[Food] Crisps in the pub

[jackanada]

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.

The frock and jacket used to have communal peanuts, except the barman never put them on the bar because he hid his bag of pills in there.

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.

Indeed, and having salty nuts is very important in this hot weather

 

[A1X]

Communal if bought as part of a round IMHO

 

[Brighthelmstone]

Remember the stories about the amount of different urine detectable in those peanuts left open on the bar? Yeah, i aint sharing!

I used to frequent the downstairs bar at the Frock & Jacket, was a cocktail bar in the mid to late 80’s as I recall. This pic is 1989

At the end of the said crisp eating exercise, it is also COMPULSORY to roll the empty (fully opened) bracket longways and then tie it into a knot.

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.

This. If I’m out with Mrs GB we get our own favourite snacks as we prefer different things. Out with the gang then snacks are shared.

A particular favourite are the cheese pretzels in the Foghorn. Everyone gets a tear and share bag with their round and my dog gets the scraps at the end.

I think I just heard @Easy 10 barf,

3. Hog them all, other than offering a token crisp to falsely show generosity.

A great place, we went there from about 84 onwards for several years. Second or third on the itinerary which started at Shades, heading eventually to the clubs.

If I’d been eating cheese pretzels when I read that I’d have spat them out.

(Yes, I’m sure spitting out also happens at swingers parties)

Each to their own, sir.

I just went to the shop and got two big bags of crisps and a smaller one which I am eating now.Nothing better.

At a swingers party you'll be given a full spread.

My sister briefly worked in said cocktail bar. It meant teenage me could get rather drunk by her making a bit too much of each cocktail order and topping up my glass after each order.
Unfortunately a somewhat jealous older girl informed the management she was only 16 so it didn't last long.

It wasn’t in the early 80’s was it?

I went out with a girl who worked in that cocktail bar, I picked her out and turned her into someone new. Went out with her for five years but she didn’t want me in the end. Said she didn’t need me and couldn’t believe when I heard she didn’t want to see me again.

She’s quite successful now I heard with the world at her feet, works in Clarks in town.
