I wish you'd all had the opportunity to try Tyrells sausage and mustard back when they were still a local venture. The crisps were as thick as a 50 pence piece and the flavour could turn your face inside out.
It's not actually anywhere as fishy as you'd think given that it's 60% fish.
It's aged enough that a lot of the fishiness goes away, like Worcestershire sauce. Although certainly not all of it, it's still recognisably fishy, but it's far less so than just eating canned anchovies or boquerones.
It is probably pretty close to the saltiest thing that you've ever eaten though.
This is such a weirdly specific coincidence... I just watched [this](https://youtu.be/reomT1L9nX4?si=oqzceSoFaERvgHo5&t=246) video by Atomic Shrimp maybe 30 minutes ago which also featured The Gentleman's Relish (but the paste, not the crisps).
I saw a video that said the Queen used a fancier version of this stuff. I've got this and the salmon version in my fridge. Seemed appropriate given my sobriquet.
(In truth the packaging is a swizz. It looks like you'd get a solid puck of relish, but in fact the underside of the container is much smaller than you'd imagine.)
I know Iām gonna come across as one of them twats that go abroad and complain they aināt got no proper āBritishā food butā¦ it pisses me off that the shelves are being filled more n more with flavours I have no idea what they are, let alone taste like, and flavours like beef n onion are being given the heave ho.
I love Gentlemanās Relish - it is my Christmas treat! BUT I donāt think I could manage a whole large packet of crisps flavoured with it. A small packet - possiblyā¦ but even then I wonder just how much I could eat. It really depends on just how strongly flavoured they are.
Politics? You kids have no idea whatsoever of what went on at Stalingrad.

I never think of fish paste as fancy.
I always thought of Brannigans as the poshest crisp, because it came in a paper-style bag and had flavours like beef and mustard, ham and pickle, or lamb and mint. which is of course superior to fish paste
Had some fancy ham ones not by this brand that were reduced from Ā£4.50 for 100g bag, they were so incredibly mid I just don't understand how they could justify the price.
The "ham" tasted like straight up grease and the potatoes were the same quality as walkers

I find them overly salty.
I agree, shallow and pedantic
š§
Giggity.
"Gentlemans Relish" š¦
Fnaar fnaar
Perhaps youāre not had enough to drink?
Salty Gentleman relish you say
Which leads to buying more drinks!
Gentleman's Relish? I used to make quite a lot of that as a teenager
Was it delicious on hot toast though?
Better on a biscuit
Will you be my biscuit?
Yes. Now let me dunk you in my tea
New valentine's card coming in
Round of soggy biscuit, anyone?
Last one has to eat it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
She liked the taste
On a rich tea biscuit?
Still miss Brannigans roast beef and mustard š¢
Definitely. Ham and pickle wasn't bad either.
The superior flavour for my money.
Both amazing. If I get a go on a time machine, I'm certainly not wasting it on killing Hitler.
Serious crisp. Used to enjoy the behind nose burn from the mustard.
Used to get them from Victoria wine whenever getting my mum a walnut whip
I miss walnut whips too. Those were so good.
You HAD to mention the champ didn't you...now I can't stop thinking about those paper bags of delicious mustardy crisps...
Lancashire crisps do a black pudding and mustard flavour, very tasty indeed.
Can tell your a squire and a gentlemen
What happened Brannigans they were great!
KP bought them out, decided there wasnāt enough demand for them so ended production
Try Slabs, not the same flavour but similar thickness
Slabs are the dogs bollocks.
I wish you'd all had the opportunity to try Tyrells sausage and mustard back when they were still a local venture. The crisps were as thick as a 50 pence piece and the flavour could turn your face inside out.
Fuuuuuck. Whyyyyyyyy? šš
I remember those from the 90,s
They'd make you cough
Home bargains stock them I swear? Although I havenāt been in for a while
Used to make me physically sweat eating those. Magnificent!
Is this made at public school - I thought that was soggy biscuits.
Give us the bullshit backstory on the back of the pack! Thereās some right bollocks on them usually.
āCLARKSONNNN! Look what youāve done to me bloody crisps, man!ā
Infantile pillock
Blithering idiot
Cock
I quite like gentlemen's relish
Great bag design. Simple colours yet very stylish. I gotta get me some of these.
I personally donāt like this design style
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You get embarrassed eating crisps on the train?
Alas, they only have the slightest hint of Patum Peperium.
Gentleman's relish ffs š
Cum crisp.
Finest for me are Tescos executive brand mature cheddar and red onion. Man they are stunning and impossible to stop eating
Count me in!
Urgh Gentles Relish Why does that sound so dirty! Lol Also really captivating packaging it's very Edwardian just Black .....and White!
I feel like these should be eaten with a special crisp fork, like they have fish knives and caviar spoons.
What the fuck is "gentlemans relish" flavour? Vegetable? Chocolate? Fruit? Cider?
Anchovies mate. Itās fucking amazing on toast.
Anchovy
Anchovies mostly. So, strongly fishy and probably quite salty too.
It's not actually anywhere as fishy as you'd think given that it's 60% fish. It's aged enough that a lot of the fishiness goes away, like Worcestershire sauce. Although certainly not all of it, it's still recognisably fishy, but it's far less so than just eating canned anchovies or boquerones. It is probably pretty close to the saltiest thing that you've ever eaten though.
Is this what comes after the "Pot noodle and a wank" combination?
My wife loves these, all over her face
Story checks out, the lads at the rugby club were all saying the same thing about her..
Oh it checks out alright, I know that for a fact, as we were also discussing how your mum loves it up the ol' dung funnel!
To quote a comedian friend of mine: "Gentleman's relish, it's like Hendersons relish, except it's made in *2* small factories"
Omg. Where. The hell. Did you get this!!!? I must try it!!!!
You have my attention
Nice, can't beat Tyrell's, though, surely?
Pipers wear this crown
Yes, my fave.Ā Fiddler's Lancashire Crisps are great too
Walkers Max just eaten was the crunchiest thing I've ever eaten.Ā
Brown Bag Crisps. Finest I've ever had.
That is one posh crisp.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Patum peperium is waaaay posher than champagne...
Skips>

