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 thin and a step a way from that real deep crackle of a great ridged crisp. Flavor-wise, it’s straightforward: just sea salt. Nothing fancy, and probably not quite enough salt for my taste. The ridges do a nice job of catching that salt so each bite pops just enough. It…
McCoy’s: Sizzling King Prawn

McCoy’s: Sizzling King Prawn

Has there ever been a crisp that has actually nailed prawn flavour? So many attempts are based on a weird blend of paprika or ketchup tang – essentially covering half of the flavours in a prawn cocktail without trying to approach the prawn itself. But at least they label themselves…
Doritos: Zingy Vinegar Blast

Doritos: Zingy Vinegar Blast

I’m not sure whether this Minecraft special edition pack is the same as the usual Dorito’s vinegar option, but I’m going to guess so… reduced to 90p on the shelves is not the greatest sign either way. At least these sit at the ‘dippable’ end of the Doritos range, rather…
Aldi: Specially Selected Lightly Sea Salted Crinkle Cut Crisps

Aldi: Specially Selected Lightly Sea Salted Crinkle Cut Crisps

There’s something undeniably comforting about a well-made salted crisp. No fuss, no gimmicks—just potatoes, salt, and a solid crunch. But when that humble crisp gets dressed up under a “Specially Selected” label, expectations naturally rise. Aldi’s premium range has built a quiet reputation for punching above its price point, so…
Aldi: Snackrite Salt & Vinegar Flavour Potato Hoops

Aldi: Snackrite Salt & Vinegar Flavour Potato Hoops

There’s something inherently cheerful about crisps that come in a shape — not a slab, not a stick, but a hoop. There’s a sense of playfulness to it, as if they know they’re not just a snack, but a small moment of joy. Aldi’s Snackrite Salt & Vinegar Flavour Potato…
Aldi: Snackrite BBQ Flavour Popouts

Aldi: Snackrite BBQ Flavour Popouts

There’s always a moment of hope when you open a bag of crisps with an unfamiliar shape — the sense that you might discover a new favourite. Aldi’s Snackrite BBQ Flavour Popouts certainly look the part: popped rather than fried, dusted in rusty-orange seasoning, and shaped a little like the…
Aldi: Snackrite Ready Salted Potato Hoops

Aldi: Snackrite Ready Salted Potato Hoops

There’s a particular charm to a crisp that doesn’t shout. No bold flavours, no flaming chilli dust or tangy gimmicks — just a simple snack doing what it’s always done, in a shape that makes you smile. Aldi’s Snackrite Ready Salted Potato Hoops are very much in that tradition: light,…
Aldi: Deltas Cool Tortilla Chips

Aldi: Deltas Cool Tortilla Chips

There’s something quietly intriguing about Aldi’s Deltas range. It feels like the supermarket equivalent of putting on sunglasses indoors — trying to be cool without saying so out loud. The name itself — Deltas Cool — sounds like a translation that’s one step to the left of familiar, but you…
Aldi: Deltas Chilli Flavour Tortilla Chips

Aldi: Deltas Chilli Flavour Tortilla Chips

There’s a certain expectation when you see the word chilli on a crisp packet — a quiet promise of warmth, maybe a bit of a sting, possibly even a slow, building fire. Aldi’s Deltas Chilli Flavour Tortilla Chips flirt with that idea, but never quite commit. These are crisps with…
Aldi: Deltas Tangy Cheese Tortilla Chips

Aldi: Deltas Tangy Cheese Tortilla Chips

Cheese crisps are one of those deeply personal snack categories. People tend to fall into one of two camps: can’t get enough, or can’t get away fast enough. I’ll be honest — despite my love for real-life cheese, I’ve always leaned towards the latter. That said, sometimes it’s worth approaching…

Sometimes, the simplest things are the hardest to get right. Aldi’s Deltas Salted Tortilla Chips arrive with modest ambition — just corn, salt, and a little crunch. No flashy flavours, no gimmicks. Just a straightforward salted chip that’s as close to a blank canvas as you can get in the…
Aldi: Saucy Nibbley Nobblies

Aldi: Saucy Nibbley Nobblies

Sometimes snacks come along with names so quirky they almost make you hopeful. Aldi’s Saucy Nibbley Nobblies definitely qualify. You expect fun, a bit of character, maybe something worth chatting about. What you get, though, is a flavour that struggles to justify its existence. Shapes that promise more than flavour…
Aldi: Snackrite Grilled Steak Ridged Crisps

Aldi: Snackrite Grilled Steak Ridged Crisps

I’ll be honest—when I see “grilled steak” on a crisp packet, my expectations are set somewhere between cautious optimism and outright scepticism. Steak flavour is hard to nail without the balance of char to sweet tender meatiness, and attempts to mimic usually rely on a dusty stock cube. Aldi’s take…
