It wasn’t that long ago I first discovered Fridge Raiders and thought they were a wonderful new chicken snack. Exploring the isles in Morrison’s I spotted these Wicked Pig snacks, which are a similar concept, only made of pork.
I decided to try them for the first time at work, as an afternoon snack. When I opened the bag I was a little overwhelmed by the smell! Think ridiculously strong garlic / chicken stuffing aroma filling the office. Thankfully the taste was a lot tamer (these are supposed to be the plainest variety).
The flavour was meaty with a strong but reasonable amount of herbs and garlic. The texture was soft, but inconsistent like minced meat patties. They made a rather enjoyable snack, and they got the office thumbs up. However there is quite a heavy garlic aftertaste that lingers longer than desired. Tasty, but don’t eat them just before an important meeting!
Thanks for your kind words - if you like Wicked Pig, you'll love our new comedy website. check it out at www.stytv.co.uk
ReplyDeleteThanks - i will be trying some of your other flavours very soon too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI just tried these - massive packets and it only had 7 pieces! Disappointing and over priced. Will stick to yummy fridgeraiders.
ReplyDeleteAnon - know what you mean about the bag size! Fridgeraiders seem to have less strong aroma too.
ReplyDeleteWas very disappointed with the 7 little pieces in the bottom of a rather oversized bag. Good job they were on a special low price as wouldnt have been happy paying alot for them. Dont think will buy again.
ReplyDeleteI share another's comment about the derisory content of actual product in the pack. Just looked at their forecasted sales. They'll make a nice chunk of money but i imagine most mums will buy them once, pack their kids off and then be met with 'mum, there was hardly any in the pack' - and never buy them again. 7 pieces in a pack that size (suspiciously like fridge raiders) is a poor show. so, i bet the sales graph will peak and then slowly tail off - even with the entry-market discounts. no one likes being ripped off and even at 2 for a £1, i won't buy them again
ReplyDeleteJust tried your southern fried snack.Over priced over rated massive packet only 7 pieces and on top of all that every piece was green mouldy.needless to say i will never buy your snacks again
ReplyDeleteThis website is a food review blog, you need to contact the company.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a burst bag or something. Why not let the company who manufacturer them know - I'm sure they would want to investigate. Also you could let the shop you bought them from know too, I'm sure they would want to help.
