Osem - Bamba Peanut Snack

Osem - Bamba peanut snack
Kosher crisps!

Well these are not exactly what I was hoping for, for crisp nation veterans you'll know that my only 10/10s are Erdnuss Flips from Germany.

These don't have the crunch that Flips have and they certainly don't have the intense/greasy flavour. There's a peanut flavour which is tasty but they are just really really dry.

Oh well. Happy Passover!

TGI Fridays - Potato Skins, Cheddar & Sour Cream

TGI Fridays - cheddar & sour cream potato skins.

I wasn't sure whether to put these in the around the world section or the reviews. I found them in Boston Airport, but a good while ago they used to be available in the UK and I loved them then so they're going into reviews even though second taste was in the US.

These are actually made from the skins of the potato, and so they have an excellent crunch to them, one side of the crisp is dark and one is light.

The flavour is intense and full. The cheddar is strong and the sour cream adds a nice creamy touch.

Salt content is maybe a little high but it's a good tasty crisp with an excellent crunch

Mackie's - Arran Honey & Mustard

Woah! This one is a hard hitter on the mustard front.

Awesome though, you just have to deal with a good English (or Scottish in this case) Mustard. Like proper mustard and you'll be rewarded with these.

It's got a great full flavour, with tones of garlic & onion. Obviously the Mustard is the main flavours to this crisp, but the honey still comes through and is a really nice sweetness that only just takes the edge off the mustard.

Crisps are well/ evenly seasoned with a good amount of Salt. Crunch is great and the dryness of Mackie's crisps are not as noticeable because of the intense flavours.

My eyes are watering and my nostrils are burning coming to the end of the pack, but i'm loving it.

Cornish Crisp Company - Hot Chilli

Another Cornish Crisp Company flavour here, and they've tackled chilli is this one, with procedes going to Shelter Box.

They've labelled is 'the devastater' which is pretty funny but maybe makes you think that it's really going to hurt, which it doesn't.

It definitely packs a nice punch - but it's tamed by a good sweetness, brought to you by (looking in the ingredients) Sugar, coconut, lemongrass and lime.

Another really strong crisp from cornish crisps. Great thickness, great crunch and great seasoning.

Lick your fingers good.

Kettle Chips - Sour Cream & Sweet Onion

Eh? Why does it say new on my pack? Kettle Chips lay low on a flavour and then re-release it.

Still, a good crisp as expected from Kettle Chips. It's a good flavour too. Basically a creamy, sweet cheese and onion.

There's a good amount of sour cream in these which I appreciate. The sweetness comes in the form of a fair amount of sugar, so a whole pack might become a little sickly.

Kettle Chips - Mozzarella & Pesto

Mmm! I've been wanting pesto crisps for a good while, everytime walkers asked for new flavour suggestions- pesto and chicken satay were on my list! (two different flavours not mixed :S)

Kettle chips are an awesome potato with a great crunch, the mozzarella and pesto are made from natural seasoning. They're a little greasy, but pesto is quite oil rich anyways. Mozzarella doesn't really have that much taste but the creamyness definitely comes through, basil pesto is amazing.
