And here, plucked from a multi pack, is the unadulterated version of Walkers Squares. Well, it’s what we in the UK call ready salted. Because in the olden days, the first years of crisp manufacturing, you got a packet of fried potato slices and a little blue bag of salt which you untwisted and added the salt yourself. Only then was the huge technological leap of the ready salted crisp invented. Or indeed the ready salt & vinegared or ready cheese & onioned crisp, but of course we don’t call them that.
Anyway, with just salt as the flavour, you can taste just how different reconstituted potato products are from potato crisps.nice texture, easy to eat. I rather like the flavour but would I want to eat them every day? I think not.
Here’s another square snack I think I must have liked better, from Marks & Spencer.
In other matters, recently someone was referred to this blog by Wikipedia. I wish I knew how that happened. Oh look at that… it’s here. Scroll down. I wasn’t expecting ever to be a reference on Wikipedia.
