Kettle Bites Mozzarella & Pesto Lentil Curls

Here's another new little bag of Kettle Bites. And this one has a whole 2 calories extra compared to the Maple Barbecue Waves. 2 whole calories? Amazing. Mind you, there do seem to be a lot more lentil curls than you get waves.

I rather like lentil curls as a crispy snack shape. They really do seem to work well with a good crunch and a great shape. But I'm not so sure about the flavour here. I don't terribly like pesto (I always feel I ought to like it and keep trying but I just discover yet again that I don't, much) and these curls do seem to be particularly pesto-tasty. Not sure the mozzarella shines through.

However, that didn't stop me quite enjoying this tasty little snack. And certainly none of the reluctant taste testers had any reservations; or none that they voiced. Extremely Senior Volunteer taste tester seemed particularly fetched.

Not bad, then? Yup. Not bad at all. Better yet if you like pesto.
And yes, since you asked, this is another road trip find.

M Signature Limited Edition Mozzarella & Pesto Hand Cooked Crisps

This packet of crisps was brought into the office by the senior taste tester who I suppose shops at Morrisons.

I don't usually shop there, but I see they do a number of own brand crispy snacks so I might take a bus in a Northerly direction in the not too distant future to see what they have in stock. Or as the TV commercials so odiously put it these days "in store".

So the senior taste tester set out a bowlful of crisps. Some of the the reluctant taste testers really liked this flavour, and some of them didn't.

Someone said they were very good and just exactly like pesto. And someone else said the taste was all chemically and horrible and she didn't like them at all.

I have to admit that to me they tasted so exactly like the brand of pesto I have decided I really dislike that I fall into the not liking them camp. Plus there wasn't much evidence of mozzarella which is a great shame.

Nice looking crisps, good dark golden colour, but a much harder crunch than I was expecting.

It definitely would be worth trying other flavours if I can find them.
