Advantages: tasty, addictive

Disadvantages: artificial, addictive

Those darn rooting tooting yanks. Not only have they desecrated our language they have influenced our snacking habits. Cast your mind back to the 80s or beyond. You arrive at a gathering or party blue nun or bottled snowballs in one hand and snacks in the other. What would you bring? Cheese footballs?, onion rings or if you were were being very sophisticated twiglets or dry roasted peanuts. Nowadays come to a party and its all tortilla chips and dips and the current favourite Pringles. What's worse even the flavours are flashy and so American! Can you imagine sour cream wotsits or paprika and shake crisp! However I must confess they are yum and I have a big tube of Texas Barbecue to share with you!!

There is just something so irresistible about Pringles. Pop a tube and people will stop what they are doing (may I suggest wife swapping, or midget throwin0 to grab a handful.

TUBE ARMY

The iconic tube is part of he reason why they are so popular for parties. No longer do you have squashed crisps that none wants to have. Instead inside you have a tube full of perfectly shape crisps so similar they could audition for the latest Boy band on American idol1 The tube was supposedly invented in 1952 by cowboy "Jingling" Jimmy Pringle invented the tube when his horse kept stomping on his precious potato chips in normal packaging! In tribute his face with his bushy mustache is emblazoned on all pringles packages!

Suggested uses for an empty pringle tube include
Fill with beans to make a funky shaker-
ideal size for a spaghetti holder



what really amuses me about the Texan barbecue tube (although how they can advertise it as Texan when there are no real Texans in the tube. However that's what males them vegetarian!) are the lovely pictures of tomatoes on the brown tube as there are no mention of tomatoes in the ingredients Just lovely things such as monosoduim glutamate, emulsifiers and E numbers. Sounds tasty doesn't it?

Once I've popped the foil a slight saucy aroma. Not as saucy as a school girl in suspenders but saucier than a Carry on film e double entendre. Its got a hint of spice to it as well and its quite inviting.

Each identical crisp is wonderfully concaved and convexly curved,.They are inspired by the work of the famed Patagonian sculptor Renato Marquis as a student at the New York School of art. They are a pale golden colour with specks of orange like which reminds me of a page 3 model with bad fake tan. Their texture is just as unnatural, as instead of slivers of fried potatoes like good old British crisps they are made from dehydrated potato, corn and rice flour. They also have a sort of speckled slightly dimpled surface.

One pringle at a time is never enough. I always have to have at least five to really enjoy them.
I go into unchrtered territory and have just the one. Its a nice texture in my wafer/cracker texture compared to a traditional crisp but it does give enough crunch to be satisfying.

One crisp on its own does not give enough flavour. I find more of it is discerned on my fingers, as the powder comes away from the crisp. The flavour is slightly, sweet and sour and tangy with a hint of earthiness. I always think i can taste green peppers as well. To start with its not the strongest flavour and I feel disappointed but it really builds he more you eat them to get quite a nice taste sensation. That s what makes them so darn addictive. They really should be classified as Class c at least!

I have a conspiracy theory the Americans are sending Pringles along with giant popcorn and Mcdonalds over to us to make us fat so they can control us. They are 34% fat and of this 10% us saturated fat in these crisps and 305 calories in the normal size tube. I'm waiting for the foot long supersize tube with a zillion calories to really tempt us to eat and eat and eat.

Tex BBQ Pringles are perhaps my favourite flavour behind sour cream. They are tangy, tasty but totally artificial but give me some more!
