Chris Smith @chrissamsdad.eurosky.social · 15/10/2026Brett's crisps (from round our way in Brittany) are, in fact, the best. The butter flavour ones are classic with no pretentions (taste like baked potato with a huge knob of butter melted on it) but their tartiflette, fromage du Jura and Falafel flavours respectively are also fantastic. 010 1

Chris Smith @chrissamsdad.eurosky.social · 15/10/2026What's even worse with borders '9 in a packet' is it makes it more difficult to split between 2 of you, or 4. Twelve should be the default then if there's 2,3,4 or 6 of you it's easy. Okay, maybe 60 would make more sense. 2130 13
