Monster Munch Giants Roast Beef - 85g

Monster Munch lives in that corner of British snacking reserved for after school: eaten straight from the bag, fingers dusted a faint shade of beef. The Giants are the bigger claws, for anyone who always felt the regular ones were holding back.

The search usually starts with a craving that is hard to explain to a Canadian friend. It is a roast beef flavoured claw. You just have to try one. If you grew up with them you know the exact crunch, and once that memory turns up it does not leave quietly.

The 85g bag is a sharing size in theory. In practice it is one person, one film and a lap full of crumbs. Kept sealed in the cupboard it stays crisp. Once it is open, the clock is ticking, mostly because you keep reaching back in.

They come from Walkers, so they sit happily beside a few bags of the crisps that filled British lunchboxes for decades. Add a bottle of squash and a packet of biscuits and you have rebuilt a 1990s sleepover, minus the sleeping bag on the floor.
