Best skincare and diet tips during perimenopause. This content is imported from Instagram. Spicy Lobster Barbecue crisps sound like they have it all. We imagine they taste like a combination of flaming hot, prawn cocktail and barbecue varieties.
Raclette Cheese crisps conjure images of cosy Swiss chalets, log fires and feasts with raclette cheese melted over meats, bread and boiled potatoes.
We'd love to know if these crisps sold by Lay's Indonesia in delivered. It's not just any kebab on the packet of these limited-edition crisps from Canadian brand Covered Bridge. The crisps, available in , were inspired by the donair — a Halifax specialty, similar to a doner kebab or gyro, with ground beef, tomatoes, onions and special sauce wrapped in a pita. They were created with pizza chain Greco Pizza. Brussels sprouts are a divisive vegetable and we get the feeling British brand Walkers made these Christmas-themed crisps for their novelty factor rather than an appreciation of the brassica.
One thing is for certain though: when we tried them , they delivered on the Brussels sprout flavour. The crisp is said to taste impressively close to the real thing. They were released to encourage people to try more unusual meats such as grouse and pheasant.
Tinned beans on toast is a classic British comfort food and in , it inspired one of the crisp flavours in a Walkers competition. The crisps were produced for a short time but ultimately lost to pulled pork in sticky barbecue sauce as the public's favourite. Pecan Pie was a holiday-inspired crisp from Pringles in the US, in Consumers could enjoy the sweet seasonal taste of pecan pie without the hassle of baking.
It was Pringles' second foray into sweet-flavoured crisps — the year before, the brand released the unanimously despised White Chocolate Peppermint crisp. I say "probably not British", incidentally, because a recipe for "fried potato shavings" was reportedly printed in America as early as , in a book based on an even earlier collection of recipes from England. There again, when the first confirmed sighting of native British crisps was reported, in , they were being made in London by a man called Carter, who had supposedly stumbled across them in France.
So who knows? In , Smith's Potato Crisps Company Ltd was formed in Cricklewood, north London, with Mrs Smith peeling, slicing and frying the potatoes in the garage and Frank Smith packing them into greaseproof bags later with a pinch of salt in a twist of blue paper inside and selling them across London from his pony and trap.
The firm was so successful it had moved to new premises and hired 12 full-time staff before its first year was out. The company ran into trouble in the Depression, however, undergoing the humiliation of being rescued by its Australian subsidiary. But hard times proved the start of something big and beautiful for Mr Henry Walker, a successful pork butcher in Leicester.
In the years immediately after the second world war he was facing bankruptcy, as rationing saw his shops in Cheapside and Oxford Street, London, cleared of meat before 10am, with nothing left to sell. He went for crisps because of the difficulties of handling meat and dairy products together.
Walkers began in above the Oxford Street premises, with a staff of eight and Gerrard himself as head cook. The crisps were hand cut with a vegetable slicer, cooked in a chip-shop fryer, sprinkled with salt and sold for thruppence a packet under the slogan Potato Crisps by Walkers: Guaranteed Absolutely Pure. They went down a bomb, and Walkers — which long ago swallowed Smith's, and is now part of the mammoth PepsiCo conglomerate — never looked back helped in no small measure, since , by the inspired choice of local lad Gary Lineker to front its advertising campaigns.
We're no closer, though, to knowing why crisps are so big in Britain. What makes us, and so few others, so peculiarly partial to the potato chip? There are plenty of theories. For Fort, it's mostly down to our unique relationship with the potato. Plus, we've always been a grazing, snacking culture — look at our eating opportunities, we have more than anyone else: breakfast, elevenses, lunch, tea, high tea, supper, dinner.
The French, the Italians, the Spaniards, eat twice a day, max. They're not snackers. The crisp is the perfect food for us. Stillman reckons it has a lot to do with our high consumption of sandwiches, for which crisps are "an ideal complement", and of beer ditto : "The creaminess of the potato, the salt and sweetness of the flavouring, the bitter of the beer; it all works. Although the spectacularly competitive British market remember Golden Wonder?
The second major event was the arrival on these shores, in , of an Oregon businessman called Cameron Earl, who brought with him a concept known as the Kettle Chip: thick, gnarled, irregular, crunchy, authentically flavoured and naturally more expensive.
This was the premium product the hitherto classless world of the crisp had been waiting for, and it wasn't long before we saw an array of home-grown, artisan-inspired, hand-fried, organic rivals: Tyrrells, Burt's, Piper's and the rest.
Walkers jumped in, too, with Sensations.
