[Food] Crisps in the pub

[Bozza]

How do you do yours?

I hate it when someone has the temerity to tear bags open (especially when you've paid for
them). At least ask.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Communal tear open but make sure I get the lion's share

 

[Brian Fantana]

It’s a tough one. Within our group there’s a general sense of when crisps are required. Whoever is buying the next round then tends to come back with a few packets that are then torn open for group consumption.

Tear the bag open and share, but hold a lifelong bitter grudge if they dont also buy crisps & do the same when its their round.

 

[Bozza]

Inspired by this American chap, who was discussed on the 5Live breakfast show.

 

[Stat Brother]

Either/or

 

[Chicken Run]

Always a communal tear and share, once when I was feeling mischievous and it was my turn to provide the crisps as part of my round I came back with 5 pax of those pub pork scratchings…..

This. The big question surely is at which round are the crisps required?
In my poor yoof days of no money I remember never buying the first round, everyone's drinking. But shout the second as some haven't finished. But not the third, crisps required.
Made up for it now, always shout the first.

I can't remember the last time I didn't tear it open communally. Probably when I was a grabby teenager.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Always open the packet for the wife upside down so she has to sit with an upside down bag, sort of amuses me.

Sharing is caring...but never tear open another mans bag of crisps without asking thats just poor form

 

[Hotchilidog]

Communal tear ALWAYS!

 

[Taybha]

Considering there's usually about 5 proper Crisp sized Crisps in a bag nowadays it's best to keep a very small circle of friends, actually being Billy no mates does have its advantages sometimes.

 

[worthingweird]

Take your own blackpepper M and S in with you...

 

[Algernon]

I heard this on the radio this morning.
Blooming gullible Americans talking about Community.
And.
My crisps are mine.
Get your own.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

We used to spoof as youngsters - loser buys

[Easy 10]

I am NOT a sharer. I won't tear open the bag, neither will I partake in a communal torn bag. I just don't trust that my mates haven't pissed all over their fingers, or been picking their noses.

I've never taken a mint from a bowl on a reception desk for exactly the same reason (unless they're wrapped).

 

[Bold Seagull]

You either buy everyone at the table a bag each, or it's communal. Returning with a single bag and just eating them to yourself - it's unbecoming and untrustworthy.
