Walkers Nando’s Peri-Peri Chicken Flavour Crisps (Ocado) By @Cinabar

Walkers Nando’s Peri-Peri Chicken Flavour Crisps
Of all the crisps in the world my favourite ones are chicken flavoured. Of all the chain restaurants in the world my favourite is Nando’s, so I think my love of chicken might be shining through and the idea of the combination of the restaurant and crisp flavour all in one was sounding rather perfect. So these Nando’s Peri-Peri Chicken Flavour Crisps are part of Walkers restaurant range where they are recreating their popular dishes as crisps. We decided to try out the crisps one lunch time with a sandwich and yoghurt. They smelt rather lovely, plenty of spices.

I gave one a try and much to my surprise it wasn’t that exciting. I have no idea how or why. The chicken flavour on the crisps was there, there was peri-peri and something acidic like lemon and they were nice. They weren’t very hot in terms of chilli heat and they didn’t taste like Nano’s Medium of Lemon and Herb just some weird combination of both of those. I can’ possibly say they weren’t nice, they just weren’t special. I found myself eating them wishing I’d picked up a bag of the burger flavour also recently released. Who knew. Spectre too agreed; “they are ok” was his opinion. Seriously folks if you can’t mix my favourite food with crisps and come up with something that I love something has gone wrong. Have you tried them? Were my expectations just too high?

I thought exactly the same bit of a let down really! I did try the katsu curry ones and they were delicious!

Glad it isn't just me - and yes the Katsu are lovely too, agreed! :-)

The thing I can't believe is that it's taken so long for Nandos crisps to be a thing! I also can't believe they didn't call it "cheeky chicken Nandos flavour." Come on! It writes itself! I also can't believe in Santa because he didn't bring me what I wanted. I can believe they are not that nice tho.
