The odd, amazing and INSANE crisps I've discovered from around the world...

Lays - Cheeseburger

Found in Normandy, France. I have to say, this is not a flavour I expected to find in France, that gastronomic giant of foody genius. But here we are with Lays, aka Walkers, dragging down the country's reputation with some all-American fare. 

On first sniff, it's sickly and intense - in fact, a bit gag-inducing. However, on first taste, they're quite sweet and pleasing. They have something of the Big Mac flavouring about them, with sweet onion and tomato overtones.

Definitely not getting a beefy flavour from these, but I think I'm ok with that. It's not a million miles away from a Walkers Prawn Cocktail - it's that sweet tomato sauce shining through on the palette, and I don't mind it. 

It's like Cheese and Onion and Prawn Cocktail had a wild menage-a-trois with a sweet caramelised shallot, and here's their love-child. 

Not what I was expecting, but let's give it an 8.5/10.

Bret's - Pesto au basilic

Pesto is a flavour that I've often dreamt of; every time Walkers brings out a range where they ask for new flavours Pesto (and Chicken Satay) have been at the top of my list. But, I've never come across them, until now. 

These crunchy, ridged chips de la France really have done Pesto justice. They've got the flavour just right, with the right amount of intensity, without being overbearing. 

Pesto can be quite an oily substance, so I'm surprised they've achieved that basil-y flavour hit without being too greasy. 

Entirely more-ish, they get a 9/10 from me.

Belin Croustilles - Cacahuete

Found in France.

When I found these I literally thought they were going to be the best thing since sliced potato.

My favourite crisps are flips - essentially peanut butter wotsits.. but I absolutely love the crunch and texture of nik-naks. So combining these could be the best thing in the world. 

The flavouring here is what lets it down, peanut crisps need to be pretty greasy to work, these are just way too dry, the crisp way too flaky.

Such a shame.

3/10

Crisps for peanut addicts.... Yes please!!! As you all know, my favourite crisps of all time are Erdnuss flips. Peanutty goodness embodied.

Well these are they! Only they have a different feel to the wotsit-like variety I'm so in love with, they are thick with an awesome crunch, and are overflowing with peanut butter... A real peanut lovers fantasy..

10/10
