Our Verdict On A New Festive Delicacy

As you know we all like to adhere to a stringent 5 day regime and as so are always up to try something a little bit different as regards to our fruit and veg intake……….
walkers sprout crisps
So you can imagine the palpable and tangible excitement that thronged The Towers when Darrell came home jubilantly holding aloft a festive variety bag of crisps ……. including a sprout flavour.

We would have been very remiss if we hadn’t sampled them there and then. He who dares wins!  Hmmmmmm, to be honest what immediately assailed our nostrils as we opened an individual bag was the overwhelming and authentic, aromatic whiff of sprouts, let’s just say they were erm ….. pungent!

They were also a paler shade of green ………

……. and yes, they did taste unmistakably of sprouts, but what was alarming was the sprout aftertaste that lingered for far longer than any of us would have preferred it too.

As to a sprouts renowned flatulence generating properties, well, a gentleman never tells …… let’s just say that what goes on off in The Towers stays in The Towers, and thank goodness for Glade!
Our verdict on said crisps, an undoubtedly acquired taste, not for the faint hearted. I seriously doubt that Darrell will making another considered purchase.
