Bitter And Twisted - Guy McCoy Torme

They're McCoys and they're twisted

Advantages: Tasty
Disadvantages: Fattening

I?m a bit of a crispoholic and enjoy a bag of McCoys crisps at the best of times, but when I saw these McCoys Twisted I just had to give them a try. I plumped for the Salt and Vinegar with a Chilli Twist since salt and vinegar are by far my favourite flavour. Like all McCoys these crisps are thick crinkle cut crisps or ridged as they like to call them. They?ve been described in the past as a ?man?s crisp? because they are so much thicker than ordinary crisps (is that akin to saying that men are thicker? I?ll leave you to decide that one!) . Boring stuff out of the way first, they come in large 50g bags, so there are 260 calories a bag and there?s 15.2g of fat in the bag, but as I?ve said before, no one eats crisps of any kind and expects them to be good for you. The crisps are nice and crunchy despite being thicker than most ...

Review of United Biscuits McCoy's Twisted Crisps

McCoy's Salt & Malt Vinegar

Advantages: Delicious!
Disadvantages: Quite a few calories!

There's salt and vinegar crisps...and then there's McCoy's Salt & Malt Vinegar. Accept no imitation. The Pringle is of course, addictive. The Walker is of course an old favourite. But the McCoy is the 'man crisp'... The familiar ridged style crisp is a favourite with pub snacks, but more and more they are becoming a household favourite...especially if I've anything to do with it!! The glossy silver and blue packaging is eye-catching, but as you'd expect, they're not the 'healthiest' of crisps...if such a thing exists!! At 164 calories for each 32 gram bag, there are certainly salt and vinegar crisps out there which can be deemed better for you, but few will match McCoy's for flavour. When biting into one of the thick cut crisps, the sharp vinegar flavour can really test your tastebuds. Combined with the salt it's flavour that ...

Review of McCoys Ridge Cut Salt and Malt Vinegar

* The Real McCoys *

Advantages: Great Flavour , Good Price
Disadvantages: None

On a recent shopping trip to Sainsburys, I was feeling rather peckish and therefore I was looking for something that I could eat on the way home. As I searched the 'crisps' aisle , my eyes were snatched by an 'offer' sign. "2 for £1.50" it read , I looked at the item and saw that it was 'MCcoys crisps'. Into the trolley they went. I have also loved McCoys crisps , however it is not often that we buy them as we usually opt for our usual ; Walkers. Now I have nothing against Walkers Crisps , I love their flavours , especially Prawn Cocktail however I prefer something 'filling' , which is where McCoys come in. Yes Walkers are a good snack , but I happen to find them too light, whereas McCoys are filling enough to satisfy my needs. I took out a packet of McCoys Salt and Vinegar from the large bag. I like the design , I think it is ...
