Crisps

[Bazile]

Why doesn't our office canteen have smoky bacon or beef and onion crisps for sale anymore .

Yes i've asked and noone seem to know why .

Are you experiencing a similiar thing where you are ?

What religion are you alluding to, Bazile?
There are no meat products in meat flavoured crisps, but Muslims and Jews would have no problem eating beef; Sikhs will eat pork as will Hindus are not vegetarian.

Does your canteen serve bacon butties or other pork and beef based sandwiches/meals?

The top selling flavours are:-

1. Ready Salted
2. Ready Salted
3. Salt and Vinegar.

So they are going to stock he most popular, which are not the meat flavours.

I dont really know - i dont have meals from there - i only pop down now and then for a packet of crisps

[Gromit]

Crisps are suitable for vegetarians, there is no actual meat content so they won't be banned on relugious grounds.

[hc4361]

Ha! I bet they hide them under the counter and only sell them to regular customers, just to spite you :D

Bazile, it would be easier (and probably cheaper) for you to stock up on your favourites in the supermarket and keep a supply of them at work

Interesting to see what vegetarians can't eat. I have no intention of going veggie any time ever

indeed mrs_overall - my colleague has a draw full of goddies - he could start a corner shop , so to speak

I dont know. I only ever eat the salt and shake crisps with the little blue bag of salt inside. and i always throw that away.

Marmite ones have been in the shop recently. I bought a bag just a few weeks ago. Despite my earlier post, it's a shame the hedgehog ones seem no longer sold. I liked the novelty even if I had no idea if the taste was even close.

I think they had a problem with separating the bristles og. some got through and what with the blood and all that it spoilt the taste of the hedgehog crisps.
