2026 is the year of the root vegetable - with purple Ube drinks being the hotness - and purple Taro crisps close behind.
Legends in Birmingham has loads of Chinese products and is my main source of Pocari Sweat - but I spotted these from the international brand Lays
And they are pretty alien looking. My Grandmother (98) was very freaked out by it and pulled some amazing faces. She did try a second one too though.
Ingredients a bit faded, but it's basically just Taro, Palm Oil (boo) and lime flavour
And look at the close up. I've no idea why it's both brown and purple, I'm sure someone can explain.
The lime flavour is not a British one. It's both sweet and sour, and not in expected ways. It's kind of like eating a boiled sweet crisp - and it's great.
I'm not sure you'd sit and eat a bag - but to share it's a great conversation starter and to see some funny faces.
And I have a pepper flavour one to try later!
