Kev's Snack Reviews

My last review of Walkers new sandwich-inspired is finally here...and I've saved the "best" til last, it's Bacon & Tomato Ketchup! Now some people prefer Brown Sauce with a bacon butty...but Walkers don't care about that and went with tomato ketchup aka Red Sauce. These are vegetarian, strangely enough, but not vegan as they contain dairy. They're in most supermarkets for around 50p or so right now and you can win £10,000 in their online competition. On eating them I first could taste the traditional bacon flavour, they were pretty much like regular Bacon flavour Walkers crisps...but then there's the sweeter tomato flavour in the aftertaste, and it's quite strong. It's a bit too sweet actually and kind of detracts from the bacon. I enjoyed these but they're not one of the best of the new flavours. Overall, these are okay but they're not as good as regular bacon flavour walkers crisps. They're a nice novelty for the time ...

Walkers recently unleashed a new range of sandwich inspired crisps upon the public...and I've alreday tried the unusual but tasty Cucumber, Cheese and Salad Cream variety as well as Ham and Mustard. This time around I just had to go for Chicken and Mayo, as I've always loved Walkers Chicken flavour crisps since I was a kid. I was curious what the addition of mayonaise flavouring would bring to the mix... Well, turns out it doesn't add much flavour-wise to these crisps. They taste pretty similar to regular Walkers Chicken flavour crisps, but perhaps with a creamier, sweeter edge. It's not particularly obvious but I suppose I can see how it's suppsoed to be chicken and mayonnaise flavour. They're nice, but nothing that stands out amongst the other flavours in the range. Stay tuned for my review of the Sausage and Brown Sauce variety...I may even give the Bacon & Ketchup ones a go too! 7.5 out of 10.
