Walker's Crazy Crisps - part 2

Day 2 of Blighty's Blog's review of the new Walker's experimental crisp flavours. Today, Chilli & Chocolate. This flavour was proposed by Catherine from High Wycombe in the UK.

Chilli and Chocolate did not sound that weird to my ears. My son, now a chef in Vancouver, had prepared a chilli and chocolate dessert for me a few years ago. It really tasted surprisingly good.

Now, take that flavour and marry it with potato crisps (that's potato chips if you are not of UK heritage) and you have a combination that is , um, interesting.

My first reaction, as I popped the crisp in my mouth, was "oh, chocolate". Then, as I swallowed it, my reaction changed to "oh chilli".

As a dessert, chilli and chocolate go together very well, but as a crisp flavour? No sorry Catherine, I wouldn't be voting for this one.
