"As a self-confessed crisp addict, and as someone who would sometimes swerve a gourmet dinner for the company of a bowl filled with fried potato pleasure, I jumped at the chance to taste-test festive flavours for the Filter, examining an ever-growing market in which crisp tycoons try to outdo each other with nostalgic flavours. While I prefer clean potato flavour dusted with just a sprinkle of salt and sometimes a hit of vinegar, I am not a purist. I am open"
"Best overall: Waitrose turkey and stuffing tortilla chips 1.60 for 200g at Waitrose (80p/100g) These tortilla chips are toasty and meaty without being heavy. They are nostalgic of the warm plate of a family roast dinner drizzled with a deeply savoury gravy. Best bargain: Morrisons the Best pigs in blanket crisps 1 for 125g at Morrisons (80p/100g) These are quite clever: they somehow capture the irresistible flavour of singed, crisp bacon and the extra dark bits of sausage skin."
Crisps take center stage as essential Christmas snacks, pairing well with sparkling drinks, cocktails, dips, or luxe toppings. A market of festive flavours mixes nostalgic roast-dinner notes with inventive combinations. Preferences often favour simple, clean potato taste with salt or a splash of vinegar, though some novel flavours aim for attention rather than lasting appeal. Waitrose turkey and stuffing tortilla chips deliver toasty, meaty, roast-dinner and gravy impressions without heaviness. Morrisons The Best pigs in blanket crisps capture singed bacon and sausage-skin notes, offering thick, ridged, addictive crisps at strong value. Co-op duck and clementine crisps provide a thin, citrus-accented option.
