Walkers - Yo! Katsu Curry

5/6/2020

Next up in the TASTE ICONS range from walkers - Yo! Katsu Curry.

I'm not sure Katsu is what Yo! is known for... but Sushi would make for a pretty disgusting crisp I guess - Rice/seaweed/fish flavour? No thanks!

I'm a fan of Katsu, even if the flavour can sometimes taste like a cheap iceland microwave curry flavour. Sure it's trashy, but with a crunchy chicken it's definitely one of my favourite Japanese dishes.

They've hit the Katsu nail on the head here. The flavour is exactly as it should be and tastes really nice. I'm glad Walkers didn't try to add their chicken flavouring into this as it would undoubtedly becoming a bit sickly as a result. These really are quite good.

Pringles - Rice Fusion - Indian Tandoori Chicken Masala

28/5/2019

0 Comments

Next up in the Rice Fusion range is a classic Indian dish, the Tandoori Chicken Masala.

And my is it making me want a curry. Again, the flavouring is intense, aromatic, authentic and on point, with an Indian peppery-hot kick to it. Cayenne to be precise. It's the tomato that's really shining through here though, with a richness that makes the Masala what it should be.

I can't say I'm noticing any difference in texture with these rice offerings, they still have a good crunch. Which is obviously a relief.

Bound to be a crowd-pleaser, would need to be shared given the rich flavour.

Pringles - Rice Fusion - Malaysian Red Curry

A welcome new addition to the Pringles family.
They've been made with rice flavour, so they're basically a health food... right?

Their new range has got some pretty interesting flavours, and frankly, these ones make me want to hop on a flight straight to Kuala Lumpur. There's a good amount of spices playing around here - turmeric, pepper, cumin, coriander, ginger, cardamom, fenugreek, cinnamon and cloves. Phew!

The flavour feels authentic, like something I've had in a South East Asian restaurant at some point in the past - it's smokey, intense, exotic, but with a sweetness underlying it all that's teasing the tastebuds. It's definitely not a 'hot' curry, more aromatic. And I'm here for it.

Walkers - Chicken Tikka Masala

3/9/2018

This range from Walkers celebrates the decades past in the UK. Something to touch on the nostalgia heartstrings?

Being born in the 80s, I've started right there... with a Chicken Tikka Masala. Indian food boomed in the 80s and you'd be hard pressed to find a town in England without a classic token Indian restaurant in it. They've gone with a pretty mild curry to please the masses, Tikka Masala, a herby, tomatoey flavour that should please most taste buds. Personally I feel the sweetness that are in these could perfectly round off a spicy crisp. The mixture of both spice and sweetness is a mix made in heaven.

I have enjoyed these though, they have a sweet chutney feel to them.

McCoy's - Chip Shop Curry Sauce (CHIPS)

Wow I am so amazing surprised by how tasty these are - I was underwhelmed/horrified by the amount of salt in the other two in this range, but the chip shop curry sauce - while obviously very trashy, really hits the spot.

It's a paprika-ey tang with a peppery aftertaste that really sits well on these super thick & crunchy chip shaped crisps (just to confuse the US!). The salt levels don't seem anywhere near as extreme as the others in this range so i'm a happy camper.

I'm delighted to welcome, the pot noodle of the crisp world.

Burton's Fish 'n' Chips - Curry Sauce

21/9/2015

And old timer decides to step things up a notch!

You all know the old classic salt & vinegar fish 'n' chips from behind the bar at an old boozer.

They're usually super salty sour bread-based snacks similar to mini cheddars.

For the first time in.. ever? They've released a new flavour.. another classic british flavour - curry!

They've got the same consistency as usual and definitely the same salt content (!) but they've added a touch of curry powder to it, not a hot sauce but a classic gravy-like curry sauce you'd find in a classic fish 'n' chip shop.

And fair play to them, they've hit the mark!

Waka Waka - Awesome Tikka Massala

Awesome is the word here!

Waka Waka came out of nowhere! There's very limited info on them online, except a flavour list. Hoping to have the full range for you to view shortly.

These were found in a vending machine, a surprise, but the kind of surprise I like.

They're basically nik naks, great hard crunch maize/rice crisp. Tikka massala flavour is great, a really smoky, tomatoey, peppery taste sensation.

Also - awesome packaging! Look out for these guys in the future..
