[Food] Crisps in the pub

[BadFish]

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.

I think we should all try this and report back on the response from our fellow pub goers. would they swallow down their inner rage and silently seethe or would that sarcasm flow 'your okay there?' 'enjoying those?' etc.

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).

You know you and your mates down have to feed each other?

 

[banjo]

Nuts!!!

If it's just my wife and I we have a bag each (Twiglets for me, Cheese and Onion crisps for her). If we're with friends it's always communal.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Communal share, chuck in a bag of nuts for good measure.
You gotta get salted thou, so everyone one who tucks in gets thirsty and then gets the round in.

Nuts,crisp should be open and communal, English tapas.

Agreed. My paranoia goes back to the days when pubs had communal bowls of peanuts and even roast potatoes on the bar. Once the dirty fingernails have been seen, they can’t be unseen again.

Is it telling you will share things with your friends but not your wife?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Plain, salt 'n vinegar, or cheese and onion.

Anything else can do one.

 

[halbpro]

Tear and share unless I'm absolutely STARVING

No. She doesn't like Twiglets, and I'm not that fond of Cheese 'n' Onion crisps. (Except Pringles obvs.)

 

[The Clamp]

Tear and share. They cost a few quid. Who cares!

 

[Easy 10]

You know you and your mates down have to feed each other?

Yes. But their fingers are still touching the communal crisps. Sometimes I notice them LICKING their fingers between raids.

Ugh. Nay. Nay. And thrice nay.

There is no way I’m tearing a bag open to share, I do ask others I’m with if they want a bag before I go to the bar though.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Reminds me of this.

 

[HangletonGull]

Real big bear of mine sharing food my food get off

 

[Papak]

Reminds me of this.

Came here to post this!!

 

[Eeyore]

I'm not sure where this communal sharing came from. If I buy a packet of crisps in a pub, I'd buy it for myself. Get your bloody own.

 

[Papak]

No. She doesn't like Twiglets, and I'm not that fond of Cheese 'n' Onion crisps. (Except Pringles obvs.)

Yet we all know Pringles aren't crisps, they are reconstituted potato (42%) with flavourings.

Why anyone buys snacks in a pub is beyond me.
