Members SuperBacon Posted June 12 Members Posted June 12 These are fine, but are ridged. They dont really taste like either thing, but if you like paprika crisps you'll like them. 6/10 Also got the queso ones which again are OK, but just a cheese crisp feels wrong, unless it's quavers. It has to be Cheese AND something. Also they absolutely hum and make your fingers stink. 5/10 I also thought the picture of Beckham on the Walkers was CM Punk, so time to get new lenses. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 12 Paid Members Posted June 12 These are nice. There's a little extra something to the flavour that makes it a bit more than just your bog-standard steak crisp. Little bit of a tang. Quote
Merzbow Posted June 12 Posted June 12 The Bangers and Mash ones are ok, more gravy tasting than anything else. Would have preferred them to be a bit herb-y too. Quote
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted June 25 Paid Members Posted June 25 Back in Aldi, these are absolutely amazing. Going back to a standard onion ring after these beauties is shit. Gonna get loads & put them in the loft until the NFL kicks back off Quote

Fucking hell, both of these are amazing. The bags are huge for a quid too. Going to go back to Aldi tomorrow to get more. Quote

Paid Members RedTwoster Posted Monday at 12:35 PM Paid Members Posted Monday at 12:35 PM Walkers has released a new range of premium crisps called 'Walkers Gold' - so naturally, I had to give them a go. I couldn't get hold of the Black Truffle flavour, but I've tried the other three... Somerset Mature Cheddar & Onion - for this to have any reason to exist, it has to be better than the existing Walkers Cheese & Onion flavour, which is the pinnacle of cheese and onion crisps for me. Here's the thing though, if you were to give someone who had never tried a cheese and onion crisp one of the original blue bag crisps, I don't think they'd be able to identify what the flavour actually was. Give them one of these, and I'd be surprised if they did not. The cheese is more idenitifiable, as is the onion. They still taste similar-ish to the traditional Walkers C&O crisp, but on the whole, I wasn't a fan. Didn't finish the bag. 5/10 Sea Salt & Olive Oil - I was expecting these to be a posh ready salted crisp, but they're actually very herby which I quite enjoyed. Salty and herby, with a nice, thin crisp that was in itself very tasty. The herbs were so prominent I couldn't really compare them to any other premium crisp flavour, but they were very moreish and I could imagine some people finding them very addictive. 7/10 Cider Vinegar & Sea Salt - I don't like 'normal' Walkers Salt & Vinegar crisps. They're just not for me, and I almost didn't bother with these as a result. As it turns out, these were my favourite of the three - really nice and tangy, with a strong flavour to them and again, a really lovely thin crisp. If I'd not filled myself up on the Sea Salt & Olive Oil, I'd have absolutely finished this bag - it's top tier stuff. I hope Walkers succeeds with its premium range purely to stop these ones from going anywhere. 9/10 Quote

They're available at Tesco at a reduced price at the moment if you have a clubcard - £1.50, although it looks like they're only going to be £2 full price, which is still pretty decent. Quote

Well they would be if they had any, as I've just found out. You know what Roosty, if you're gonna post crisps, do it after lunch, so I don't see the posts, need the crisps and walk up over lunch. None! I did come away with another bag of these though, which are (ridge aside) absolutely superb. 9/10 Quote

They're a decent enough 6/10 but not a patch on many other black truffle crisps from the likes of M&S or Lidl around this time of the year, a little bland and a sweetness that doesn't belong there.
