Ok so Pork scratchings don't meet the crisp criteria in my book, but as a curiosity - guest reviewer and stratching expert Greg puts The Posh Pig to the test...
Pork Crackling noshers are a rare breed. They are the men (or women - but usually men) who would choose a Guinness over a Lager. They are not afraid to go to the pub on their own and sit at the bar witnessing people coming and going while keeping a steady flow of Guinness at arms reach and a steady flow of banter with the barmaid. They are the ones that after 6 pints of Guinness, leave the pub with a more confident sober stride than people who've just entered. As such, they would naturally go for pork scratching, being the hardened pub alumnus that they are. Pork scratching are a complex snack to tackle. I like that it's frowned upon by some people to order scratching instead of nuts or Frazzles. Enter Chilli flavour Hogroast PorkCrackling by The Posh Pig. Hello! Is this what David Cameron orders when Samantha has popped to the ladies? I think so. Overall these are actually quite nice, a bit more moist and substantial than it's original bar mainstay, and you look like a posh geezer eating it. In terms of flavour, it's too subtle for my taste. I'm eating these sober and they are not burning my mouth. After a couple pints, your taste buds are a little inebriated as well and need that flavour to cut through. My advice, if it's not making David's eyes water, there is something a-miss.
