The Best Venison & Red Wine Crisps (Morrisons) By @Cinabar
As Christmas is on its way i have seen quite a few different own brand makes of crisps adding a turkey dinner style variety to the premium range. I love meaty crisps so I’m fine with this, but I was excited to see these venison crisps added to the Morrisons “The Best” posh range.
The crisps are smartly packaged in a premium bag and the crisps sound rather fancy even including a splash of red wine. We shared the bag one lunchtime to test them out. The aroma from the bag was lovely, but remarkably similar to beef flavour crisps. This led to a discussion about the difference in flavour of beef and venison meats and the realisation that none of us has had venison that often.
The crisps are the right texture for me, they are a little thicker than standard multipack bags but not so thick that they are over crunchy and unpleasant. I loved the flavour of these crisps and do feel bad for saying they are beefy but that is how they taste to me. The flavour is very smooth and perhaps that is what should make them stand out as venison rather than beef, but perhaps that could be attributed to the addition of red wine too. Either way these crisps are rich, meaty, tasty and easy eating. They would be perfect for sharing over the festive season, and it doesn’t get much posher than being able to say to visitors; “venison crisps anyone?”.
