What a complicated name for a 40g packet of crisps! Remember all you fans of imperial measurements, 40g is a mere 1.41 ounces of crisp. Not a lot.
Here we have Marks & Spencer's Christmas crisps for 2014. 5% of the sale goes to Shelter which is a UK charity helping homeless people. Which is great but I rather wish it was more than 5%.
However, what do we really have here? Well, the potatoes are obviously stunning when you chop into them. I've looked on the Thompson & Morgan website - they sell lots of plants and seeds, and in the case of potatoes: tubers. And you can absolutely see that these crisps are hardly fiddled with at all. The factory has chopped up the Highland Burgundy potatoes and fried them. So you get a fancy red crisp with a white surround. Actually grown for you by a potato plant. Hurrah!
Lightly salted? Yes. Quite tasty but for me, there could have been a little more salt. You know I like my salt. And quite a hearty crunch. So not a bad crisp at all.
Yup. Pretty good. So buy some soon and support Shelter.
