Farmer Browns Crisps

Farmer Browns should go down in history as being the best crisps ever. I loved them.

Yes I remember these the crisps were were of quite a thin crispy substance or was that Piglet crisps? the Song went "Farmer Brown you've got a munch snack ther.. OOH ARR, there's lots on munch snacks for me and you" then a little banjo tune after, people I ask never remember it either, I don't think they were on the market for a long time that might be why

They were in a sky blue packet, at least the salt and vinegar were, they were slightly cheaper than other crisps but then the packet was half the size of monster munch,the texture was a cross between ringos and footballs,quality

Spelling mistake, it was Mr George Quinn, he was originally from Laurelvale, Portadown and was involved with Tayto at the start but he left to start up Taste-Rite foods which went under the name of Farmer Brown crisps. The prawn cocktail was my favourite. The factory was in Shaerf Drive, Lurgan, Co. Armagh.

LOL, pig shaped, that is brilliant. I worked for Farmer Brown crisps for 14 yrs and it was going well until George Qinn the owner died of a heart attack. Unfortunately after that it run down badly because mainly from bad management and because of an economic down turn at that time. The main frying pan needed replaced and the company did not have the money to replace it. The firm never actually went bust George son, Paul, closed the doors one Friday and never opened them again. It was sad because if George would have been alive , Farmer Brown Crisps would still on the shelves. They made an assortment of crisps but there biggest sellers at the end were Loops, Frites, Barbeque Curls and Cheese Curls.

Oh my god - very sadly we have been talking about things we miss as kids as I remember Farmer Browns - salt and vinegar - and the theme to the advertisements. First nobody can remember these but me, secondly, I cant believe there is a forum on this!! :) Richard
