Specially Selected Spicy Chorizo and Turkey Flavour Crisps (Aldi) By @Cinabar

I can’t pronounce chorizo; it is one of those words that I want to say phonetically but know that is wrong. It is on my list, along with jalapeño and fajita, of various foods I hate ordering in restaurants. Not to worry, this is a packet of crisps, and I didn’t have to say it out loud, which is a relief.

Clearly, Aldi was looking at their Christmas range and thinking to themselves, how do we spice up turkey-flavoured crisps? They then very literally added spicy chorizo to the mix. It may not be traditional, but it sounded good to me. Inside the bag were crinkle cut medium thickness crisps with plenty of seasoning. I gave one a try, and these were so lovely and meaty. I was impressed that I could taste the turkey and even a butter like richness from the meat, followed by a more bacon like flavour and a good hit of spice. After a few crisps, the warmth from the chorizo builds up and develops into a nice heat. These crisps are gorgeous and have such a good flavour. They are perfect for those of us who love meaty crisps. They may not be traditional, but I think they are my favourite crisps from Aldi’s Christmas range.
