Chip Report
 

Englishteastore was running a special on shipping a few months ago, so I thought it would be fun to buy some crazily-flavored chips/crisps from England and eat them with my nephews at Thanksgiving. Well, I forgot so tonight (Friday) my parents and I ate turkey sandwiches and tried the following flavors of Walker's brand crisps:

<u>Prawn Cocktail</u> By far Dad's least favorite flavor. More ketchupy than shrimpy.

<u>Smoky Bacon</u> I made my dad guess the flavors of each chip without showing him the package, and this was the only flavor he guessed correctly.

<u>Beef &amp; Onion</u> Beefy, oniony. Kinda gross.

<u>Roast Chicken</u> Mmmm...tasted like chicken.

<u>Worcester Sauce</u> Nowhere near as salty as I was expecting. Quite pleasant. My favorite.

<u>Marmite</u> Nowhere near as gross as I was expecting. Marmite taste was very muted in comparison to the potato chip taste. Dad's favorite.

<u>Overall</u> Brits are weird. Chips weren't as weird or as salty as I was expecting them to be.

<u>Best Comment</u> Mom: "You can buy chips on the internet?!?"

Ok this post is pretty interesting so I'm bumping it.
Smokey bacon sounds decent.

I bought some sea salt &amp; cracked peppercorn potato chips from the store the other day. They were ok but not as good as sea salt &amp; malt vinegar IMO.

Does anyone make ketchup potato chips anymore? I know Old Dutch used to but haven't seen them in probably 10 years.

Re: Chip Report
 

So how much did all those chips run you buffet?

Re: Chip Report
 

are you using the word "chips" in the American way or the British way?

Re: Chip Report
 

Smoky Bacon crisps and marmite crisps rock!
