Walkers 'new' flavours

40 replies

Iklboo · 16/02/2009 13:36

Is it just me, or are some of them utterly vile?

I don't like the chilli & chocolate or the fish & chip flavours at all (DH had to buy the multipacks to try), cajun squirrel is OK, onion bhaji a bit odd, Builder's Breakfast tastes like a Wonka 3-course-meal gum and duck & hoisin tasted like cucumber.

Think I'll stick to me salt & vinegar and be boring

have you read this?
pmsl.....
I am not in the UK so won't have the dubious pleasure of trying them out...

CuriousSquid · 16/02/2009 13:41

wtf is the squirrel flavour all about??

CuppaTeaJanice · 16/02/2009 13:42

It is very sneaky of Walkers not to do a 6 pack with all 6 flavours in.

Cajun squirrel - just chicken flavour
Fish & Chips - cold fishy leftovers
Duck & Hoisin - odd

I might buy the others later to try.

The whole shortlist is a bit uninspired though - fish & chip crisps have been available for years. There were some interesting looking entries - pity they didn't pick them.

paddingtonbear1 · 16/02/2009 13:42

some of the names put me off!
The fish and chip ones were OK but not great.

paddingtonbear1 · 16/02/2009 13:43

there used to be a snack called 'fish n chips', they were like crisps but in the shape of fish and chips! Really salty but I loved them. Not seen them for years.

CuriousSquid · 16/02/2009 13:47

they were nice PB1 !

mamadiva · 16/02/2009 13:48

I've only tried 3 and none of them are particularly nice.

Cajun Squirrel tastes like roast chicken, onion bhaji tastes like cheese and onion and the builders breakfast well, they taste of shite.

Rotten rotten rotten builders breakfast is by far the worst.

ToiletRollCover · 16/02/2009 13:48

Fish and chips flavour made me want to throw-up. Builders breakfast was quite yummy! Like those Frazzles bacon crisps.

Iklboo · 16/02/2009 13:51

See I KNEW we should have sent in 'DS nappy' flavour idea

I've tried 5 of the 6, have a bag of chocolate and chili still to be tasted.

Fish and chips were lovely. My favourite by far.

Onion bhaji, not bad, pleasant enough but needs more flavour.

Builders breakfast, just about edible but I wouldn't buy them again, the initial egg taste is very unpleasant, once you get past that they aren't too bad.

Duck and Hoisin. Ok but not great. I don't like the cucumber note in them, I love cucumber but it doesn't work in a crisp. Wouldn't buy again.

Cajun squirrel. Not very pleasant, like a meatier roast chicken crisp.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 16/02/2009 14:01

Just had cajun squirrel and it's just like bog standard so-called cajun anything.

I think they should have themed them on good honest offal - liver, brains and tripe.

TrillianAstra · 16/02/2009 14:02

We had 3 bags in the pub.
Duck went pretty quickly
Onion bhaji second
Builder's brekfast didn't get finished. Bacon flavour crisps aren't great anyway, and the eggyness makes it worse.

CharleeheartsherChains · 16/02/2009 14:08

I really like the Builders Breakfast ones i think they taste like fried Eggs!

Not keen on Chilli and Choc and i really don't like the Fish and Chip ones.

I haven't tried the othets yet but many people say Cajun Squiz tastes like Chicken.

Iklboo · 16/02/2009 14:12

Everything tastes like chicken

OK then - let's have mumsnets crisps!

I vote for:

Pea & Ham soup flavour
Chicken Kiev flavour
Saturday night kebab flavour

I'm going to be brave and try the chili and chocolate right now.

Thunderduck · 16/02/2009 14:18

Just tried the chili and chocolate. OMG they are the worst of the lot. I had to spit it out, couldn't even swallow it.

thumbwitch · 16/02/2009 14:20

I can't even find them - my local supermarkets don't seem to be stocking them. Don't somehow think I'm missing out much...

thumbwitch · 16/02/2009 14:23

ROTO - that was a great link, thanks! pmsl

Stitchwort · 16/02/2009 14:24

Mmmmmm Chicken Kiev flavour crisps - that would be a work of genius!!

Kathyis6incheshigh · 16/02/2009 14:27

I too will buy your chicken kiev flavour.

What about black olive flavour?

CuriousSquid · 16/02/2009 15:07

Surely the ultimate MN flavour would be Nice Ham

CuriousSquid · 16/02/2009 15:07

thumbwitch · 16/02/2009 15:35

devilsavacado · 16/02/2009 15:51
