Rey_Piste Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Basically since food threads are popular, but people start talking about pretzels in the crisp thread or Haribo in the chocolate thread. This is the thread about all snacks which don't fit into previous threads. I went on a date last night to a wanky "cafe" AKA a really poncey pub with nothing on tap. That's not important, whats important is these were fucking delicious. The almost 3 quid asking price was a shocker, but imagine really crispy pepperoni from a pizza in a bag. They do salami ones as well which sound nice, but I am put off by the price for a relatively small package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted February 22, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2020 Considering Jerky normally costs £1.50 in a supermarket, I don't think the price point is too bad for a premium product (£2.50 In Sainsbury’s I’ve just seen). on that note, Kings Jerky have started some Vegan Jerky. Currently 99p in Aldi. Tomato and Basil and Black Bean sauce. The black bean ones are really nice and I’m glad I can now have some jerky again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the vegan jerky avoid the tomato and basil ones they taste like cardboard with a hint of basil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys were featured in the documentary about Sainsbury's last year, trying to pitch for shelf space. Fair play they've found a niche for 'deluxe' bar snacks and seem to be doing well.

Rey_Piste Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Because of this video, I ended up buying a 3 pack of the 200g packs for almost a tenner off Amazon, because I remember them being ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 26, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 26, 2020 As mentioned in the Best Chocolate Bar thread, just been by my local minimart - they've got these crisps in, including the actually-rather-dull Kebab flavour crisps (think it's Dead Mike who's seen these too). I got the "Chakalaka" flavour in the end (can someone clarify if there is such a dish from Africa, and they're not just being Um Bongo-type racist?) - tastes like a cross between Ribs flavour and Thai Sweet Chicken. Might try the Wasabi next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted February 26, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 26, 2020 I remember Wasabi popcorn in some posh shop in London. Was pretty nice actually. But Kebab crisps never taste anything like Kebabs at all. Always disappointing. From Wikipedia Chakalaka is a South African vegetable relish,[1] usually spicy, that is traditionally served with bread, pap, samp, stews, or curries.

Paid Members mim731 Posted March 7, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 7, 2020 Not my image, for clarity, but I did see these in M&S today while shopping for a mother's Day present. Seem to be similar to what you had @Rey_Piste but probably a bit cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) @mim731 I just looked online and the bags are the same size for £1.50, so I will have to try and pick some up. Edited March 7, 2020 by Rey_Piste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it was useful! No idea if they are as good, but you would assume they'll be a similar product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
