"Chip Flavours...or Crisps in the UK" Topic

There is a competition being run in Australia to come up with a new flavour of chip/crisp. I think they did one in UK recently didn't they? You win 1% of the sales of your flavour (up to 200000 p.a. max) plus 30000 cash up front. I have been trying to come up with a flavour and I thought of "Peanut" flavoured chips which would work well in pubs I reckon….plus people with nut allergies could eat 'em.

Anyone else got any suggestions?

I've had some chips using spices from Thai cooking. They were quite good and included a bit of peanut, I think.

I very much doubt someone who is allergic to peanuts could eat peanut chips. They grind peanuts to get the flavor.

Another flavor of chip I like, but rarely see, are seafood flavored chips. In the US there are a couple of regional companies that make some. I can sometimes get very good shrimp and garlic chips from a Japanese grocer.

Browned pork roast, with sauerkraut.

Cajun Squirrel was one of the ones I liked in the competition in the UK. Builders Breakfast walkers.co.uk/flavours won it. My second favourite in those that got as far as being made.

A better name than peanut is needed.

I'd butter flavoured crisps that taste like mashed potatoes with lots of butter on them. Mmmmm buttery, salty goodness.

They would be like the popcorn of the potato chip world!

Tobacco?

Tobacco chips! Now theres a thought; a healthy alternative to my only vice. Nothing I like better than lighting up a King Edward Special at the end of a day..

No seafood chips in Oz that i know of so that is one option I must admit. They're a fickle lot over here though. My partner is a cook of the highest order and makes superlative sauerkraut (shes part German) and artery threatening garlic mashed potato with butter all over it.

I also thought of pie and sauce flavour; pie floater flavour; yiros flavour and a full fried brekky flavour (but that one had been done in UK already). Unfortunately we don't have squirrel over here so I wonder about Cajun possum…..:)

There was a promotion here in New zealand recently where people were asked to nominate some iconic Kiwi flavours for a range of chippies.

They have now actually come out with 'tomato sauce and mince pie', 'reduced cream and onion soup' and 'tasty cheese' flavoured chips.

The Cajun squirrel & builders breakfast were the least worst of those in the Walkers competition. If they had said the squirrel was chicken I wouldn't have argued. The duck with Hoisin sauce was vile.

Whiskey Sour?

Years ago, I told my wife of the tomato ice-cream found
in Japan.

She refused to believe me, then recently some friends,
returned from a visit to Japan, mentioned the tomato
ice-cream, and how terrible it was…

And there *are* tomato-flavored chips/crisps for sale in
our local Trader Joe's…

They did 'hedgehog' flavour crisps in Britain a few years ago – sort of generic road kill idea.

Hedgehog???

Tomato we have here; tomato soup flavour – eeech

Sounds like the "Burger King" potato chips (crisps) we have had here. They're supposed to emulate the flavor of BK's French Fries with Ketchupo. They do a poor job of it.

chiko roll flavoured chips?

Fennel flavoured crisps with a hint of Aftershave.

vegimite?

Someone already does a 'Spicy Tomato'- might be a maize based snack though. The 'Duck' was odd. You could eat one, know exactly what they were trying to do, but always with the comment, "…but I would send it back."

Vegemite- yerch, I hate Marmite- though there are Marmite flavoured crisps. My eldest loves it, and if I do him Marmite on toast it is always done at arms length. And then I forget and do that parent thing of licking the knife- Archh!

The builders breakfast was actually alright, because they didn't mix the flavours on the same crisp. One would be egg, the next, sausage.

Sweet Chili is nice- suggest that if they don't do it in Oz. Or go for penut BUTTER.
