Zapp's - Spicy Cajun Crewtators

Found in Nawlins.


Daaaamn these have some SERIOUS crunch!!! A great kettle, thick with gnashing goodness.

The spicy Cajun flavour is just perfect. I sampled many a chilli sauce when in Louisiana and these live up to those standards, a great tang and a deep heat that doesn't overly burn or bring a tear to the eye but leaves a great paprika flavour in your crisp hole.

Another Zapp's from New Orleans and yet again I'm majorly impressed.

These are a limited but very welcome edition to the range. An intense onion flavouring with a really nice sweetness to it that is in no way sickly (that's hard to pull off).

Again - a perfect crunch and i'm really digging Zapp's. I'd go as far as to say that Zapp's are one of my favourite brands of US crispmakers!

Party! Party! Not so much of a party in my mouth unfortunately... The flavour is actually really rather good. A nice tangy paprika, the crisp is thin but has a good crunch.


Their slogan sure is a punchy one!

'Crack a bite & feel the vibe; rock it, jazz it, pop it - daytime or night, uptown or down - Urban Bites is the way to sway' 


I can just hear the kids singing it in unison through the streets now...

While I didn't come any alligators on my wintery trip to New Orleans... I did come across some pretty amazing Gator-gators! These are super crunchy potato crisps with an amazing intense dill flavouring. 

Exactly as I was hoping from these. Wickedly tangy & sour.

Excellent little roadside snack find.

Tretter's - Beetroot & Celeriac

Beetroot and celeriac crisps with balsamic

Found in Prague airport, when despite having eaten a despicable number of cinnamon rolls during the course of the weekend, I still needed a little somethin-somethin. (I bow down to anyone who can smell an authentic cinnamon roll and not want one).

Have you ever had a celeriac crisp? Did you even know they existed? Me neither. So I was pretty excited at the prospect of trying a new vegetable crisped up for my pleasure. 

Only, they weren't very crisp. 

As can sometimes happen with those tricksy root vegetables, attempts to create crisps fall a little short and you end up with a slightly soft, soggy snack. Still the taste was of a slightly sweet celeriac, which coupled with a reliably sweet beet and a tangy balsamic, was altogether rather nice. You just couldn't eat too many - that once you pop you just can't stop crunch was simply lacking.

Zapp's - Voodoo

Found in New Orleans...


“I put a spell on you, cos you’re mine…” I’m not sure if Screamin’ Jay Hawkins was referring to Voodoo Kettle crisps or the crisps to Screamin’ Jay, either way, this hoodoo paraphernalia has me under its spell.

There was no inkling to what the flavour might be (oh the mystery) but on first taste they were utterly hypnotic. Strong full tomato flavour with notes of sweet BBQ, chilli and dragons breathe. Not quite slap yo mama hot, but getting there. 

What we have here folks is some Voodoo papillae dark magic.
