Cake Monster Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 OP There is no way that the Lays will replicate a true Cheddar Taste Why bring the horrible Tesco mass produced Cheese ?. Go to a local Market and try some of the Cheeses that are produced by small producers on their Farms. Its far superior in quality and taste to the mass produced cheese, and if you are lucky you will be able to find a Cheese that is really to your liking and bring that back.

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. No, they won't! Cathedral is available here in Villa.

Lokie Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 When I seen 'Cathedral' I was gonna sort of say if thats what you think is decent cheese then yes Lays taste just as good (as that) 555 Just bring a few blocks if thats what you like, the cheese here is a lot dearer than UK prices.

edwardandtubs Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) I like to try cheese from local producers too but it's a bit unfair to call all supermarket cheese inferior and mass produced. They go through very similar production processes and maturation. Tesco finest Stilton is delicious and Lidl has some nice cheeses too. I would bring back some Stinking Bishop but I don't want to stink out the plane. I don't think a day out of the fridge is going to do some shrink-wrapped cheddar any harm. It would be good to hear a review by someone who has actually tried some of those Lays crisps though. I tried the baked cheese and tomato ones and they were ok but way too salty. Tasted a bit like a very cheap microwave pizza. Edited September 10, 2018 by edwardandtubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the different ones when you are here and choose! as for cheese we have demonstrated that you can buy it here, at high quality in many places, at a little extra costs than UK. If you want to save your 20 quid (900 THB) then bring it over with ice packs and all! happy munching as I too am a cheesy addict lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good cheddar easy to find. World class award winning cheddar a bit harder to find and more expensive but no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key word is 'flavoured' the cheese ones are the same, cheese flavoured, doesn't mean any cheese is involved. A few years ago I worked with an Indian guy in London, who had just married into a strict vegetarian family. Being partial to the odd crisp, he phoned Walkers to find out which flavours he would be allowed to eat. Their answer?Any except cheese & onion! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I have tried so called cheese flavoured biscuits and crisps in Thailand and they never even remotely tasted like cheese. More like milk. As for cheese at 99 baht a kilo, never happen. Maybe 99 bant for a 200 gram packet. I buy mine in bulk, 2 kilo blocks and it is 360 baht a kilo for very ordinary cheddar.

GinBoy2 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Do any potato chips actually taste of what they claim? Not saying I don't like 'em, but to be honest the flavors they advertise, are a far cry from anything that occurs in nature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
