Makes it easier to get a cold beer when it is wintry in London. I do hope the weekend demonstrators are afraid of the cold as we are planning on getting to some live shows and last visit we couldn’t always get to the theatre due to the demonstrations.

I percieve something tasting like chicken twisties.

Twisties have a tenuous excuse for introducing other flavours beyond cheese given the product name is open to interpretation. Cheezels on the other hand are very cut and dried in their definition. If they were called “Chickenels” then I could accept it. Maybe…. Probably not.

I grew up with chicken flavoured twisties, I am over 60. The flavour of a chickenel would not be dissimilar. So.nothing new there.
 
If you intend to drink in the sky in economy, far better news =>

Most full-service carriers, including Emirates, Qantas, Qatar, Singapore Airlines and Etihad all provide complimentary beer and wine on international flights. Air France even offers free champagne in all its cabin classes – the label changes every few months, but this January, economy class received Vranken Heidsieck Monopole Silver. I am happier to be in cramped conditions if a full service airline lubricates my knees with champagne. Especially these long trips via NZ to NY, where guess what awaits….

"New York City follows London with congestion charge to tackle traffic" …it would be a mistake not to drink as who wants to be paying those nine US dollars during peak hour? Or get the century old subway into town. I am not keen on subway travel due to recent setting on fire of passengers by certain people who avoided the ESTA totally. Not me - I will be quizzed to death with every single question possible until Sunday next week as to why I am boarding and flying to the USA. A Prof. with PHD might be dangerous. Unique thoughts I wish everyone unique thoughts. ​

I am thinking back a few years but recall a brief unsuccessful foray of Twisties doing a BBQ version. 🤮

(Maybe during Neil P’s apprenticeship…)

I’m reminded of a travel mistake made by my mother in about 1964. She gave me a packet of chicken twistiest before taking me on a very windy road up/down a mountainous road on the NSW Central
coast - I think it might have been to Pearl Beach. Her mistake? No empty ice cream container for the inevitable fluoro yellow vomit that ensued. To this day I cannot abide chicken flavoured anything. Not chicken chips, not chicken twistiest, not even chicken salt 🤢🤢🤢

I’m ok with chicken. It’s just the artificial chicken flavouring that gets me. Another one I can’t manage is Chicken Crimpy Shapes.

Personally, I don't like chicken flavouring. BBQ flavour is also not favoured.

I had a similar experience to you. My food was Rum & Raisin chocolate.
