Walkers Crisps Bring Back Retro Flavours But How Do You Eat Yours?

You may have noticed some new flavours on the supermarket shelves recently? Walkers Crisps have decided to bring back their retro flavours as limited editions. They have come up with a brilliant idea to give the British snacking nation exactly what they want. A new yet retro flavour. So for the next few months, you, the public can vote to “Bring Back Your Favourite Retro Flavour”.

Now while we are talking crisps, I am always wanting something savoury and crunchy to snack on at lunch time. And often the quickest, easiest option is to sometimes reach for that bag of crisps. Now I’m curious about lots of things, and these crisps got me thinking. How do you eat yours?
Do you nibble them? Eat them straight from the bag? Grab a handful and munch on those? Pour them out onto a plate with whatever else you are eating, or into a bowl for the family to share, or do you put them into a special dish to make more of the occasion and eat them delicately?Have you ever stopped to think about it for a moment? Have you? Or is it just me?Well, for me, if I eat them straight out of the bag, I tend to just wolf them down, munch one after the next, not really savouring those flavours. Yet, if I put them in a special dish, (a bit like they do if you order a drink out, you often get a little dish of savouries to nibble on) it’s as if I’ve made a special effort, and then I seem to think more about what I’m eating, and make more of a special effort to savour them, enjoy those flavours.

Then if I lay them out like this, don’t they just look scrummy?

And then if I add in some cheese and chives and a few props…

And then if I pop that frame around them… you see, don’t they just look so yummy?

Obviously I don’t eat them like this every day! Just on special occasions!
