Platters of crisps and score cards at Brakendon Close's crisp taste test

Tenants at Brakendon Close have recently been pondering some of life's great questions; which crisps are best, in both taste and dippability?

Searching for the answers, Scheme Manager Lorraine - pioneer of the now famous Brakendon Close Taste Test (see also: caterpillar cakes, sausage rolls, yule logs, and cheese!) - recently hosted a "Dippy Crispy With a Cider Sippy" event in the lounge alongside fellow Scheme Manager Sue.
There were platters of 8 different crisps, a variety of dips, slices of bread and butter for those inclined towards a crisp sandwich and of course some fruity ciders to wash it all down.
The winners?
Best taste: Walkers Cheese & Onion
Most dippable: Coop's Sea Salt & Chardonnay Wine Vinegar
Overall winner: Coop's Thai Sweet Chilli Crinkle Cut
