Just over half an hour to go and I can have a packet of crisps! Gave them up for Lent as they are my weakness but, contrary to popular belief, they can't be that bad for you as I haven't lost an ounce!
I once knew a priest, who later became a suffragan bishop, an inveterate chain-smoker who always gave up the cigs for Lent. After the first Eucharist of Easter Sunday he was as high as a kite!
When you say crisps what does that include pips, I had a friend who gave up crisps for Lent but ate mini cheddars, doritos and any other crisp-y snack that wasn't made of potatoes I thought she was cheating!
If she had normal cheddars then yes they are biscuits, mini cheddars (in my opinion) are a crisp replacement and as such should be given up during Lent (if the idea is to stop eating crisps), I'm not so sure where I stand on Snack a Jacks!
Will let you off a couple pips lol, to be honest it was the Doritos that I was really insistent on; how anyone can say they're not included in the crisp category is beyond me!
