Kent Crisps Oyster and Vinegar - 40g

Crisps are serious business in Britain: a whole aisle, a flavour for every mood, and a few that sound like a dare to anyone who did not grow up with them. Kent Crisps come from the county they call the Garden of England, where the seaside is never far away, and oyster and vinegar is about as English coast as a bag of crisps gets.

People in Canada go looking for this one for two reasons. Either somebody mentioned oyster and vinegar and they have not stopped thinking about it, or they miss a bag of crisps torn open beside a pint, which is the bit of a British afternoon that never fits in a suitcase.

It is a single 40g bag, the size that goes in a lunchbox, a coat pocket or next to a sandwich. Keep it in a cool, dry cupboard. Once it is open, storage stops being a question.

Kent Crisps make a range of flavours rooted in their county, and this is a fine place to start. Most people pick up a few bags and add some other British crisps and snacks while they are at it.
