugar is stored and then you suffer a hypo. This makes you hungry for more, and this is the reason why one bag is never enough. So what. Well the insulin release depletes ...

...player... yep you've guessed it, Walkers crisps. ***Outer Packaging*** The rustly bag comes in the shape of 3 striped colours, black, purple and pink with the Walkers logo, piccies of crisps and the flavours to the front and just about everything you wanted to know about the ingredients, a little bit of Walkers promoting themselves and the typical nutritional values down to the last gram. ***Flavours*** Being a 6 pack it is quite sensibly split ...
...the newsagent and being that Walkers provide many a mixed selection of flavours you will undoubtedly be able to get your favourite flavours too. The crisps are of superb quality and quantity, as you can guarantee that when you open the pack you will find a healthy helping of crisps and not air, as with some other makes. They are a great snack gap, that will tide you over until your next meal and contain far less offensive fat and calorie content ...

...to go with my lunch Walkers are ones I choose. I go for the 25g bags, which come in multipacks of 6, 12 or 18 at a time, obviously for better value. Actually talking of better value I’ll tell you a little story about Walkers crisps that could save you money. The multipacks containing 6 packets of crisps usually retail in Asda for 96p each or you can buy 3 for £2.50, thus making a saving of 38p. Walkers crisps are often featured in Safeway’s special ...

There’s always an address on every pack to which you can write to if you do have any complaints though. The crisps themselves ...

Well everyone knows walkers crisps. They are the most popular brand and have the added advantage of Gary Liniker and Ms Tara Palmer Tomkinson advertising them. But they have changed, have you noticed? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE NEW WALKERS They are now cooked with Sunseed oil.............but what does that mean. Well, I love crisps for a start but never really liked walkers. They ...
...of them. WOW, have Walkers crisps changed. They are still of course made with potatoes but they are no longer greasy and have 70% less (yes 70% less) saturated fat. Now we all know by now that the saturated fats are bad for you . Sunseed oil is high in mono-unsaturates a 'good' fat. As stated by Walkers this is one of the healthiest oils there is. They have also lowered the salt content at 0.4g which is equivalent to just 7% of your daily intake. ...

...always been a fan of Walkers chees & onion flavoured crisps. Definately the best crisps on the market for freshness, crunchiness and flavour....Until now! What have they done? Due to all the hype about nutrition nowadays, which I totally agree on!Walkers have decided to change the way they cook their crisps. They are now frying our favorite crisps with healthy Sunseed oil.reducing the sauturated fat by 70% and they only contain 0.5gm of salt, which ...

But then they claim they have made these improvements without changing the taste. This is where I beg to differ!

The flavours you get are 8 Salt and Vinegar, 12 Ready Salted and 12 Cheese and Onion packets.

My favorite flavour is ready salted, I love them either on their own or with a sandwich for lunch and have even used them in summer with a salad to replace potatoes, as sometimes its too hot to cook. The ready salted flavours are very crunchy and are not as salty as you'd expect, but can be a bit ...

Walker's crisps which are gluten free and suitable for vegetarians, have been produced since 1948 and today are Britain's favourite brand-just ask Gary Lineker. They come in a wide variety of flavours. There is Ready Salted,one of my favourites; I suppose I am a crusty old traditionalist at heart ! Then there is the hugely popular Cheese & Onion which seems to be the pub goers favourite. Worcester Sauce, Cheese & Chives, Smoky Bacon, Roast Chicken ...

The ingredients of Prawn Cocktail crisps comprise potatoes vegetable oil paprika cocktail flavour sweetener salt They also contain a source of Phenlalanine but please do not ask me what that is - I havent a clue. Crisps are a fine stand alone snack. However, I do enjoy them ...
