Chorizo and Cheddar Ridge Cut Crisps (Morrisons) By @Cinabar

I always end up scanning the crisps aisle, even when we’ve only popped in for something basic like bread. It’s just a habit now, and one I have no intention of breaking. I particularly love meaty flavours, so when I spotted these bright orange own-brand Chorizo and Cheddar Ridge Cut Crisps in Morrisons, they immediately ended up in the basket.

The packet proudly claimed they were “big on flavour”, which always makes me a bit sceptical, but I was hopeful. Once opened, the aroma was lightly meaty with a hint of smokiness. The crisps themselves had great ridges and were nicely covered in seasoning, not patchy or dusty like some can be.

The first bite took me by surprise. I was expecting something fairly generic, maybe just a smoky cheese flavour, but these genuinely delivered on the chorizo. There were warm spices, a good hit of paprika, and even a little tang of vinegar. It actually tasted like chorizo, not just a vague suggestion of it. The cheddar followed through with a creamy but punchy note that balanced out the heat nicely.

They were far more addictive than I’d anticipated, we polished off the bag quicker than we meant to. These are seriously tasty crisps, and I’ll absolutely be picking them up again.
