Tyrrell’s Hand Cooked Ham & Cranberry

Another ravishing packet design from Tyrrell’s for this interestingly flavoured crisp. Ham as a flavour? Perhaps. But cranberry? That’s a bit unusual isn’t it? And as Slightly Red Haired Bristolian agreed, isn’t this more of a Christmas flavour than March/April?

Actually none of the reluctant taste testers could discern the cranberry flavour. The crisps do have a dusting of cranberry powder, but also (slightly weirdly) blueberry and raspberry powder. Honestly I am not convinced these exciting powders contribute to the flavour... but obviously I haven’t tried without.

This is a tasty crisp. Lots of flavour dust, and richly coloured but somehow not really tasting of ham. I saved this packet until Tech taste tester came back from his energetic holidays. He loves meaty flavoured crisps, as does Slightly Red Haired Bristolian, and both were big fans of this crisp. As were Cliffs of Moher and Tall taste tester. Very popular. Almost all of the great big packet was eaten.

Nothing rouses the senses quite like this blissful marriage of scrumptious roast ham and that most triumphantly tart of fruitlets, the cranberry says the packet. Hmmn..... that sounds good doesn’t it?

Even if I didn’t think the crisps tasted of ham there’s a wonderful hammy aroma from the bag.

Quite unusual. But popular.
