It seems hot and spicy crisps are the in flavour at the minute and the latest offering are these McCoy’s Fire Pit Peri-Peri variety. They are a crinkle cut crisps and as they are McCoys they are also quite thick cut and crunchy. I poured some out onto the plate to have with a sausage roll. The crisps seem to have a fair bit of seasoning and smelt nice and spicy. The crinkles always catch lots of spice.
I gave one a try and was impressed with the heat, the chilli was quite strong which is unusual with crisps. Weirdly though there was a sweet aftertaste. I tried a few more and as much as I was enjoying the heat and the spice I was distracted by the sugar. I think this was supposed to be a way of making the McCoy’s Fire Pit Peri-Peri Crisps crisps tangy but it didn’t work for me. Hot then sweet and can work as a dish, I’ve eaten many a meal with noodles with that flavour but here it just ended up as fiery followed by random sugar. As much as I liked the fact the crisps are hot and actually pack a proper heat, that blast of sugar meant these won’t be a repurchase.
