What are people's thoughts on the several new flavours that walkers have out now for people to vote on? They are expensive at 54p a packet. The duck and hoisin flavor is awful i think but not tried any others.
They are all absolutely disgusting IMHO. I wouldn't spend the money on them and as for voting for them.....................
Builders Breakfast tastes of eggwhite. Fish and Chips is fishy Yeugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, so steer clear of 'Builders Breakfast', Fish n Chips', - surely the 'Onion Bhajee' one is worth tasting - akin to Cheese n onion maybe ?
What about 'Cajun Squirrel', 'Chocolate n Chilli' ?
I've tried them all apart from Onion Bhaji. I wouldn't choose to have any of the 5 again, though the Cajun Squirrel ones were probably the best of a not particularly nice bunch.
Chilli Chocolate were vile, the hit of egg you get now and again in the Builder's Breakfast ones was disgusting, and the Fish and Chips ones were just....really not nice. Other than that, a success all round!!
I suppose there are lots of people who DO like them though...
I took a packet of the chocolate n chilli ones to my local pub quiz and passed it around a few of the quiz teams. No-one, and I mean no-one liked them!
The taste of all Walkers Crisps nosedived when they changed to cooking them in SunSeed oil. ''Same great taste!'' they trumpeted. They should have been hauled up before the Advertising Standards people for making such a false claim!
Poundland has been selling 6 packs with different flavours of them for a while so have a look there. Having tried all of them, I must say im a fan of duck n hoisin, fish n chips and builder's breakfast. The others are ok with the worst flavour being chilli and chocolate.
You should try them and judge for yourself!
The best of a bad bunch is Builders Breakfast, where they have managed interestingly to have alternate crisps tasting (!) one of bacon, the next of egg. I agree that they nosedived when they switched to sunflower oil.
I got them on offer in sainsburys, 2x6packs for �2, so works out cheaper! My opinion is:
Onion Bhaji - definitely the nicest but not sure if I'd buy it ordinarily
Builder's breakfast - Quite nice but the aftertaste of egg put me off!
Duck and Hoi Sin - Not great but then i'm not keen on HS sauce
Chilli and chocolate - Horrible. Although my dog liked it
Fish and chip - Smelt like fishfood and didn't taste much better
Cajun Squirrel - Minging. Like lamb which i don't like
I've just been reading all your opinions and by the time I got to the end..... well, I feel absolutely sick. Haven't had much to eat which may explain it.
But I quite agree with most of you, Choc and Chilli flavour being the worst (I don't know how they're selling). The taste doesn't make sense. Cajun Squirrel's probably the best.
But I also found the fish n chips flavour does quite work flavour-wise, although I do hate it.
I found them to be like a lot of stuff I try... tasted fine the first time then horrible the second.
I put that down to having very low expectations and being surprised, which then turns in to a high expectation the second time around and that leads to disappointment.
Onion Bahji were possibly the best, but that's not saying much as they just tasted of curry powder more than anything.
