edwardandtubs Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I'm currently in the UK but coming back to Thailand next week. Over here Tesco has an offer on of £2.75 for 550g of Cathedral extra mature cheddar so I'm thinking of buying about 10 of those and bringing them over. However, I wondered if these Lays English cheddar crisps would give me the cheddar fix I need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing which is "XX flavour" tastes remotely like "XX". Bring the cheddar ? Put it in your checked baggage in one of those insulated cooler bags, slip in an ice-pack in there as well if you have a long trip at either end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHTel Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Most flavoured crisps contain only 'flavouring' although there are a few that boast of 'cheese powder' whatever that is. I wonder if Brits here realise that 'Lays' is the same as 'Walkers'. Lays sold in the UK have the brand 'Walkers'. Both are the same company.

Cyclone88 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 You can buy English Cheddar in Pattaya from as little as 99 baht a kilo. Why you bother bringing any over? If your not staying anywhere near Pattaya I'm sure someone could EMS you some in a cooler pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, very good taste.Available at Big C, Lotus and Makro near me, around 204/209 baht.Expensive by uk standards but still worth shelling out to get that “ cheese fix “ [emoji51] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the fact that in the UK Walkers 'Smokey Bacon' flavoured crisps are labelled as Halal and suitable for vegetarians tells you all you need to know. The key word is 'flavoured' the cheese ones are the same, cheese flavoured, doesn't mean any cheese is involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More expensive but who wants to bring over cheese in ice packs? to save 1000 THb Edited September 10, 2018 by BobBKK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
