Crisps

In the UK, 'chips' are 'crisps,' and they are the snack of choice-half of all children here eat a packet per day, which translates into five gallons of oil per year.

Flavourings go way beyond "sour cream and onion", "barbecue", and "nacho cheese."  Walker's, the most popular crisp manufacturer, just introduced 15 new flavours:


Other flavours include:
  • Sausage
  • Tomato
  • Scampi
  • Roast ox
  • Lamb and mint sauce
  • Maple-smoked barbecue
  • Blue stilton and port
  • Cranberry, sage and thyme
  • Prawn cocktail
  • Ketchup
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Roast turkey with sage and onion ("Merry Crispmas")
  • Roast chicken
  • Steak & onion
  • Smoky bacon
  • Ham & mustard
  • BBQ rib
  • Pickled onion
  • Branston Pickle 
  • Marmite 
  • Thai sweet chili
  • Roast pork & creamy mustard sauce
  • Lime and Thai spices
  • Chicken with Italian herbs
  • Turkey & bacon
  • Caramelized onion & sweet balsamic vinegar
  • Stilton & cranberry
  • Mango chili
  • Buffalo mozzarella tomato and basil
  • Mature cheddar with beer
  • Hedgehog
Oddly, most of these are vegetarian.
