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.

The London Crisp Co. Sea Salt Hand Cooked Crisps

Here's an interesting little packet of crisps. Soho inspired Sea Salt it says on the back of the packet. Aside from some alliteration I can't quite think why Soho (in the centre of London) should inspire sea salt but who cares. The Chef & I try to go to Soho once a year when Stacey Kent sings at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club. But we've never had crisps there.

It also says hand cooked in the centre of London....hmmn. In fact, hand cooked in NW10. Not so very central. But let's not be over picky.

These crisps were created to be eaten in your local with a pint of beer. Sorry, make that enjoyed in London's brilliant boozers. I suppose I do have a local pub but I almost never go there, and if I did I shouldn't drink beer. But that's another story.

Nice little crisps with the skin left on. Quite a hard crunch, these crisps are thicker than some. Not a bad colour and a nice traditional sea salty taste.

Pretty good.

The packaging is fun isn't it?
