Paqui - Haunted Ghost Pepper

Here we have Paqui - Haunted Ghost Pepper, all the way from Austen, Texas.

Ghost pepper is widely regarded as one of the hottest chilli peppers in existence, something I'm not taking lightly with the prospect of putting them in my mouth. I have a glass of milk at the ready.

The diagram on the back tells us these are not just kinda hot, hot, super hot but "freakin hot".

​The things I do for the love of crisp nation..

The crisp looks like a nice, rustic, crunchy tortilla chip and unusually for american chilli flavours - the flavouring on the crisp doesn't look toxic (deceiving?) My eyes have watered, my nostrils are burning and my chest emits a hefty cough - they weren't kidding, but I go in for another all the same. It feels like if there were ever a virus of some kind inside a human - this would the tonic to ridding it. It's explosive. Saying that i haven't lost all taste sensations so it's a worthwhile hit. This adventurous taste reveller battles on.. I mean these are not for the weak of heart but the flavour is actually pretty good should you venture that far. I've had a good few mouthfuls and it's time for the milk as my vision starts to blur. I dip my tongue into the glass and leave it there, bathing in the cooling milk hoping it'll be over. MILK WAS A BAD CHOICE. Yoghurt has been thrust into my shaking hands.. yes! Yoghurt is king. It's totally worked! Wow.. Oh no I've done something bad, very bad - I've poked my eye with a crisp covered finger.. the pain is real, my face is under a tap washing out my swollen eye.. It's over. It was worth it.

Batman Snacks - Pepper

THE BATMAN! 

These Batman themed crisps were found in Ethiopia! Not sure how official they are.. 

The pack is a novelty, what's inside them are... really frickin awful i'm afraid. From the outside I thought they might be in the realm of wotsits or similar, but in fact they are white puffs not too dissimilar to polystyrene packaging, with a covering of bright pink flavouring on top. NOTHING about these look natural and like something a human should be consuming, but hey my pain is your gain!

There's a pepper-chilli hit in there, and some sweeter colouring, apart from that they taste like chemical. DON'T GO NEAR THESE.

Woolworths - Chutney Naks

23/3/2020

Found in South Africa. In a Woolworths! Which in the UK is a distant memory of penny sweets and DVDs, but in South Africa is more similar to M&S.


Here we have a packet of their own brand crisps and boy am I glad I picked them up- a chutney flavoured nik-nak is essentially heaven.


The classic Big Crunch of nik-naks that we know well in the UK is present here, and the sweet tangy chutney that is worshipped here really does hit the spot. The perfect mix of sweetness and tangyness. 


These are seriously addictive.
