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, but it scratches the curiosity itch.
As for snackability, it’s a novelty more than a regular rotation crisp. Fun for a match day, maybe a talking point at half‑time, but you’re unlikely to build a lifelong crisp relationship here.
Overall? Ambitious, a little weird, but oddly enjoyable in the right context. We’ll call it a mid‑table crisp—safe from relegation, not heading to the Champions League.
