Christmas: Tesco Finest Succulent Pigs in Blanket Crisps

This time next week we shall be so full it’s going to be an effort even to think about moving. A Christmas dinner is not a Christmas dinner without the simple delight of sausages wrapped in bacon. After the most surprisingly delicious Cocoa and Spiced Rum crisps I couldn’t turn down the Tesco Finest Succulent Pigs in Blanket. I recall Tesco doing these last year but I didn’t get around to trying them, so I am pleased to see they have made an appearance this festive period.  Pigs in Blankets seem to be a hard crisps to master.

Christmas: M&S Winter Berries and Prosecco Crisps

M&S are always ones to push the boundaries and make us question whether sweet can be made into salty and if drinks can be made into food. Well in this case we have both.

There really is nothing worse than a limp crisp!…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Every halloween Walkers seem to give us the same two crisp variations, Wotsits Zombie Fingers and Monster Munch Bacon Webs. To tell you how fantastic my local supermarkets are it was’t until Halloween did I find these crisps. Thankfully this year they seemed to have got their planning caps on and these have graced our shelves along with other ghoulish goodies well in advance.  I must confess that for whatever reason last year’s Wotsits Zombie Fingers tasted a bit odd, yes I checked they were still in date! This year I have decided to give them another go…

Now I picked a very sensible flavour, to be disclosed nearer the time, however I was a bit like errrrr why are you buying these when the fathership put Tesco Finest Cocoa & Spiced Rum Crisps in the trolley. Bizarre doesnt quite cover it.  These new crisps are part of Tesco Finest Limited Edition range, I am not sure what provoked such quirky crisp flavouring, I suppose it could air on the festive side with the spiced…
