    Default Bar snacks

    We have all enjoyed the odd bar snack.
    My personal favourite was the cheese triangle, cracker and pickled onion.
    When it comes to crisps I have always been a Walkers fan but I cannot remember these (Murphys)
    Where they a regional thing and if so where?

    They could have been regional, such as Tudor crisps. The beermat looks like it dates from the 1970s?

    The ubiquitous Irish crisp company Tayto was founded by Joe 'Spud' Murphy so I'm sure that he must have been behind this company.

    I certainly remember eating them, but I can't find any trace of involvement of Joe Murphy. I rather suspect it was someone else trying to cash in on his name (and even the potato in a hat logo resembles 'Mr Tayto' somewhat). If so, he probably sued them out of existence.
    They even had a TV advert.

    Meanwhile on the original subject, take look at this lot on Pinterest!
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement

    I went to a micropub some years ago, and it was in fact this one where they had run out of Naga Chilli pork scratchings which I was told were produced by a local butcher. For the uninitiated the Naga Chilli is one that makes the Scotch Bonnet (or West Indian Hot Pepper as I've always known it) seem like a pimento. I really ought to go back!

    I remember Tudor crisps from when I was a lad .Somewhere between1965 and 1970.Loved them but assumed they were Scottish crisps.Obviously I was a lad for more years than 65-70.

    That's a lot of calories.
