Walkers 'new' flavours

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

The fish and chip ones are revolting ...No one in our house liked them so they've ended up in the bin ..yuk, yuk, yuk!!!

kiddiz · 16/02/2009 16:21

And I like fish and chips....but not if they tasted like that. Don't know where the good people at Walkers buy their fish and chips but they really need to find a new chippy!!

I just love Charlie Brooker's description of Chilli and Chocolate: 'a boring man with halitosis explains the taste of charcoal to your tastebuds.'

It's a disgusting crisp haiku.

You get Ulster Breakfast flavour in Ireland. Yukky.

sockmonkey · 17/02/2009 10:11

Mumsnet flavours -
Woven Lental
Lemon Drizzle Cake
I'd second the "nice ham"

Fish and chips - UBER Scank!
Duck - Hmmmmm ok but not great

Builders breakfast taste of the worst kind of fart, (as if the farter had MRSA or Salmonella).

We have caved into consumerism and let the kids try all the other flavours, they are all unspeakably horrid.

UnquietDad · 18/02/2009 22:22

The only one I have tried is the chilli and chocolate, because someone was in a meeting I was in and was making people try them. I tried one small one. It was vile. The crisp of Satan. I wnated a big glass of water afterwards to get rid of the taste.

mileniwmffalcon · 18/02/2009 22:26

lol our half term science project (dds 5 and 20mo) is to taste a flavour a day (except the chocolate ones yuk) and write up our findings on a huge chart . builder's breakfast sounded promising but egg flavour crisps are just wrong it turns out. onion bhaji quite pleasant, just spicy cheese and onion really. which reminds me must buy more for tomorrow.

"They taste precisely like a tiny cat piping hot farts through a pot-pourri pouch into your mouth."
Charlie Brookers very accurate description of Cajun Squirrel.

YUCK

sockmonkey · 19/02/2009 08:36

The thing is, I really wanted to like the duck & hoi sin. It's just too sickly.

mileniwmffalcon · 22/02/2009 20:45

actually i thought the duck and squirrel ones were both pretty good so nerr to charlie brooker. sadly dd1 is suffering a mystery illness and has completely lost her appetite so i had to finish our project unaided

prettyfly1 · 23/02/2009 17:12

dh and i have just gorged ourselves on four of these new flavours (in the name of research mind!). BLOODY VILE. I am actually giving serious thought to getting my old and much hated tongue scraper out, to remove any possible residue of this mornings fried egg a.k.a - builders breakfast, the onion baji taste like my partners sweaty pits after a night out with the boys smells, chocolate chilli, like a really nasty room freshener and cajun squirrel. Which, seeing how it doesnt contain squirrel, must convtrevene some kind of false advertising law - not that i care because they too are VILE.
