Walkers Marmite Yeast Extract Flavour Crisps

I like Marmite so was very pleased last week when I noticed Sainsbury's sell a 6 bag pack of Walkers Marmite flavour crisps. I have had these crisps in the past but when I feel like a bag of crisps I will usually buy a multi pack of flavours or a couple of single bags from the paper shop so had not spotted these on the crisp aisle in the supermarket before. They come in a yellow bag that reminds me of the horrible cheese flavour that Walkers brought out a few years ago and perhaps this is why I have not noticed them because I hated the cheese crisps and the bags are a very similar colour with just a small picture of a jar of Marmite to ring the ...  Read the complete review

First things first. They say that you either have to love Marmite or hate Marmite. Wrong. And if you certainly don't have to be Marmite person to enjoy these crisps. They don't even resemble Marmite in the slightest, but they are are delicious. If you like mild Marmite on toast, then these crisps are for you. They are tasty and moreish, and once you've bitten into your first one, the rest seem to dissapear very quickly! So next time you're dithering in the Newsagents, give these yummy crisps a ...  Read the complete review

Love it or hate it - marmite is something we all have an opinion of. Personally, I love it, as does my daughter, but my son and husband dislike it intensely. Twiglets.....there's another thing. Marmite flavoured wheaty sticks that sell by the bucketload towards Christmas. Now, as you would expect, I love them too, as does my daughter. Strangely though, my husband (despite being a marmite-hater) loves twiglets and we can't get a look in if there is a tub in the house because he has hogged the lot. My son, though, still does the "marmite, yuk" noises..... So, we move on to Marmite crisps.....these have seemingly made a disappearance ...  Read the complete review

If there were an Oscar for crisps this flavour would surely win an academy award for Best Crispture. I have eaten more flavours of crisps in my life time than Quentin Crisp has had hats and I can tell you that aside from Tomato Ketchup flavour (and possibly Monster Munch Pickled Onion Flavour) Walkers Marmite is the best that has ever been crunched upon this planet we call Earth. It is better than eating Marmite on toast or a Marmite sandwich because what those clever crisp people from Leicester have done is created a perfect taste and texture fusion in a marriage between the humble potato, marmite and oil. (oil being the mistress!) As I ...  Read the complete review

As Marmite is a love it or hate it product, I expected the Marmite flavoured crisps to have a similar stigma attached to them. However, the difference between the two products is that, because the flavour of Marmite is used for the crisps, they are able to relate the strength of it. As a result, the Marmite taste is there, but it isn't too overpowering or strong, which is why I think people don't like Marmite itself often. In terms of Walkers crisps, I've never been a huge fan as I believe there are better crisps out there. However, Walkers made a good move with this product, and I prefer eating these than having Marmite on toast. Walkers have done very well ...  Read the complete review
