Being what I consider, an expert on baked and fried savoury snacks, I felt it was my duty to review these bacon flavour fries.First off, I placed the order for them on a sunday afternoon, and they were delivered late monday, which I have to say is an excellent service, so two thumbs up to Amazon for that.Getting down to the nitty gritty, and why you're here, the snacks themselves.I first tried these snacks many years ago, back when I was a young man, and still went to the pub on weekends with friends. Being the ancient person I am now, and also having no friends, I no longer go to the pub and therefore, haven't had the opportunity to have these for many many years.One day, whilst perusing Amazon, these bacon fries popped into my head, and I wondered...just...wondered...if I could buy them on here and re-live my old days of care-free drinking, laughter and bacon snacking.Imagine my joy when I discovered I could buy not just one bag, but an entire cardboard thing covered in 24 bags! I bought them immediately.Upon receiving them, I immediately placed the cardboard dispenser on a nail in my wall in the kicthen - the nail was already there when I moved into the house. I can only imagine it once allowed a photo or perhaps a painting to hang proudly, displaying either a delightful joyous family scene, or perhaps a very distasteful picture of dogs playing poker. Who knows. Not I.Anyway, they were now in a prime position for me to fill up a glass of flavoured water ( I do not drink anymore, gave that up years ago due to going from sober, straight to vomitting - there was never a good inbetween part for me)and then grab one of the bags from its cardboard captor and then head off to my front room to sit there in silence on my own.When opening the bag, the bacony aroma coming from the bag immediately whisked me back to the early 1990's. I was 21 again, standing in the pub chatting with "the lads" pretending to know what they were going on about whilst discussing football, laughing at the crude jokes and constantly looking at my watch wondering why its been 10pm for what feels like 4 hours and how I wish I could just go home. "I'm off to get some crisps" I'd say, "anyone want something" ?"I'll have a pint""Me too""and me"great. I was offering a bag of crisps, not an entire pint of beer, and I assume that means we're not leaving anytime soon!But anyway, I'd get myself some bacon flavour fries and not offer one to anybody. I offered them snacks and they wanted beer, so tough, you're not getting one of my crisps.And I recall I would thoroughly enjoy my bacon fries, and then wish I had bought two bags rather than one.Once I had finished them, drunk the rest of my pint, and the guys I was with had got through the 3 more pints they'd bought in that time, it would be time to go home. The best part of the night for me! Until those immortal words would be uttered: "shall we go to a club?".It would be at this point I'd wish the ground would just open up and swallow me. "No, I'm not into that, you guys go, I'm going to get off home I think."No you have to come, there'll be loads of birds there".Yes - the word "birds" was used. Hey come on, we were young and it was the early 90's. We weren't as enlightened then as we are now.I would protest, tell them I'm not keen, and that they should go and I'll just get a cab home. I wouldn't. I couldn't afford to do that on my own, I'd end up walking miles home on my own. It's a wonder I didn't get mugged one of those nights.Honestly, I never liked going to these clubs. I'd get in there, stand in the corner with my 4 pound bottle of Sol with a small wedge of lime in the top and look at everyone dancing, people meeting possible new lovers, and all the while I'm thinking "I wish I had the courage to talk to that lady over there". I never did though, hence my desire to get home rather than put myself through that torture.I'm getting a little side-tracked here. We're talking bacon fries aren't we.So I'd opened the bag, the bacony whiff took me back to my youth and when eating one for the first time in such a long time, I remembered instantly why I like them so much. Such a strong delicious flavour, and the texture of them - so crunchy, just perfect!!I devoured the whole bag in seconds - one drawback of these, the bags are very small indeed. The same sort of size as the Mr Porky Pork Scratchings bags, which are tiny little things. But these are better than pork scratchings because you don't need to be drunk to enjoy them.So, I whole-heartedly recommend these to anyone at all. And I say anyone - even vegatarians! The bag states "suitable for vegetarians" so I'm assuming that delicious bacon flavour was synthesised in a lab somewhere and contains no meat products whatsoever. Not sure why it doesn't say they're suitable for vegans too, but I'm not a very clever person and don't know exactly what vegans can and can't eat.So to sum up:Small bagsDeliciously baconyQuite reasonably priced I think.Don't go to clubs in the 1990's.

Smiths Scampi Fries should come with a warning label: "May cause instant addiction." These little nuggets of crispy, tangy goodness are so delicious that once you pop a pack open, there’s no going back. Seriously, forget willpower—these fries will take control of your taste buds and have you reaching for more before you even realize it.The flavor is like a savory explosion in your mouth, a perfect blend of scampi and lemony zestiness that dances on your tongue. They’re crunchy, they’re salty, and they’re absolutely irresistible. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started putting these in casinos to keep people at the slots longer.But be warned, once your friends and family catch a whiff, you’ll be fighting them off with a stick just to keep a pack for yourself. If you value your snack privacy, you might want to hide these somewhere only you know about (like inside a healthy snack box—no one will look there).In short, Smiths Scampi Fries are dangerously delicious. Stock up, but proceed with caution—you’ll never look at other snacks the same way again!

Great flavour always been one of my favourite snacks only problem is I need more ... I could very happily have a card with twice the bags on ...

Excellent tasty product and good price. Shame one packet missing from card

These Smiths Bacon Fries have always been a favourite of mine, but they are not easy to find in stores. They are a healthy, tasty snack that arrived quickly and in great condition - not crushed at all as they were well packaged.

very good thankyou

We love the flavour of scampi fries, its good to buy them via Amazon Prime as they get delivered quickly and it gives you a great reason to get 24 packets at once. Ours were nice and fresh and well within date. I say 'were' because we have polished them off with unseemly haste such is our liking for these little flavour bombs. These are a great pub snack although oddly sometimes people will frown upon their purchase in a pub (sheer jealousy!)So why not indulge in this guilty pleasure at home, and its much cheaper!.
