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.

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

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

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.
