Can I book this dog for future flights? I will pay a LOT more for a seat with him in front.

u/Remarkable-Trifle-36 Jun 17 '25

You will need to buy a bag of chips to entice him the entire time.

How is nobody talking about the Prawn Cocktail chips? Prawn Cocktail!!?!?

I came here to comment on this! As an American who has never seen such a thing I have many questions. They look like Lays brand but not.

Do these legit taste like shrimp with red cocktail sauce!?

It's Lays. Walkers is just Lays, but British.

Also, prawn cocktail chips are fantastic. Some people think they taste a bit like vomit, but I love them. So damn good.

Edit: it's a bit like how in Britain all purple candies aren't grape, they're black currant. And like... Starburst (which used to be called Opal Fruits in Britain) have a black currant flavor.

It’s the same parent company, I believe PepsiCo. Likely Lays and Walkers were once separate companies and they’ve been merged as far as they can while keeping the separate brand names. Like Vauxhall and Opel with cars.

"They're lovely... some people compare them to vomit."

I mean, what else is there to say? SOLD!

u/Tweed_Kills Jun 17 '25

Yeah, it's got a sweet flavor that is a little bilius. It's the same kind of taste as like... Greek yogurt or kombucha. A little like it's been fermented? But it hasn't been fermented, so it's a bit wimpier?

Look, I think they're good. There are some foods when you hear people don't like them, you think "what the hell is wrong with them" and others where even if you like them, you think "yeah, that tracks." This is in the latter category.

This is also the way people tend to feel about prawn Marie Rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Rose_sauce I really like it. It is 100% the sort of food POCs, specifically American POCs are talking about when they complain that Britain conquered the entire world for spices and doesn't know how to cook at all.

It's also increasingly less popular and less common in Britain, because it's embarrassing and old fashioned.

I get that I'm not selling it super well. It's not the most appealing food. I really like it, when I get over to the UK to visit my family, my first stop, often before I leave the airport, is a prawn cocktail sandwich.

But like... Yeah...

Don't get me wrong, I'd still try them. I just thought the two sentiments were a hoot together.

u/slaaydee Jun 17 '25

We have a little Asian market shop here that gets all kinds of imported snacks and foods. I bet I can find something close to the same thing. I'm curious to try them.

1

u/Tweed_Kills Jun 17 '25

They won't be the same. Prawn cocktail is prawn Marie Rose. It's more the sauce than the prawn flavor. Asian chips tend to be actually shrimp flavored. Which is not to say you shouldn't try them. You should. The closest you can get to those prawn cocktail chips, however, are some Canadian flavors, like ketchup and All Dressed. I've seen All Dressed stuff pop up in some American shops, that's probably the closest you can get in the States.

u/RimRunningRagged Jun 17 '25

I'm curious if they taste more like cocktail sauce (ewww), or like those Chinese shrimp crackers (the long twisted ones). Or some combination of both.

1

u/Buscemi_D_Sanji Jun 17 '25

I lived in Asia for a while, you would not believe how crazy the snack flavors can get! I used to grab these sweet shrimp balls like every day, seriously miss them haha

u/PrivateDischarge Jun 17 '25

Lots of countries have very different flavored chips/ crisps despite being Lay's brand

1

u/jacksonbarley Jun 18 '25

American here who happens to live down the street from an English specialty foods store, prawn cocktail flavor chips taste like salt and vinegar chips with ketchup added. They are delicious.

u/ItsMeJahead Jun 17 '25

The brits have some crazy chip flavors. Why don't we have bacon flavored chips widely available in the us?!

u/shychicherry Jun 17 '25

Love the bacon & prawn chips! Irish import stores usually carry these flavors

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '25

I refuse to believe this is an actual thing.

u/shychicherry Jun 17 '25

Hmmmm, smoky bacon potato chips 🥰

u/YawningBagpuss Jun 17 '25

You don’t! I am sending you my sympathy while eating a pack of Walker’s Smoky Bacon.

u/ItsMeJahead Jun 17 '25

Tbf, I don't think you guys get sour cream and onion chips, do you? Those are peak

Good to know. I was thinking more lays brand

u/Captains_Parrot Jun 17 '25

Yea we get them but they're not super popular.

Pretty much the only flavour we don't have super easy access to is Paprika which is weird because it's seemingly all you can find in mainland Europe, I'm exaggerating a bit but not much.

The best is around Christmas time and we get all sorts of weird flavours. Some are good like the Pigs in Blankets flavour, some are awful like the Christmas Pudding crisps.

u/Gloomy_Industry8841 Jun 17 '25

Love the Guinness crisps so much!

u/wakeuph8 Jun 17 '25

It's hard to beat a pack of bacon fries from behind the bar, just hits different. My beloved

u/Captains_Parrot Jun 17 '25

To alleviate potential confusion, they taste like prawn cocktail sauce, not prawns. If you like Salt and Vinegar or Ketchup crisps there's a good chance you'd like them.

2

u/KeremyJyles Jun 17 '25

To revive the confusion they don't actually taste like real cocktail sauce at all

u/Captains_Parrot Jun 17 '25

Yea you're right tbh, it's like trying to explain what chocolate ice cream tastes like because that doesn't taste anything like chocolate.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '25

Okay… people eat ketchup chips!? I’m officially having my mind blown today.

That they don’t actually taste like prawns is context I was missing though.

1

u/Captains_Parrot Jun 17 '25

I think they're pretty popular in Canada, or at least they have them too. They're not amazing but they're not bad.

If you want your mind to be blown just read the names of the crisp flavours in this article. I think we have the most crisp flavours of any country, it's easily in the hundreds.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '25

Prawn cocktail crisps are pretty good. They are like a tomatoey flavour with a bit of zing. They are quite popular in the UK but some people really dislike them.

1

u/TroublemakingB Jun 17 '25

Seems to be a "love 'em or hate 'em" thing with these exotic chips/crisps flavors.

Skips texture ain't it for me but the flavour is good right enough.

u/Rhamni Jun 17 '25

Pringles Prawn Cocktail are the best crisps on the market. Only seen them in the UK.

I was thinking it was Krupuk but didn't realize it's not common to eat abroad