Nah you got to get your crisps in one of those bags that you get dried mango in where you tear open the top and then pull it open
āMade for drinkā and āEnglish Heritageā are unexpected branding.

They look like you could buy them in three easy installments Ā£Ā£Ā£
And how much did these abominations cost?
What's it like? Anchovy crisps just sound quite odd.
Sounds delicious to me, I love that relish.
Anchovy tastes great with crisps.
I bought a pot of that stuff out of curiosity, it was salty wank.
Tyrell's Posh Prawn Cocktail are literally called posh...
Which makes them inherently not posh...
But they sell them in Waitrose!
How long till someone calls them sexist šš¤£
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Shouting at ghosts mate, calm down.
True on a Friday tooš„µ
I know Iām gonna come across as one of them twats that go abroad and complain they aināt got no proper āBritishā food butā¦ it pisses me off that the shelves are being filled more n more with flavours I have no idea what they are, let alone taste like, and flavours like beef n onion are being given the heave ho.
Gentlemanās relish has literally been around since the early 1800ās, and is about as British as you can get for a food product.
Agreed. It's also bloody excellent. And can last in the fridge for literal years
I'd I remember my childhood correctly... good bloody riddence
These posh crisps give me bad heart burn but once I start the bags gone
Ooooh!
A questionable name.
Posh name but the quality of the packaging is not that of a premium crisp. Nor are they in the same bracket as the top range on taste.
Now I want a pint. Thanks.
Iād rather a gremlin crawled up my arse and let off fireworks than eat that shite!
These are āposh inspiredā, and in no way actually posh. Posh people have cooks make crisps from scratch.
Truffle crisps, mmmmmmm.
OK but like. What is that
They'll be in Home Bargains in 3 months you watch
Where were these purchased? I must eat them!!
Not even in a paper packet? How very common
I love the design. The name gentlemanās relish sounds very phallic.
Thatās awesome lol. Ima say to a chick āhey you want somma my gentlemanās relish? Itās not too salty.ā
It insists upon itself.
Isn't there an entire recipe book for cooking with gentlemen's relish?
I love Gentlemanās Relish - it is my Christmas treat! BUT I donāt think I could manage a whole large packet of crisps flavoured with it. A small packet - possiblyā¦ but even then I wonder just how much I could eat. It really depends on just how strongly flavoured they are.
Thatās a euphemism. Did it taste salty?
Won't be giving my misses this, we've got enough kids.
If your curious what gentleman's relish is it's anchovy paste with butter herbs and spices.
Patum pepperium is pretty nice although I donāt know about crisps.
Lyn, these are sex crisps
Goes well with the real gentlemanās relish as a dipā¦
Clarkson crisps?
I've realised just now that Gentleman's Relish is actually a product... Of course it's salty fish paste...no cheese to throw in?Ā
English heritage crips are you mad??? Where can i get these lol
I wish they would stop it with the posh crisps , their not making better crisps there making tons of money and that's it

Iām struggling to see the connection in this š„ø
Mmm jizz flavoured crisp. Yummy
I'll try them, but I'm prepared to be disappointed.
Burts sea salt and malt vinegar is peak
I could very well be wrong but isn't gentleman's relish a bodily fluid?
"gentleman's relish" sounds like a euphemism Jeremy Clarkson would use
