I'd be interested to know other people's thoughts on the ultimate maize-based cheese snack. Balls. Curls. Puffs. etc


Sainsburys Cheese Balls have gone downhill since 1987, when they peaked. Generic puffs and balls are everywhere these days, but the flavour is often poor - especially if you've never heard of the brand and there's a picture of a red cockerel or similar on the packet.

Wotsits can be hit and miss - sometimes a little brittle, dry and lacking in that delicious pseudo-cheese powder. And I'm sure they used to be bigger.

M&S Cheese Tasters usually guarantee a good flavour but the proportions are a bit small so you need more than one at a time.


So, to reacap: I'm looking for a cheesy ball, diameter around 250mm with a slightly claggy 'cheese' surface but with a cripsy interior.


Can anyone help?

I had a pack this morning! They're not particularly spicy. Not actually sure if they're nice, either.

Hedgehog flavoured crisps were a bit unusual. They found a gipsy gent who'd tasted roasted hedgehog to adjudicate as to the accuracy of the flavouring. And some of the money went to Saint Tiggywinkles the Hospital for Hedgehogs. Nice.

I miss those pickled eggs in jars on the pub counter. Not to eat but to look at while you were waiting for your pint.

    • Looking for a celebrity impersonator for a party or any good companies any one knows, please let me know!!
    • That’s another big hike on the Sainsbury’s mini rolls! I spoke to one of the managers on the day of the anchovies price rise but all he could say was that his store doesn’t set the prices. Very vague and not helpful. i started this thread about price rises in  Sainsbury’s and it’s somehow being blamed on Brexit etc! 
    • And the Sainsbury’s own brand chocolate mini rolls have gone from £1.15 to £1.40 overnight, so 22%-ish. I prefer them them to the Cadbury original because they have a lot more chocolate on them, presumably because they’re made in a less advanced factory. I would think that getting the Rizla thin coating of chocolate that Cadbury’s accountants demand onto a piece of sponge is quite a sophisticated operation. Discuss.
    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
