I am gobsmacked. This Beef Brisket & Black Perppercorn crisp really tastes as if it was made with actual meat. Or meat extract. Or something. But no. It is actually suitable for vegetarians.
Now Vegetarian Taste Tester tells me that no amount of “oh yes all the ingredients are suitable for veggies” style info on the back of crisp packets makes any difference. If the packet is labelled Beef Brisket she’s just not going to try it. I wonder how many vegetarians this applies to.
And I do wonder if crisp manufacturers are trying to woo vegetarians with totally veggie flavours that sound meaty, or are creating meaty flavours (that are in fact veggie) because that’s what they think people want.
Ha to say. But if you ask my stepdaughter they’re going in the wrong direction.
And honestly, I am not mad about these crisps. They smell, not exactly meaty, but not veggie. A little bit marmite. They look tasty. Nice crinkle cut. Yum.
Except…there’s a sort of greasy aftertaste that I’m not a big fan of. I noticed that Cliffs of Moher Taste Tester was able to eat a lot more than me.
