Although the world cup has now finished Walker's are still selling the range of crisps that they brought out to celebrate the world cup, in which we were able to vote for a flavour. I was surprised to still see them on sale, but pleased really because I hadn't yet finished sampling all of the flavours. I spotted these on sale in Asda as an individual bag for 56p and decided I simply had to try them as I love the taste of salsa! The Packaging: Bright green and yellow bag and on the front of it there is a picture of a cup full of vegetables and I am told that they are Walkers Brazilian Salsa Flavour Potato Crisps, the size is stated which is 34.5g and ...  Read the complete review

The World Cup has now drawn to its somewhat unsatisfactory conclusion, and unsurprisingly perhaps, Walkers' not-at-all-associated-officially-honest-Fifa range of "Flavour Cup" crisps are starting to look a bit old hat. In fact, it is now quite common to see the packs being sold individually in discount shops for as little as 10p; for some reason the Dutch Edam one seems to have suffered this fate the most, but this Brazilian Salsa variety was also available at that price in my local shop, so I snapped it up out of curiosity as much as anything else. Despite their moderate showing in the real World Cup, Brazil must be the most glamorous of all the ...  Read the complete review

Now that the World Cup is just around the corner I thought that I should finally get round to reviewing the range of crisps that Walkers launched in order to cash it on it, oh sorry, to celebrate it. They have created 15 new flavours that are supposed to represent 15 of the nations that have qualified for the World Cup. As a sideshow they are also running the World Flavour cup where anyone can vote for their favourite flavour online or via text, with the winner being announced at the end of the tournament. Typically for Walkers the crisps come in a packet which is far too big for the quantity of crisps they are giving you. You will find that the bag ...  Read the complete review

Everyone else seems to be reviewing the new range of World Cup crisp flavours from Walkers, so I decided I wanted to get in on the act! I will, however, only be reviewing the crisps that are suitable for vegetarians - which is surprisingly more than you might think! The Brazilian Salsa crisps come packaged in a bright yellow and green bag resembling the Brazilian flag. I bought my packet singly so it contains 180 calories - I believe multipack bags are smaller so will contain fewer calories. The crisps contain no MSG, no preservatives and no artificial colours. What they DO contain are potatoes, sunflower oil and Brazilian Salsa seasoning, which contains dried ...  Read the complete review

The fourth of fifteen new World Cup flavours I have tried, these are barely an improvement on what has come before! When you think of Salsa, I normally associate the taste with tomatoes, herbs, a hint of chilli, peppers and onion. What you get here is a poor aproximation of those flavours and a not very good crisp at all. Much like all the others I have so far tried in this range! Opening the packet provides an encouraging Salsa-like smell and, like all of these flavours so far, you kind of get your hopes up that these are going to be worthy of what they are attempting to represent. Unfortunately, putting these in your mouth leaves you very ...  Read the complete review
