My stepson, who shall remain nameless, went to the Masters this year. And while he was there he spotted packets of Masters themed crisps and thought ooh I expect Georgina would be interested. Did he buy me a packet to taste test? Have a guess.
For those not in the know, the Masters is one of the most famous golf tournaments in the world. British golfers want to win the Open, preferably at St Andrews, American golfers want to win the US Open (I don’t know what their course of choice would be), but everyone wants to win the Masters.
Held at Augusta in Georgia, the Masters is perhaps one of the very few sporting events that might also interest enthusiastic gardeners. The course is beautifully landscaped with big trees and planted with masses of azaleas and dogwoods which are usually in full flower during the tournament.
Like all events these days there is merchandise to buy. Glastonbury socks anyone? Obviously most of the merch available at Augusta is golf related, but the food is also branded.
I understand that these crisps are available in plain (ready salted) and Bar-B-Que flavours. And have I got a packet to try? Nope.
But I thought you might be interested. And that’s a very odd spelling of barbecue.
