Hawaiian - Mango Habanero

30/9/2013

Found in Hollywood.

Damn! These babies are hot! but sooooo good.

Excellent kettle style crisps, with a hard crunch and good thickness. A good amount of oil without being too greasy.

Flavouring is extreme and extremely tasty. Mango is nice and sweet, which is separate from the very hot habanero. They are burning me, but the pack is going quickly. It's a good burn with a sweet aftertaste. Such a great mixture of flavours. 

For people who like their spice - RECOMMENDED. 8/10.

Late July - Sweet Potato

Nice name, boring crisp.

Found in LA, California.

Probably really great for dipping, but otherwise a pretty dull flavour. The Sweetness of the potato is pretty subtle and there's only the tiniest bit of salt on them.

Without a dip: 3/10, with might take it up to a 6/10

Found in San Diego, California.

mmmmmm!!!!!! These are amaaaazing! Haven't had a crisp shock me for a while now. Whale Tails are the real deal.

Awesome corn tortilla chips shaped like.... you guessed it, Whale Tails! Hawaiian Barbeque flavouring is perfect. Sweet sun ripened mango, full on tomatoes and a rich paprika to fill it out. They're much more sweet than salt, and probably have a good amount of sugar in them. Crunch is hearty and the packaging is fun. 

Oh and they're gluten free, non GMO and kosher.. what more could you want?

9.5/10

Pringles - Pizza

Found in Boston, USA.

Forty percent more pizza-licious!!!??

I have to admit that I struggle not to to feel a little bit sick when eating pringles that aren't the standard original flavouring. They really overdo the flavourings and are pretty trashy/sickly.

The creamy-tomatoey flavouring works well, although the salt content is pretty damn high and the flavouring is heavily concentrated onto one side of the crisps, meaning one side is extreme and the other plain crisp. Obviously the pringle machines have been slacking in quality control.

That said, they're a fun novelty - but eat the whole pack and you WILL be sick.

Salsitas - Spicy Salsa

Mmm! Tasty dipping apparatus found in Boston.

A great corn crunch with a perfect thickness. The flavouring is exactly what you want from a salsa, a fresh tomato tang with a moderate spicy kick. Can't say that I can taste the avocado here though. Still this would go perfectly, dipped in some fresh Guacamole.

KP - Mega Meanies Pickled Onion

Another KP snack from Ireland that I don't understand why it hasn't made it over the water.

I love the classic design of the KP crisps. These are pretty good tangy puffed corn crisps. The only reason I can think of for them not being in England is that people just preferred Monster Munch pickled onion - as these crisps are one and the same.

The crisps are shaped liked monster claws, the pickled onion is perfected and exactly you'd expect.

Thanks Ireland!

King - Gold Standard Wexford Vintage Cheddar & Spring Onion

5/9/2013

Found in Dublin, Ireland.


Gold standard are apparently a "special treat for crisp connoisseurs".

Cooked in a rich buttery sunflower oil but inconsistent in crunch. Some have perfect crunch and some feel a little stale. They're quite thin and oily but have a little bit of skin on some. 

The cheddar is not as strong as I'd hoped but the spring onion brings out a more intense flavour with an oniony tang. Could probably do with a hit more salt and a little less sugar.

A disappointing 3/10

KP - Rancheros

Found in Dublin, Ireland.

Looking at the back you'd think these were skips. Also made by KP with the same design.

They're pretty cheap puffed wheat, with excellent bacon flavouring. A nice smoky salty bacon taste but that cheap crisp feel to them. Similar to those cheap bacon crisps that you get in pubs that you want to be Frazzles

Found in Spain, priding themselves on 'exquisite flavour and crunch'.

Certainly looks classy. The inside is all gold!
Tastes like they've used butter instead of oil. Really rich crisps and nice thick crunch. 

They're basically really good ready salted, if a little bit greasy.

Tosfrit - Torcis

Found in Javea, Spain.

Love these! 

They're basically nik naks which I love, a great nobbly crunchy corn stick. Flavouring says that it's just natural cheese and although I can't see anything that says so in the ingredients, it feels like I can taste a sweet tomato in it to.Sugar is definitely high. Not sure why they make me think of tomato!
Eaten on a secluded beach only accessible by Kayak. Parfait.

8/10
