Walkers Hot Dog with Tomato Ketchup

Another Do Us a Flavour crisp flavour from Walkers, and the new "vote for" flavour was suggested by Sarah. Read about it all here if you want to know more.

OK, so this flavour, although it clams to be hot dog, is in fact suitable for vegetarians. So no hot dogs were harmed in the manufacture of these crisps. The flavour seems to be mostly tomatoes from the Vale of Evesham, onion powder and smoke extract (which never sounds terrifically appealing somehow).

Not bad. Usual Walkers crunch, fairly golden colour, very handsome crisps really, and a mostly tomatoey taste.

I'm sorry Walkers, and Sarah, but although there is nothing whatever wrong with these crisps I'm really not sure they merit being a finalist in a national competition. I wonder how often you have to look at the Walkers website to know that they will be asking for new crisp flavours for a competition? I have looked fairly often in recent months but never noticed anything so interesting. It's often quite tough to get past the images of Gary Lineker or the pages that look like this.

Well well, yet another crisp flavour that leaves us not terribly impressed.
