Well, this is one of the weirder crispy snacks I have attempted.
I am quite surprised.
Honestly, I am not exactly sure what I was expecting. But it wasn’t this.
I picked up this packet of shitake mushroom crisps on a whim. I walked past them in the shop, thought why not, and picked them up. For better or worse. And then I noticed the dread words “gravy flavour”.
Before I opened the packet I think I was expecting finely chopped mushrooms, as if they were crisps. And then I thought maybe there would be a gravy sauce. I don’t know why. And quite obviously I hadn’t bothered to look at the photograph on the front of the packet carefully enough.
I didn’t squidge the packet but if I had I would have realised the gravy sauce wasn’t going to happen and it basically turned out to be a lot of flavour dust. A lot of flavour dust. But seriously, what flavour even is gravy?
And the mushrooms? Whole mushrooms apparently freeze dried into incredibly crispy crunchy crackly mushrooms. Have you ever tried Edinburgh rock? A bit like that. Or maybe a little like the consistency of chalk. Sort of. Too weird. A whole freeze dried mushroom is, as I said, not what I was expecting. Honestly, I’m not even sure I noticed any flavour.
I tried this weird snack with Cliffs of Moher Taste Tester and she didn’t really fancy this either.
