Walkers Max: Peperoni Feast from Pizza Hut (Iceland) By @Cinabar

We are currently enjoying lots of new crisps flavours we have found in the shops. Some of the new flavours are Christmas-related (too soon), but we are working through the others first, as it still feels a little early for turkey crisps. So, today we are trying Walkers Max: Peperoni Feast, with the Pizza Hut logo on the bag too. We had them at lunchtime with some sandwiches yesterday.

I poured them on the plate, and as the crisps are part of the Max range from Walkers, they are ridged. The ridges caught the seasoning, and these crisps had a good dusting of a dark pink red on them. I gave one of the crisps a try, and firstly, I just wanted to say how nice the texture is on these. The crisps are thick, and the zigzags make them crunch, but they aren’t sharp. It is one of my favourite textures. The flavour, though, was pleasant, and it was hard to get past that. The taste was very much like pepperoni, and I don’t know why they didn’t quite do it for me, but the flavour didn’t seem to last long and melted away, just leaving a little chilli heat. I felt they lacked depth. They were pleasant, and I won’t mind eating the rest of the multipack, but I felt they could have been so much stronger. I actually had a second pack of these Walkers Max: Peperoni Feast today to make sure I wasn’t missing something, but I came away with the same opinion: oh well, you can’t win them all.
