Phileas Fogg - Cool Sour Cream & Onion Mexican Taco Rolls

22/4/2013

Phileas Fogg cool sour cream & onion
Mexican taco rolls.

Mmm creamy! I'd say Doritos cool original but a little creamier.

Crisp is a really interesting shape. Taco rolls are pretty crunchy and have a very similar consistency to Doritos. They make for great dipping tools.

Really like these. New range from Phileas Fogg is looking really impressive.

Phileas Fogg - Pesto & Roasted Red Peppers

Phileas Fogg's brand new flavour, Pesto & Roasted Red Peppers

Pretty subtle flavouring here. The crisps are quite dry but with a strong Corn Doritos like crunch.

Pesto definitely comes through but I like my pesto a little more greasy, roasted red pepper is pretty subtle too. Not sure how it's supposed to be roasted?

Would definitely serve better with dips, otherwise it's just lacking enough flavour

Mackie's - Scotch Bonnet

Scotch Bonnet is supposed to be the infamously spicy Scottish Chilli pepper, so these should hurt a bit.

Luckily they don't, but the flavour they've got here is pretty unique. Sure there's Chilli there, but there's a lot more to it, and being insanely spicy obviously wasn't the main objective for them. Sure there's a little burn a few minutes later, but it's slight.

The flavour here is extremely smoky, and has been pumped with a lot of different ingredients including tomato, garlic, onion, cayenne, coriander, aniseed, Coconut, cumin, oregano, parsley, paprika and of course chilli.

I'm still not massive fans of the dryness of Mackie's but overall i'm quite impressed with these. A real smoky Chilli with a lasting, intense flavour. Real warming flavour, great for our cold non-existent spring.

Real Crisps - Pepperoni

3/4/2013

mmmm! I'm so impressed!

Real crisps have always done pretty well in my books, but i'm really loving their new flavour - Pepperoni.

First off it's a good crisp, good amount of crunch from a non oily potato but with a flavouring that isn't too dry.

The Pepperoni flavouring is perfect, you could easily crunching down on a really thin overdone pepperoni off an american pizza. Which is amazing considering these are vegatarian crisps! A lot goes into the ingredients to make them what they are: Tomato, Paprika, Onion, Garlic, Parsley, Carrot, Oregano, Thyme, Fennel (you can't taste it don't worry), Cayenne, Liquorice, black pepper (lots of that).

Crisp of the month, 9/10

McCoy's - Treble Cheese & Worcester Sauce

Ok, so as trashy crisps go - these are up there with the wrongest. These are like the pot noodle of the crisp world.

Still, I have room in my taste buds for them. There is a lot of flavouring on these beasts and there's nothing hiding how much oil and orange colouring are on them. They're very cheesy and have a big worcester sauce tang.

Both of these I like and together although is maybe a bit sickly, works for me. The worcester sauce is strong, stronger than walkers' flavour and it is the lasting flavour in your mouth afterwards.

Wouldn't be an every day flavour for me, more of a drunken late night takeaway than a classy dinner party.
