Unless you’re from Britain, it’s unlikely you’ve tried these potato chips. Actually scratch that, they’re called “flavour potato crisps.” Walkers are made from 100% British spuds, have no MSG, no artificial colours and…wait for it…temporarily come in six unconventional flavours: Crispy Duck and Hoisin, Fish and Chips, Chilli and Chocolate, Cajun Squirrel (what!?!), Onion Bhaji and Builder’s Breakfast (egg, bacon, sausage and beans). Walkers is currently running a campaign asking people to vote on which crisp flavour should remain on the shelf.
Looking for a streetcar snack and hoping for a chip that would taste like delicious peking duck, I grabbed a bag of the duck crisps from the Nutty Chocolatier (2179 Queen St. East). It tasted like smoky barbecue and soy sauce with a woodsy aftertaste. Not entirely appetizing, but that didn’t stop me from eating most of the bag.
Who’s up for Cajun Squirrel? Let us know which flavour you’d like to try. Pip pip!

holy faq! I bet these have a longer shelf life than CocaCola flavoured Hubba Bubba.

Mmmmmmmmmmm….Cajun Squirrel…
Sorry to be anal but I think they’re called ‘potato crisps’, the flavour part is supposed to be attached to the line above, meaning they’re potato crisps with Cajun Squirrel flavour, yum!
Anyway, I vote for a tasting party. -
Walkers makes Marmite crips as well. They dont taste anywhere as good as real marmite.

I agree Mark! Mmm marmite, think i’ll make myself a Marmite, butter toasty snack. —Jaspal

You need to figure out a way to deliver food through my computer. I don’t use the CD drive much anymore, some sort of food-printer could go in its place.

Holy Crap how does one come up with Cajun Squirrel?? Were any squirrels harmed in the making of this product? Are they looking for subjects, b/c I have a few annoying varmints digging up my back yard that I would gladly donate to the cause.
