Lays Crisps

[blue05]

Things are looking up, just been to Family Mart and they had a new flavour, Italian Spaghetti , to Brits it is pretty much Tomato Sauce flavour.

Now if they could only get Thais to enjoy Salt & Vineger

[sateeb]

In Villa Market and SOME 7/11's I have seen Salt N Vinegar and Cheese n Onion crisps foe sale. Can't remember the brans but I think maybe German made. The S&V are particularly lip numbing strong

[dtaai-maai]

I like malt vinegar on egg & bacon, and sometimes on fish & chips, but Mrs D-M can't begin to understand why I'd let it anywhere near something I was planning to eat.

I refer her to that Isaan delicacy with the colour and text of t*rd...

I have had the sant n vineger from Villa Market, they have Lays US imported at 140bt a big bag and the have kettle chips too but they are expensive also

hey ho

the italian flavour in Family mart is only 20bt so Thai Pricing

Both the big Lotuses (Market Village) and The one on the highway past the flyover stocked Salt and Vinegar crisps for a while. However the one past the flyover has been out of stock for a few weeks. I checked in Market Village and they too appear to have run out. On the possitive side, nothing has replaced them; the spaces on the shelves have been left vacant so perhaps a return is immanent? Maybe Lays dramatically underestimated the demand for them and have sold out countrywide - or maybe Tesco are using the "We have load of other types of crisps, so we're not ordering anymore until they've ALL run out" sort of mentality I see here oh so often!

Are you retired, Pleng?

Yes, even though my wife has lived in SA for a few months and in the UK for about two and a half years, she's never come to terms with vinegar. She's also daft enough to not appreciate Marmite, while at the same time being a Peanut Butter addict.

In fact, I'll never quite understand Thai taste buds and their sense of smell. For example, my missus thinks durian smells great, but then she tells me my parmasan cheese stinks. They chomp through countless chilies, but yet they think pepper is very spicy. And to top it all, they don't think twice about sprinkling some sugar on their mash potato.


Anyway.......back to Lays.

Correct. Lorenz is indeed the brand (my mistake - and sorry for hijaking a Lays thread!). Back in stock at Lotus Market Village now, too.
I have also seen them in some of the 7/11s towards the town centre before.

its a crisp thread essentially, so are these Lorenz crisps salt n vinegar?

[sateeb]

Yes...they also do a mean cheese n onion....as near as dammit to Walkers Crisps

[Vital Spark]

Thanks for that little bit of info, Sateeb. I would die for a packet of crisps that tasted like Walker's Cheese & Onion.

I'm going on a Lorenz hunt on Friday. Are they called cheese & onion or something else, and is the packet label in Thai or English? Most of the crisps sold in my neck of the woods have a picture of a crab, prawn or lobster on the packet.

There is also a version of Hula Hoops available in Thailand. It's called Roller Coaster made by Jack 'n Jill. Many different flavours including Cheese and Onion. 20 Baht for a big bag. Only seen them at the small Tesco Express shops but sure they will soon be available elsewhere.

It seems to me that any chips (crisps) are more greasy than our counterparts
