A cheaper and less robust alternative to Doritos, these are fine as party or barbecue fodder but they tend to snap too readily when used to scoop up salsa. Please note the cost and responsibility of returning non faulty or unwanted goods will also be the responsibility of the customer and there may be a collection charge for any items returned. A standard salt and vinegar option that might be preferred by some vegans to Walkers (which, as mentioned, are made in a factory that handles milk). Whether you love it or hate it, there is no doubt that Marmite is something of a wonder food for vegans because it contains much-needed B vitamins that are not present in many vegan foods. Nostalgia plays a huge part in our perceptions of deliciousness. So, while I can’t help but feel that to try and do anything too much to a crisp sandwich would be, well, too much, here I have been inspired by one of the simplest, most delicious plates of food I have ever had.

Oven Baked Sour Cream & Chive– Contains various milk products, including cream powder and buttermilk Note: The crisps in this article we identify are vegan do not contain any animals ingredients based on the best information at the time of writing. As ever, information is subject to change. In addition, some may have been manufactured in factories that handle milk or other animal products. Vegan-Friendly Crisps by Brand The Chilli Heatwave chip ramps up the spice a little but they are by no means tongue-sizzlingly hot, especially if coupled with a mild salsa. Another very nice crisp from the Finest range, and again a decent value alternative to some of the branded options.

With a little less salt than the standard Ready Salted crisps, these will appeal to those who care about such things. They taste pretty similar. For my crisp sandwich combo here, I’m using Walkers MAX Flame Grilled Steak Flavour for some Memphis inspired meatiness. For the “mac ‘n’ cheese”, I’m sprinkling in some Walkers Cheese Flavour Quavers and Cheese Flavour Bugles. If I wasn’t such a crisp sandwich purist, I might put some jalapenos in this sandwich too and I might even consider hot sauce… BBQ Pulled Pork– Alas, these do contain pigs in the form of ‘pork powder’; interestingly, this is the only Walkers ‘core’ flavour that is unsuitable for vegetarians The Deli flavours that are vegan friendly are: Mediterranean Balsamic Vinegar, Roasted Garlic & Mediterranean Herbs (Pita Chips), and Anglesey Sea Salt.

For a basic tortilla chip with good dipping strength and no overpowering flavours, you could do a lot worse than the Lightly Salted Doritos option. Wotsits– It should come as no massive surprise that the famously cheesy Wotsits contain ingredients derived from milk and so are not veganFor novelty value, crisps that are square do give a few seconds of entertainment, but they are not particularly satisfying beyond that. The Salt & Vinegar Squares and the Ready Salted Squares are vegan friendly. As Walkers are the best-selling crisp brand in the UK (based on the most recent figures in 2019 provided by Nielsen), we have decided to make things simple and also include the crisps they offer that are not vegan. Max Sizzling Flame Grilled Steak– Butter extract and dried milk whey are the problems here with no steaks to be found amongst the ingredients Both the Lightly Salted and the Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar flavoured Veg Chips are fine for vegans. One of the better value alternative to KP Skips (which apparently may contain milk or egg based on the potential of cross-contamination), this option from Waitrose will satisfy many crisp fiends who used to love their Skips.

These parsnip, sweet potato and beetroots crisps offer a decent alternative to the higher end (and higher priced!) veg crisp options, such as those from Tyrells. With a worryingly addictive taste-crunch combo, the Original Pringles are a solid addition to any party or vegan barbecue. Flavoursome and light, these popped chips compare well to others in the genre, especially on price. Max Fiery Peri-Peri– Contains lactose and whey powder from milk, annoyingly as these look darn tasty! Now the food arm of the John Lewis Partnership, Waitrose & Partners actually began life in 1904 as a small grocery store in Acton, in west London. Opening its first supermarkets in the mid-1950s, Waitrose gained a reputation for high quality produce and one that caters particularly to higher end customers (it even has a royal warrant from the Queen and Prince Charles!).

More recipe inspiration

Lighter and with less fat than the conventional Walkers crisps, the Oven Baked range take some getting used to for crisp fiends, but they are worth the effort.

Here are the vegan-friendly flavours in the range: Sun Ripened Sweet Chilli, and Lightly Sea Salted. Loved by kids (and adults) who can’t resist putting a Hoop on each of their fingers before scoffing them, both the Original and the Salt & Vinegar flavours are vegan friendly. Tomato Ketchup– This will come as a blow to many vegans… the Tomato Ketchup flavour crisps from Walkers contain dried milk wheyWalkers fans have plenty to go on based on the above table of vegan-friendly Walkers crisps (assuming the vegans in question are fine with milk products being handled in the same factory). To be on the safe side, and for those who are interested, here are the main Walkers crisps that are not vegan based on the inclusion of animal-derived ingredients.

Available at the time of writing in two flavours (Beetroot with Sweet Chilli Jam, or Sweet Potato with Paprika), these have significantly less fat than other options in the veg crisp niche (for example, the Beetroot and Sweet Chilli Jam crisps have 14g of fat per 100g, compared to around 32g of fat per 100g of the Tyrells Mixed Root Vegetable Crisps. These aren’t quite as nice though! Are poppadoms crisps? Well, Sainsbury’s think so, and the mini ones they produce are vegan friendly, so that’ll do for us.
