Red Leicester Cheesies

These tiny cubes of cheesy crispy snack are slightly larger than, say, a rice crispy. But with a rather different bite. They are very light so you don’t get many cubes in your 20g packet.

I must say I was a little surprised at the flavour. Many cheesy snacks are very sweet. And not actually all that cheesy. These Red Leicester Cheesies are not at all sweet, more sharp, and actually do taste of cheese. 

Perhaps this is because the only ingredient is cheese. The packet tells us there are no carbs, no sugar and no junk. And also they are carefully labelled high protein. Everything has to be full of protein these days, doesn’t it? Instagram is even full of people drinking protein coffee which I think I will manage without.

I’m not sure that I would want to eat more than 20g of these Cheesies at a time, but I might change my mind if I had a glass of nicely chilled white wine to hand. Or perhaps a dry sherry.

Not the most photogenic of snacks but you can see that I ate most of them before I thought to take a photograph.

By the way, I shouldn’t have to say this but I will: nothing that appears on this blog has anything to do with AI. I eat all my own snacks and write all my own words using my own brain. Scientists keep telling us that using our brains is a good thing so I will try to continue doing just that.
