*Bob* Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'd be interested to know other people's thoughts on the ultimate maize-based cheese snack. Balls. Curls. Puffs. etcSainsburys 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'd still say Wotsits. Know what you mean about hit & miss, but I think you get more hits.Quavers have a great fake cheese taste, but don't meet the puff/ball criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Get yourself off to New Zealand - Twisties are the ultimate cheesy puff snack. And while you're there, Burger Rings are to die for! Nothing in the UK comes close.I've got some in my Christmas box of goodies from Mum, but I'm not sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bob* Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Twisties were ok, but not really worth getting of bed for - let alone making the 23,000 mile round trip. Overrated. (Like Australia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Burger Rings were okay, but nout special. Now who remembers "Quarterbacks"? Used to love the Cheeseburger flavour!Oh, and the bacon "French Fries" that came in the pack that looked like newspaper (well not really, but that was the idea).

Jah Lush Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Burger Ring? Sounds like a euphemism for something messy in the trouser area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asset Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 what were those prawn cocktail flavour crisps shaped like little shells? Fit perfectly on the tip of the tongue and tingled crazily for a minute before melting into the mouth. I like them, can't remember what they're called.

Mr Django Wisteria Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Django Wisteria Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Frisps I think. Those shell like hoodjamaflips- that would be a good name for a snack. They weren't any good for conversation..Frisps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
