Lay's Σνακ Δημητριακών Ολικής Αλεσης Sour Cream & Black Pepper

Which appears to mean Lay's whole grain cereal snacks sour cream and black pepper flavour. It's complicated using google translate when you have to use a greek keyboard too. Complicated stuff.

This sort of corrugated or radiator design snack is just like the Marks & Spencer version of this crispy snack (also sour cream and black pepper). Sunchips whole grain snacks are the same shape too. It's obviously a thing.

But why is it a thing? Who decided that whole grain snacks had to be this shape? I imagine we will never find out.

It's not an exciting snack, but somehow you find yourself going back for another. And again. More than once. Because this sour cream and black pepper snack has a nice, gentle flavour, and a pleasant light crunch. Not bad at all. Yes please, I'll have another.

Brought back by Tech taste tester from Cyprus where he was visiting his girlfriend's parents. A good choice.

Propercorn Sour Cream & Black Pepper Popcorn

Another packet of Propercorn popcorn, another packet of proper popcorn. and quite an interesting taste too.

I know not everyone enjoys sour cream as an addition to a crispy snack; it can take a bit of getting used to but I felt it worked quite well here. And the heat of the black pepper with the cool of the sour cream seemed to me to be a good combination.

Very nice popcorn. Just the right light airy consistency that you want.

And here's a visitor to our garden. He was asleep in the middle of the lawn when I got up this morning. He could see me standing at my bedroom window so I didn't want to risk opening it. I only just picked up my camera in time to grab a shot or two. Next minute he was sneaking off through the hedge.

M&S Wholegrain Snacks Sour Cream & Black Pepper

This is only part of the packaging. I chopped the bottom off because it was see through and there was nothing to see but the inside of the back of the packet.

This corrugated-cardboard-style crispy snack (thanks Tall taste tester) looks a bit dull. And truth to tell, it isn't very exciting. Pleasant but dull you might think.

But somehow it grows on you. And the black pepper aftertaste becomes more interesting. And gradually I found I could have eaten quite a lot of this little packet.

Do you remember how the terrifically dull-looking Kelloggs Bran Flakes used by be advertised with an annoyingly memorable jingle they're tasty, tasty, very very tasty, they're very tasty or words to that effect? That's sort of what you get here. Although actually I think Bran Flakes were even more flavoursome.

Anyway, not bad at all, and possibly better for you than you think because of course it's a wholegrain snack.
