REAL The BAG with a bit more character says the packet.
Noble Friend found this packet of crisps at the BBC when she went to the recording of a radio comedy show. And while she enjoyed the show, what she brought back for me and the reluctant taste testers to try was this little packet of salt & vinegar crisps.
REAL crisps are a little bit thicker cut than average, nicely hand cooked, a pretty good crisp. And a very pleasant old fashioned style salt & vinegar flavour.
This is a nice crisp. But I don't know about you; I really don't admire the packaging design.

The London Crisp Co. Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar Handcooked Crisps
Skateboarder flavour crisps!
No. Sadly (sadly? perhaps it's just as well) not. Salt & Vinegar.
Inspired by London's South Bank it says on the packet. Not at all sure why London's South Bank should make anyone think of Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar as a flavour for a crisp. Who can say?
Not sure either why a skateboarder seemed like a good image for a packet of Salt & Vinegar crisps but I do know why it's a good image for the South Bank; because the South Bank Centre situated on the South bank of the river Thames (can you credit it?) is a very haven for skateboarders. I haven't been down there for a while but it used to be infested with skaters.
As for using an image of St Paul's Cathedral... it's not even on the South Bank. But you can see it. I must stop being so picky.
Nice little crisps, hand cooked with the skin left on, good crunch, and interestingly some of the crisps are very salt & vinegary while some are not. Pretty tasty though.
Not the most sensational crisps in the world but nothing at all wrong with them. Tasty and crunchy. Just how a crisp should be.

Salty Dog Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar
Me, me, me, me, me! Nobody wants to read about me or what I think. Or so I keep reading on all the "how to write a blog" pages. Every so often I go looking for some technical help, and there are some amazingly helpful bloggers out there supplying answers to all sorts of questions, but somehow all too often there's a bit about how nobody wants to read about me and my views.
That's a little bit sad isn't it? Especially as all the blogs I read regularly are personal views from real people about their real lives and real interests. And that's what makes what they write and the photos they post so interesting. The world might be a better place if we all read the thoughts of grannies from Yorkshire or wild flower fans from the Pacific North West ("categories chosen at random" pronounced in those portentous tones you hear in TV commercials).
Anyhow, I can't see how I could possibly review any packet of crisps (or crispy snack) without including my personal thoughts. Or those of the Chef (if available) or the reluctant taste testers (ditto).
And so here we have my thoughts on another variant on salt & vinegar.
Oh boy! Salty Dog say their crisps bite back; and I think these really do. This is salt & vinegar in the grand tradition. And the traditional tradition of salt & vinegar. Grrr.
Or perhaps not Grrr but Woof!
Um, these crisps have a great salt & vinegar aroma, skin left on for added taste, terrific crunch, nice colour...but I can't help feeling this is quite an old fashioned taste.
So if you are a big fan of the traditional style salt & vinegar crisp these are definitely for you. And very nice too. But, if like me, you prefer a more subtle taste then perhaps you won't like them so much.
But that's OK. Because if we were all the same life would be dreadfully dull don't you think?
