McCoy's - Sizzling BBQ Chicken (ULTIMATE)

27/3/2014

McCoy's deliver another taste sensation in their new range ULTIMATE.

Sizzling BBQ chicken really hits the spot of awesomeness. The deep ridges have amazing crunch and density.

The flavour is off the hook. The chicken flavour is as recognisable as the walkers chicken flavouring, but only a hint of it as your mouth is overwhelmed by the sweet BBQ sauce - and so much more. This bbq is rich with chilli and pepper, in quite an extreme way. The pepper is full on, so you need to be a pepper lover.

Fortunately I am, and I dig.

McCoy's - Chargrilled Steak & Peri Peri (ULTIMATE)

25/3/2014

New from McCoy's, found in Luton airport.

I was a little hesitant when I first saw that ULTIMATE meant that the crisps have been flavoured twice.. McCoy's crisps are rammed full of flavour already, surely these are going to be sickly?!

Well, no is the answer. The flavour isn't bad at all. The chargrilled steak flavouring is deep and smoky. The aftertaste is peri peri and is great, more of a medium nandos heat rather than an extra hot. It's got a great tang.

The ridges are super deep and super crunchalicious. These are great crisps, bursting with but not overpowering with flavour.

Kettle Chips - Sweet Chilli BAKED

11/3/2014

Second installment of Kettle's Baked crisps and you know what - nowhere near as bad as Cream Cheese & Chive.

Mainly as they're a little more greasy - a whole 2 calories more. It's still a thin limited crunch crisp with a dry aftertaste, but the chilli is nice and brings an army of saliva to the party.

Still way too dry for my liking.

Kettle Chips - Cream Cheese & Chive BAKED

The new range from Kettle chips, for the Calorie conscious amongst us.

Kettle baked is interesting.. definitely not greasy but definitely quite dry.

This would probably make for a pretty nice flavour, the salt levels are right and the cheese & chive is tangy but with it being so dry - after a few seconds it leaves a kind of dusty stale cheese vibe hanging in your crisp hole. It's the same disgust I get from rice cake crisps (NOT CRISPS). The crisps are very thing and light with minimal crunch.

POM-BEAR - ZOO FRIENDS Really Cheesy

Pom-bear go to the zoo!

Special edition Pom-bears, ZOO FRIENDS. How exciting!

These are a must for cheese lovers, and nostalgic crisp eaters. The flavour is full and creamy, exactly the same as the infamous Quavers. The crunch and texture is still a pom-bear, but they are Elephants, Lions, Hippos, Turtles, Bison?, Leopards and from what I can see - a Penguin?

They are selling multibags of these in Sainburys. Do it.

Walkers - Original (POPS)

3/3/2014

I was wondering how long it would take before Walkers cottoned on to the amazingness that is pop chips, so here they are finally with their own range of 'pops'.

Pops flavours consist of Original, Sour Cream & Onion, Prawn Cocktail & Melted Cheese & Bacon.

In my first crunch into a pop, and i'm surprised that they haven't created an exact replica of pop chips original..

The crisp is too hard, and way too salty. It's like a pop chip, only not as good. Pop chips for the win!

That said, i'm looking forward to checking out the other flavours!
