British Grub: Turkey and stuffing with onion gravy crisps


What: Handcooked crisps - roast Norfolk turkey and stuffing with onion gravy
Where: Tesco
When: Festive season only
Price: £1.39


My first reaction when I saw the bag: do they really taste like turkey?! Yes, these crisps taste like roast turkey (from Norfolk!) and stuffing with onion gravy. The taste is quite overpowering, so a handful of crisps was enough for me. If you really want to the taste the flavours, lick the crisps. You will look like a fool, but you’ll taste everything better! (Don't ask how I ended up licking them).

Tesco’s Finest line includes more flavours: Wensleydale and cranberry cheese, spiced gammon and mince pie (aye, these crisps are sweet!). To my surprise, they were all created by Hans van Wolde, a Dutch gourmet chef! These crisps might not be so British after all…

3 stars. They're very nice, but only during the holiday season.
