My partner looks out for little snack things on her travels and picked these up from a garden centre I think. I assumed that it was the same people as the proppercorn, but this is a whole new company to try out which is even better.
It's what you'd expect - take a more interesting version of the crisp, add a more interesting twist on the flavour and then let it rip! Only 25 g here so it's very much a portion, but we'll forgive them for that.
And look at all those ingredients! Almost all sound like things you'd cook with which is always a good start and they are based in Cradely Heath near us - and Dublin too!
And they certainly look like mini poppadoms, and they seem to have survived well in transit due to being a little thicker than the ones we get from the lovely restaurants of Bearwood & Cape Hill.
It's just a glorified crisp really, but they are incredibly tasty. The Jalapeno is familiar, but not boring - and certainly isn't too powerful. It's like someone's put Mexican starter dips out instead of Indian ones. This in itself is an exciting combo, and coupled with the lovely rich poppadom itself makes for a very compelling snack. I expect these to end up winning those little award badges you see on all the good luxury snacks before long.
My advice is to get these into pubs and sell them (to me) alongside a nice selection of beers. Fantastic stuff, and interesting enough that I saved the second bag of a different flavour to try a bit later just like this!
