Ritz Crisp & Thin Sea Salt & Vinegar Flavour

Here's another packet of crispy crunchy Crisp & Thin snacks from Ritz. And we liked these just as much as we liked the Cream Cheese & Onion flavour.

Everyone who tried these lovely light snacks said "vinegary" which is true. But after all, it does say vinegar on the packet. And it's not the far-too-strong-makes-your-tongue-curl-up style of vinegar, but a very acceptable tasty vinegary sharpness. And just the right amount of sea salt.

In fact Ritz (owned by Mondelez International, the American confectionery, food & beverage conglomerate) seem to have made all the right moves with this great new crispy snack.

Fine little biscuits rather than crisps, Crisp & Thins are made from a mix of potato flour, cornstarch, wheat flour and oat bran.

And very nice too. I would certainly put them on my shopping list - if I didn't have a mission to try as many different types of crispy snack as possible. But definitely one to try again.

Plus there are two more flavours to seek out. A treat in store.
And here are a few more photographs of the fabulous Haddon Hall where the garden makes great use of the lovely old stone walls. Worth a detour? No! Worth a special trip.

Ritz Crisp & Thin Cream Cheese & Onion Flavour

I had seen these new Crisp & Thin crispy snacks from Ritz advertised on one of the many many commercial channels available these days. And then I saw them on sale at... you've guessed... a motorway service station.

Yup. Road trip! To Derbyshire this time. And another chance to patronise the ever fruitful shopping opportunity that is the motorway service station.

I poured this little 30g packet into a bowl at work and allowed the reluctant taste testers free rein.

I liked this crispy snack a lot. The taste testers liked them too. So much so that there were none left to take home for the Chef to try. I really should have saved a few.

This is a very nice crispy snack. Lovely light crunch, interesting slightly hexagonal shape, and a light cheesy oniony flavour. The cream cheese works very well and gives a softer more gentle flavour than cheddar. Or, as so often these days, mature cheddar.

There was much praise in the office for this new snack. We were all very impressed.

And because we'd gone to Derbyshire we visited the wonderful Haddon Hall again.
