Walkers: Steak & Ale Pie‑n‑alty – Football Series

We’ll give Walkers credit right away: they went all‑in on the pun. And when you open the bag, there is a definite whiff of the pub — that dark, gravy‑rich aroma that screams steak and ale pie (minus the soggy pastry and post‑match pint). The crunch is the classic Walkers let down – thin, quick, and gone before you know it. Flavor though? It’s doing its best impression of “liquid dinner in a crisp.” A malty sweetness leans forward first, then a savory, meaty background note. Think “Sunday lunch condensed into a potato flake.” It won’t fool your nan’s pie,…
Tyrrells Furrows Sea Salted

Tyrrells: Furrows Sea Salted

Furrows … yes this is nice bit of word play here. There are some serious ridges at play. Tyrrells have taken the humble potato and carved it into deep, craggy trenches that feel somewhere between “rustic harvest” and “construction project.” The crunch is satisfying, but to me they feel just a little…
M&S: Hand Cooked Mature Cheddar & Spring Onion Crisps

M&S: Hand Cooked Mature Cheddar & Spring Onion Crisps

First impressions were strong — from the moment the bag opened, there was a rich, cheesy aroma that actually smelled like real mature cheddar, not the usual artificial smell. The crisps themselves looked the part too: golden, with a dusting of seasoning that promised flavour in every bite.…
M&S: Lightly Salted Tortillas

M&S: Lightly Salted Tortillas

M&S tortilla chips have always felt like they’re trying to be the sophisticated cousin of the corn chip family. These lightly salted ones position themselves as the refined option—but do they deliver on that promise? A proper corn chip The first thing you notice is the satisfying snap when you…
M&S: Hand Cooked Sweet Chill Crisps

M&S: Hand Cooked Sweet Chill Crisps

M&S has a mixed track record with their hand-cooked range, so I approached these sweet chilli crisps with some trepedation. They’re positioned as a premium offering, and at M&S prices, they better deliver. Texture The hand-cooked process gives these crisps a satisfying thickness and that characteristic irregular shape that suggests…
M&S: Hand Cooked Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar Crisps

M&S: Hand Cooked Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar Crisps

No shy splash of vinegar here, but a full-on balsamic wallop with all the tangy drama of the sour and sweet balsamic (in the best way). When you open them, you can smell the difference. Not the acidic, nostril-flaring tang you get from cheaper vinegars, but something more rounded, almost…
M&S: Extreme Ridge Salt and Double Vinegar Potato Crisps

M&S: Extreme Ridge Salt and Double Vinegar Potato Crisps

Extreme. The least extreme hard rock band of the 90s. My sister was a huge fan, although I think that was more down to having a crush on the guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. Extreme Ridge. The least extreme crisp, from a supermarket that would think having not having your shirt tucked…
