these are made in oregon. they smoke lays kettle chips and others.
YES AND YES. We get those here. I still prefer Zapps, but these are a close #1A.
The best salt and vinegar chips cannot be had in the US of A.
Walkers Crisps. Gotta fly to the UK to get them, but them Limeys know how to manage a tater and some vinegar. I basically live on these whenever I am in Aberdeen, because other than tatties and neeps, Scottish food sucks.
Their website also says they just came out with Extra Crispy Crisps - basically a kettle cooked chip. Will give that a try the next time I cross the pond and report back...
EDIT: Just read deeper into the Website - turns out they got bought by PepsiCo in 1991... it's a miracle they still taste good.
But check out this new list of flavors:
In April 2010 the company launched a promotional campaign entitled the 'Walkers Flavour Cup' to find the world's favourite flavour. The campaign could be considered confusingly similar to promotional activities surrounding the 2010 Football World Cup. However Walkers is not a sponsor or affiliated with the FIFA World Cup in anyway. The flavours are:
American Cheeseburger
Argentinean Flame Grilled Steak
Australian BBQ Kangaroo
Brazilian Salsa
Dutch Edam Cheese
English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding (This is the winning flavor... blech!)
French Garlic Baguette
German Bratwurst Sausage
Irish Stew
Italian Spaghetti Bolognese
Japanese Teriyaki Chicken
Scottish Haggis
South African Sweet Chutney
Spanish Chicken Paella
Welsh Rarebit
