Squirrel chips - The Firearms Forum

Or as we call them, Crisps.

Yes, they are real.

Crpdeth · 03-25-2009, 07:17 AM

That is too cool, I gotta try some.

I LOVE experimenting with new chip flavors -
I have to say, this would be the wildest ever, if I could find it here.

Try Ebay Terry... The shipping is a little high for a small bag of chips, but perhaps worth it to try something we can't get here.

Well, I will tell you what, for any TFF that keen to try them, I will try to arrange it. I know someone going Stateside in the next month or so, just PM an address, work if not happy about home on a PM, and I promise to try.

ampaterry · 03-25-2009, 08:04 AM

Tranter, a most generous offer, and THANK YOU for making it.

Let me look around a bit, though, as this has now become a challenge -
Might try the Crispy Duck & Hoisin too.
I see Walkers is owned by Frito Lay -

THANK you, for opening up a new group of flavors for me -

ampaterry · 03-25-2009, 08:09 AM

Check the ad for them on the Walkers site!

That is the funniest thing I've seen in a while!

TranterUK · 03-25-2009, 01:49 PM

They dont taste too bad, though wont replace salt and vinegar as my first choice.

Charlie the sniper · 03-25-2009, 03:17 PM

Tranter, do you remember "HEDGEHOG CRISP/CHIPS" ??///

pinecone70 · 03-25-2009, 04:20 PM

Mmm, salt & vinegar chips are my favorite. Do you put vinegar on chips (fries) in the UK, or is that just a Canada thing?

TranterUK · 03-25-2009, 04:40 PM

Yes pinecone we put vinegar on our chips (fries).

And yes Charlie, I remember Hedgehog crisps, wonder why they never caught on?

olmossbak · 03-25-2009, 08:14 PM

I had fried cod and fries with malt vineger on them today at lunch. It was served at a 4star eatery known as Captain D's Enjoyed it very much.

ampaterry · 03-26-2009, 05:04 AM

Does anyone remember Arthur Treacher's?
Fish and Chips, British style, and the wrapper was printed up like the London Times.
Very good with Malt Vinegar.
I haven't seen one in DECADES.

olmossbak · 03-26-2009, 11:12 AM

My goodness Amp, you are as old as I. Yes, I do remember vaguely like everything else.

pinecone70 · 03-26-2009, 11:39 AM

Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips are still around, I've seen them on my travels. There was at least one local when I was growing up, I think it may have burned down.

mrkirker · 03-27-2009, 11:35 AM

Hope it wasn't one of those terrible 'friction fires'!

That made my nite. Thanks Tranter.

Squirrel taters. Who knew?

kutaho · 05-04-2009, 06:09 PM

I can't stand it. I have to ask, Do they really taste like squirrel/hedgehog?
not to sound gullible or anything.

Not wishing to disillusion anyone, but I have never eaten squirrel or hedgehog, and am in no hurry to do so. (Though I do shoot squirrels year round here). So basicly, I dont know.

I can say they taste horrible...

oh, my....... the things people turn into "food"....... I'm sticking with my AA pizza....

fmacsin1 · 05-05-2009, 07:54 AM

I've tried a good many "culinary delights" over the years, but I must say Squirrel Crisps have not been one of them and I'm not sure I even want to try, thank you very much!

A lot to be said for food fresh out of its coat as opposed to stuff flavored to taste like food.
