It's not often we go to visit Ludlow Castle, in Shropshire, but the odd visit here and there is usually a good drive passed Bridgnorth, home of steam trains in that county of the UK. There has been a shop in Ludlow town that sells often weird and wonderful delicatessen for many years. We were glad to see it still open after the pandemic and the varying other hardships that had started before that. It was at this shop that we picked up quite a few items, including these Howdah Tandoor Chilli Ancient Grain Chips.
I'm hoping that when they say 'Ancient' on the packet, Howdah Foods mean 'traditional' rather than how old the ingredients were they used in this snack's production. Described as 'crisp ribbons made with ancient grains and dry-spiced with cumin, chilli and Tandoor spices' these crisps didn't fail to make my mouth water in the shop.
On opening the packet there was a spicy curry aroma from the ribbed ribbon crisps inside. On first crunchy taste these Howdah Tandoor Chilli Ancient Grain Chips are good. I mean really good. Moreish to the extreme and did I mention crunchy? The mixed spices in these Tandoor Chilli Grain Chips washed around my mouth leaving me wanting more and more.
I was immediately glad I'd left enough calories free to polish off the entire packet. I liked the texture of the crisps too. When I first put some in my mouth I worried they'd be dry, but the spices just made my mouth water, and the chilli left me with a satisfying medium burn. Gosh, we're going to have to go and get some more from Ludlow soon. Very soon.
