Burton's Potato Puffs

Potato Puffs were a sort of crisp manufactured by Burton Biscuits. The came in varieties of Ready Salted, Cheese and Onion and Salt and Vinegar. I'm sure that they have gone out of production now but who knows... if enough people remember them and still want them, there could be a Potato Puff revival! You have missed out the best one of all, tomato sauce flavour. Great taste and red fingers lol, ate them every day from 1959 to 1963.

    I remember potato puffs from the 60's, but I am sure they were by Nabisco. I used to get them from the Tuck Shop at school, the only place I ever saw them. They were so good.

    These were SO nice they were addictive! Especially beef flavour ones after swimming. Got some good & bad news. YOU CAN STILL GET THEM! However, they are no longer the lovely ones made by Burtons. Off the top of my head I think they are made by a company called Windmill(?) BUT THEY DON'T TASTE ANYWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS THE BURTON ONES. Such a shame. Get them in places like markets & pound shops now but be prepared...

    Burtons closed a couple of their factories, including the one which manufactured the crisps and snacks.Apparently it cost too much to produce the crisps and snacks so they now concentrate on their biscuit range, If you liked the beef ones, crushed up t-bone steak roysters are the nearest I could get to them!

    If any potato puff lovers have a website of their own, why not start a petition to have Burtons manufacture them again? I loved the ready salted & would certainly sign any petition for their return.
