Burton's Fish n Chips - Red Sauce

Well here is a Chip crisp I can really get behind!

Burton's Fish n Chips tow the line on whether they should be included as a crisp, as really they're a baked biscuit/cracker. 

But they have been a long standing classic in the crisp for so many years, just liked our beloved mini cheddars so i'm giving them the praise they deserve.

And here they are with 2 new flavours! They're running a competition between red sauce (ketchup) and brown sauce! What a great idea and what a crisp. They've really mastered the sweet tomato flavouring.. they're so moreish. Haven't found the brown sauce version yet - but red sauce gets my vote over most crisps today!

Walkers - Hot Dog with Tomato Ketchup

Another in the 'Do us a flavour' range from Walkers.

This time it's hot dog with tomato ketchup, as disgusting as that might sound to some, it's not actually that bad. If you like tomato flavoured crisps.. or prawn cocktail (that has nothing to do with prawns and everything to do with a sweet tomato flavouring) then you'll like these.

They're not that far off prawn cocktail if i'm honest, maybe a smidgen less sugar. These are suitable for vegetarians - so there really isn't any hot dog to do with them. Still, i'm not sure a sausage-y crisp would be that nice.. If they said these were ketchup flavour.. you would not be surprised.

Walkers Market Deli - Roasted Red Chilli with Mediterranean Sun dried Tomato Tortilla Chips

Well I have to say that Walkers bringing out a new range now has really shocked me, even if it is a subsidiary. To be run alongside the do us a flavour campaign seems strange!

I don't think I've seen any marketing related to this range, an interesting tack by the crisp market giants.

I'm actually quite impressed with these as it goes. The roasted chilli is deep without being too overpowering and the sun dried tomato is really tasty! The salt levels are pretty high as i'd expect from Walkers and the tortilla could be a little thicker but all in all - these are pretty tasty! They would be great dipped in sour cream. They off a chilli con carne without the carne type flavour.

Walkers - Cheesy Beans On Toast

Third up in the Do us a flavour range reviews..

And they've turned something amazing, simple and tasty into something overly cheap and vommy. I really thought they could do better than this, get some some sweet ketchup flavouring and add a bit of cheddar - what can go wrong?!

These are really sickly. Really can't stomach the whole pack I'm afraid.

Bad luck Emma C!

Golden Wonder - Heinz Tomato Ketchup

These are obviously nothing new, but I saw them on sale for the first time in a while so thought they'd be worth a quick review/ I wanted to eat them.

Golden Wonder could do with being a little thicker and crunchier for me, but they're a good crisp none the less.

Flavour is punchy, a nice sweet tomato. More sweet than salty. 

I dig. 7/10

Mackie's - Cherry Tomato & Herbs

10/12/2012

Mackie's state their proudness of having such a dry texture on their crisps but personally - I feel that this is a massive flaw in their crisps. The fact that the pack is covered in a design looking very much some kind of chipboard does not help remove the thought that this is a very dry crisp.

They need some oil to let the seasoning wash around a bit, and it would give the crisp a lot better crunch than it currently has.

That rant over, I actually quite like the flavour. I'd expect a cherry tomato to have a sweeter taste than these, so it's more of a savoury affair with the herbs mixed in.

These would probably go down quite well with some sour cream dip or something to stop your mouth turning into a sawdust bin.

Pipers - Wissington Spicy Tomato

Holy Moly, this is one FINE crisp!

What a flavour. It's like a sweet walkers heinz ketchup flavour, ramped up a few notches, with some deep & intense spices.

The crisp gives great crunch, the oil level is good and the amount of seasoning is overdone - which in some cases means it's too much.. in this case you just want more and more and more and more and more.

This is one of those hall of fame crisps that will go down in Crisp Nation history.
