Pickled onion is a divisive flavour. You either love it or you’re wrong.
I’m being provocative, but only slightly. Pickled onion crisps have an intensity that demands strong opinions. The vinegar, the onion sharpness, the way they make your breath antisocial for hours afterwards. These are not crisps for first dates or job interviews.
Golden Wonder’s version is authentically aggressive. The pickled onion flavour is immediate and uncompromising, that distinctive tang that evokes jars of silverskin onions on pub bars and chip shop counters.
There’s something gloriously working-class about pickled onion crisps. They’re not trying to be sophisticated. They’re not appealing to food critics or health-conscious snackers. They’re appealing to people who want strong flavour and don’t care about the consequences.
Eat these alone. Warn anyone you live with. Accept the breath situation as the price of flavour.
Uncompromising excellence.
