Walkers Salt & Shake

Description: Walkers Salt & Shake crisps come with their own sachet of salt so that you can add as liitle or as much as you like to your crisps, perfect if you are on a low salt diet.

These crisps are totally plain, so you can add your own salt (provided in each pack in a small blue sachet) according to taste. They come in white packets with a blue label saying "Walkers Salt & Shake" on the front. They have been around for ages (I remember them as a child when they were made by Smiths) so chances are that you have seen them or tried them.

A 30g bag of these crisps costs around £0.45 and you can also buy them in multi packs from supermarkets. Having said that, these seem to be around less and less and I don't see them nearly as often as I used to.

The crisps themselves are always golden and light. They also smell really fresh, as soon as you open the pack, you can smell them. The amount of salt that I add depends on my mood, sometimes I eat them completely plain because they do taste fab just on their own. But then sometimes I add most of or even all of the salt, and love them that way too! It is great to have the choice and be able to eat them exactly as I want.

Okay, so crisps are never going to be good for you, but as with most things, eaten in moderation can be a tasty treat. The fresh crunchiness of these means they are always good, whether alone, or on a cheese and salad cream (Heinz of course!) sandwich.

I definitely recommend these crisps, they are one of my favourites and ever pack reminds me of eating them as a child. It is a shame that they don't seem as available as they used to, but worth buying when you spot them!

Summary: Stash it!
