RedRooster Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Don't get me wrong, I don't see any need to ever buy it again, but it wasn't unpleasant or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a once in a lifetime opportunity I'd like to try them, but can't see it working at all.  It was at a podcast recording that I'd gone to largely by mistake, and they do a bit at the start about trying different crisp flavours and trying to guess what they are. I wanted to make it clear that I didn't actively pursue them. The flavour isn't the issue - they taste exactly like fizzy cola bottles. The problem is that fizzy cola bottle flavour has no business being the texture of crisps, and they go properly weird when bits get stuck between your teeth the way that crisps do.

Merzbow Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Japan seems to have a bigger culture of pairing snacks with beer than here, so it kind of makes sense but still.. you don't want the snack tasting just like what you're drinking.

Merzbow Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Munching on these Polish bad boys, there's a good heat to them without being overbearing. Would definitely buy again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are Chinese crisps that Rooster's posted. I've not heard of Japan doing them, but, given how varied their KitKats are, wouldn't surprise me to see those on the market there either.

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted October 31, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 31, 2022 Not bad, but would benefit from having McCoys level flavour strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A colleague brought a pack of these into work today - they'll knock your socks off. One of the best I've ever tried. I gave these a try based on this recommendation...they are definitely packed with flavour, but I'm not sure I'd buy them again. The coconut taste was a bit overpowering, although I will say, on the whole, they do a decent job of recreating the taste of katsu sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted November 3, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Banging Picked these up in Canada. Reminded me of Steak and Onion walkers but stronger beef flavor. Would recommend. 8.5/10 Edited November 3, 2022 by Hannibal Scorch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrodyGraham Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Just had the Torres iberico ham crisps mentioned a page or two back. Bloody lovely although they very much remind me of the ham crisps that Aldi do over Christmas, I think it's the Simply Exquisite range (usually in a turqouisey green bag). That is to say that they're very nice but I'll be looking forward to getting twice as many delicious crisps for my hard earned currency come Yuletide!

Paid Members Carbomb Posted November 15, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 15, 2022 I am a little curious how they'll make crisps taste like a roast potato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are like the Walkers ones from last year, mildly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
