Worcester sauce is criminally underused as a crisp flavour. That fermented, umami-rich, anchovy-and-tamarind complexity deserves wider representation. M&S provides it.
The flavour is authentically Worcester. You can taste the fermented depth, the layers of aged complexity that make this sauce what it is. It’s not “brown sauce flavour” or “tangy savoury flavour.” It’s specifically, recognisably Worcester sauce.
On a crisp, this translates beautifully. The umami punch, the slight sweetness, the indefinable something that makes Worcester sauce essential to countless recipes. All present, all accounted for.
M&S executes this with care. The seasoning is balanced, allowing Worcester sauce character to emerge without becoming overwhelming. There’s craft here, understanding of how bold flavours should work on crisps.
The hidden gem
Worcester Sauce crisps don’t get the attention they deserve. If you’ve never tried them, start here. M&S’s version is among the best widely available.
Fermented brilliance in crisp form.
