More crisps

Walkers Sensations: Oven Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Thyme. I readily believe that real thyme was near this product at some point. The lemon is understated, mostly discernible in the aftertaste. The chicken flavor is there throughout, but not overpowering. The overall taste is savory, rather than salty, which is offset nicely by the citrus. Subtle, but pleasant, and miles away from Walker's regular range roast chicken flavor. The mildness of the flavoring means the taste of the chip itself comes through (unlike the sechuzan spice flavor, where it was completely overpowered), and the two are naturally complementary. I was concerned about how the meaty taste would mesh with texture of the crisps, but it suits the thicker kettle-chip style Sensations crisps very well.

This is the last of the Walkers Sensations range that I've been able to find in individual serving packages. I'm excited try the other flavors, especially Carmelised Onion and Balsamic Vinegar (maybe with some goat cheese?) and Vintage Cheddar and Red Onion Chutney. But there's a whole world of unfamiliar junk food out there!

You better believe it. There is a lot to get through in the next eight months, you may have to come over here and help me out.
