They have changed the shape of Bourbons

Porscha! · 12-05-2008, 06:01 PM

Is it maybe through demands of slimmers?

Walnut Whips RULE! Wagon Wheels I like but they remind me of a girl my mates and I used to call chicken legs at primary school!!

Boourbons are better than Custard Creams and should be rectangluar (and no I can't spell that)!

beemerbird · 12-05-2008, 06:28 PM

Porscha - one of the blokes I sit with at work ate 3 walnut whips today. They're on offer in a shop in Hull, three for a quid lol. He bought 6 and gave me one (walnut whip).

My favourite biscuits are those really nice posh selections ones that are covered in thick choclolate - yummy!!

Never got the idea of garibaldi tbh but will eat them.

SEABROOKS!!

Best crisps EVER....pickled onion flavour that is.

Trouble is, they are a nightmare to get hold of. Only place I have found that sells them is the shop in the bus station in Pontefract which has now closed, a little corner shop in Leeds and Kwiksave in Bangor which is a bit of a treck.

I bought 42 packets a few years back when I was in Whales. They are seriously yummy, but if you eat too many packets they start to shred the crap out of your tastebuds and make your tongue sore.

You can actually buy them online, but you have to buy 48 packets and they tend to go out of date before I can get through them all

beemerbird · 12-05-2008, 06:59 PM

Just been on their website - bloody hilarious!!

http://www.seabrookcrisps.com/

Never seen pickled onion flavour, I'm going to have a look in Sainsburys next week lol. My other half only eats the ready salted ones. Bloody excellent value though.

Can't believe you bought all those packets of crisps.

Haha. Neither could the woman at the checkout.

She had to ask me about 3 times if i really wanted them. She took a lot of convincing.

She actually beeped each packet through the checkout too. She obviously didnt know she could just add quantity.

Oh man...my mouth is seriously watering now. I've got to find somewhere that stock these badboys.

I actually remember a shop near where i used to work used to order them in just for me. But i live miles away now.......think i might treat myself to a box for christmas....although £17 on crisps is a biz crazy.

Buy the crisps Madman, remember If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

deletedelete · 12-06-2008, 02:18 AM

I have never heard of any of these snacks.

Its making me hungry none the less.

Helen, I worked for a company a few years ago that went into a Joint Venture with Nestle. They sent us some chocolate for xmas but by mistake sent a Pallet of Walnut Whips!!

The whole office had Walnut Whips everywhere and after 20 boxes each it's a fair to say we had are fill of them.

Don't think I could manage 3 in one day!!!

I like them too but my favourite ones are homemade ones

booforty · 12-07-2008, 06:23 AM

I have written to the manufacturer in protest

beemerbird · 12-09-2008, 05:28 AM

Pleased to report that the bourbons on the trolley service at work are still oblong.

All is well with the world.

NFS · 12-09-2008, 05:46 AM

Thank goodness.

The custard cream shaped ones appeared at our premises again yesterday, but I shied away from them and had a fruit shortie instead.

No problem getting hold of them here in Bradford...the home of Seabrooks crisps!! The Roasted Garlic are interesting and I love the Tomato Ketchup flavour as well!

beemerbird · 12-09-2008, 06:38 AM

Anyone else hungry now?

CrimsonRedE93 · 12-09-2008, 07:21 AM

Yep, could just fancy a cuppa and a slice of Bakewell tart.

I may have to drop some not so subtle hints

Not impressed about the bourbons or the Bakewell tarts?

On a second note I don't actually think there are any tarts in Bakewell

dxb335d · 12-09-2008, 04:15 PM
