Crisps With Warnings

I'll take one for the team in my pursuit of all things spicy. I didn't even blink -- when I saw a 'limited edition' crisp that claimed to be 'EXTREMELY HOT & SPICY', well, I had to gimmesome of that. Did it matter that I really didn't have much idea what 'chicken madras' was? No. Compared to some of things I've eaten in my day, anything coming out of a crisp bag is a piece of cake. Except for some of things that come out of crisps bags in Japan.

Needless to say, I survived despite the warning. The chips are a bit tangy but not really spicy -- maybe not even Dorito levels. I would get them again, the flavor wasn't so bad but I would give them a shake or two of habanero powder to keep from being disappointed with each bite.

Madras, by the way, is a red curry heavy with chilli powder that originates from the south of India.

Cheers!

Sweet! Gotta get me a handful of them. I've been scared of fried things in a bag ever since I got some real pork rinds down south once. They wouldn't allow me to believe they were made of the same stuff of chee-tos and Funyuns and such due to the short prickly hairs that were still on them.

Another crisp post Keptman? I was just cataloging, sorting and admiring my new crisp collection compliments of Payne and Pez, and you had to post about a variety not included in my gift bag. DOH.
Which to eat first...what to do next. -Belle.

In ye old England, I am yet to see the fake pork rind. What's the point? In Budapest, I had the goose skin equivalent of a pork rind -- served as a first course at a nice restaurant. Skin and fat hold a higher plane of respect here.
