Review

I fell in love with English style chips when I visited England, Ireland and Wales during the summer of 2004.  The flavor, the texture, the refined ratio of salt to potato… delightful!

 

Perhaps I am a potato chip snob, but the standard American grocery store potato chip purchase leaves me rather underwhelmed.  I find them to be too salty.  Usually, if you find a bag or two in my house it is because my husband wanted some snack foods.  Either that, or we just had a grill out with friends.

My complaint about chips being too salty does not apply to Tyrrells Chips.  The chips that have a flavor other than salt are flavored quite nicely.  My personal favorite was the Mature Cheddar & Chives.  They had a strong taste of real cheddar, not generic processed cheese.  The Lightly Sea Salted Potato Chips were very delicate in their taste and you could still taste the potato (which I liked very much).  The Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper did not skimp on either the sea salt or the cracked black pepper; in fact, I have to say that they are the best “salt & pepper” style chips I have ever eaten.  My husband devoured the Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar and the Worcestershire Sauce with Sundried Tomato was surprisingly good.  I would have never thought of putting Worcestershire on a potato chip, but it works very nicely and goes great with a strong cheese.

Who would like this gift?

I have to admit that any anglophile will adore these.  So, any friend of yours who celebrates the birthday of “The Queen” every year with a complete tea service will love you forever for buying these for them.

 

If you are looking for something special to get your favorite cubicle mate, or a small token of your affection for your hairdresser, building security guard, or favorite study partner in college then a bag or two of these delightful chips would be a great choice!

I also recommend these as part of a gift basket.  Paired with some good beer, some cheese, cured meats, and a few gourmet candies these would go from a good gift to an outstanding gift.
