Advantages: Nice bag

Disadvantages: Taste of flavouring and seem a tad derivative of current flavours

So for the World Cup Walkers have gone all Heston Blumenthal and released 15 new flavours from some of the most influential countries in World Football.

This product is Argentine Flame Grilled Steak Crisps, in many ways the crisps are similar to Argentine Steak, namely in their name, other than that they bear much more similarity to Walkers Beef and Onion crisps which they taste identical too.

The crisps are packaged in Walkers bags, sealed with foil for freshness they bear a cup and the Argentine flag on the front. They are available on their own or in multi-packs with other innovative flavours like South African Chutney flavour (!).

Taste:

In essence they taste exactly like Beef and Onion Walkers Crisps, there is no difference I noticed, my partner has commented that they taste similar to Walkers Kangaroo crisps, although that is perhaps going too far.

The crisps are round and reasonably sized, when opening the bag you get an inital whiff of beef but it tastes manufactured, with a notice that it is suitable for vegetarians its clearly simply flavourings and no real product.

The crisps are 50p in WH Smiths or I bought a six pack for £2.48 in my local tesco metro, they aren't a patch on Pringles and having been to Argentina I think the description is pushing things a tad, they should be rebranded as 'Beef and Onion Crisps in a different bag', I don't rate these and don't feel sure that these are the best product in this range.

I wouldn't recommend these, they aren't new, they aren't clever and I won't go out of my way to try them again, this is similar to McDonalds rebranding as an Argentine Steak house because their burgers consist of some beef!!!

Summary: As Argentine as Bjork!
