Ready salted reveals everything. No seasoning to mask texture problems. No bold flavour to distract from potato quality. Just crisp and salt and judgment.
M&S passes, barely.
The texture is decent without being remarkable. Better than budget brands, not as substantial as premium hand-cooked options. Middle ground crisp for middle ground purposes.
The salt is properly applied. The potato flavour exists, present if not pronounced. Everything functions as ready salted crisps should function.
There’s nothing special here. That’s not a criticism, exactly. Ready salted shouldn’t be special. It should be dependable, consistent, the baseline option when nothing else appeals.
M&S Ready Salted is dependable. It’s consistent. It’s the baseline option for M&S shoppers when nothing else appeals.
Adequate. Sometimes adequate is enough.
