I've died and gone to chip heaven

One thing the Brits really do well is snacking. My most favourite thing to do over the past few weeks has been to trawl the aisles of Sainsburys, Waitrose and of course, Marks & Spencer. I don’t think a grocery trip has gone by without me buying a bag of chips (crisps over here) of some sort. Those of you who have known me during a time when I’ve been dieting will know that chips are my weakness.

After three weeks of daily chip eating over here, I now consider myself quite a connoisseur. Here is a review of my two favourites.

Walkers Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli Flavour



I had these about a year ago and brought three bags back to Toronto last year. I thought I could do better than these, but I was utterly wrong. Salty with a slightly sweet finish and of course full of spice, it is the perfect crisp. Even better, it’s a formidable size and I defy you to find a crisp with better girth than this one. Surprisingly enough, a little goes a long way as I’ve not been able to finish a whole 175 gram bag in under five days. Scott Bradley, I’ve been stockpiling these to bring back to you in October.

Walkers Wotsits



Who doesn’t like a good cheesy puff? While my all-time favourite is still the Cheetos crunchy, they are sadly unavailable over here. Thank god for Wotsits. Just the right amount of puff and crispiness these little guys melt in your mouth. There is no skimping on that powdery, creamy, cheesy fakeness. The best part is they come in these little packets that are only 95 calories per serving.

Is it bad that I eat chips every day now?
