As I said yesterday, it took me about five minutes to spot the change.

 

At least you’ve got an excuse!

 

Me?  None at all.

 

I eat the feckin things regularly too. :facepalm:

Don’t know if you can buy these in Edinburgh?  We found them yesterday and gave them a go last night.  A very ‘acquired’ taste but, if you like Pesto and Parmesan (which we both do) you’ll love them.

American make of "chips" (crisps).

That term ‘chips’ would be a deserving entry into the Seethe thread.

Ha ha. It waa rhetorical.

I thought I'd changed that after re-reading your post :laugh: :62:. As for ownership I've no idea. I lose track of it all nowadays. There's been so many take-over/mergers etc that i've no idea who owns what in the corporate world now.

Their products seem popular in places like Spain and the packaging design and colouring is similar to Walkers.

OUR FEROCIOUS FIRE EATERS CRISPS...

Buy ‘em right here!

 

 

Bump.

 

I've just bought a bag of Trinidad scorpion chilli.

 

I love hot food and I'm in no way a wimp when it comes to spiciness but these are on another level. 

 

I've eaten 4 so far and my mouth is on fire!

 

Weirdly addictive though :teu49:

Cracked open a bag one night last week. First few had me struggling, but I got into it quickly after. Like you said, strangely addicting. I scranned half the bag in one sitting.

Reminds me of the 'Texas chilli eating contest' email that did the rounds years ago.

 

I bought a bag of the Scorpion ones a few weeks ago and offered some to my mum without telling her the flavour. She took a large handful and stuffed them in her mouth. Don't think my Christmas present will be much this year...

Is this it? 

 

These are notes from an inexperienced chilli taster named FRANK, who was visiting Texas from New Jersey and fell into it

  

"Recently I was lucky enough to be the 10,000th attendee at the State Fair in Texas, and was asked to fill in to be a judge at a chilli cook-off.

 

Apparently the original judge #3 called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there when the call came in. 

 

I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that it would be a fun event and a true taste of Texas hospitality.  They assured me that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted.  Here are the scorecards from the event

 

Chilli # 1 Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chilli

JUDGE ONE A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.

JUDGE TWO Nice, smooth tomato flavour. Very mild.

FRANK Holy shit, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with it. Took me two beers to put the flames out.  Hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.

 

Chilli # 2 Arthur's Afterburner Chilli

JUDGE ONE Smoky with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.

JUDGE TWO Exciting BBQ flavour, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.

FRANK Keep this out of reach of children!  I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich manoeuvre. They had to walkie-talkie in 3 extra beers when they saw the look on my face.

 

Chilli # 3 Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili

JUDGE ONE Excellent firehouse chilli! Great kick. Needs more beans.

JUDGE TWO A beanless chilli, a bit salty, good use of red peppers.

FRANK Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill.  My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now.  Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest.

I'm getting shit-faced.

 

Chilli # 4 Bubba's Black Magic

JUDGE ONE Black bean chilli with almost no spice.  Disappointing.

JUDGE TWO Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chilli.

FRANK I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Sally, the bar maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that

300lb. bitch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear-waste I'm eating.

 

Chilli # 5 Linda's Legal Lip Remover

JUDGE ONE Meaty, strong chilli. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.

JUDGE TWO Chilli using shredded beef; could use more tomato.  Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.

FRANK My ears are ringing, and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chilli had given me brain damage.  Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks!

 

Chilli # 6 Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety

JUDGE ONE Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chilli.  Good balance of spice and peppers.

JUDGE TWO The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic.

Superb.

FRANK My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulphuric flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone!

 

Chilli # 7 Susan's Screaming Sensation Chilli

JUDGE ONE A mediocre chilli with too much reliance on canned peppers.

JUDGE TWO Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chilli peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about Judge number 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.

FRANK You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a damn thing. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chilli which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like sh!t to match my damn shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me.  I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it, I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4 inch hole in my stomach.

 

Chilli # 8 Helen's Mount Saint Chilli

JUDGE ONE A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chilli, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.

JUDGE TWO This final entry is a good, balanced chilli, neither mild nor hot.

Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 passed out, fell and pulled the chilli pot on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it.  Poor Yank.

FRANK ------   (editor's note Judge #3 was unable to report)

Gave my wife a few Trinidad Scorpion flavoured crisps last night without revealing the flavour. I thought the smell and colour (of the crisps, not her!) might have warned her, but no, she munched on regardless. Her face as the heat kicked in was priceless.

 

And yes, I did try the exact same thing on my mum a couple of months ago.

 

Respect jonesy😎

The strongest ‘salt and vinegar’ crisp I’ve ever tasted.  They actually make your mouth draw in.

They are indeed. I went into a Co-op a couple of days ago to buy Golden Syrup, came out with two bags of these😳 I ate both bags myself within 24hrs, that’s really not good for your health or waistline....but they are the best salt& vinegar crisps I’ve ever had.
