Prawn cocktail is the crisp flavour nobody outside Britain quite believes in until they have had one. Taylors Spicy Prawn Cocktail Crisps take that old favourite and turn the heat up a notch.
Taylors are a Scottish potato-farming family who went into crisps, so the potato is the point here, not an afterthought. You get a proper crunch, the prawn cocktail flavour you grew up on, and a kick at the end that sneaks up on you.
Open the bag on the table and watch what happens. Everybody swears they only had a few. The empty bag tells a different story.
Frequently asked questions about Taylors Spicy Prawn Cocktail Crisps
Q: Is this the UK version?
A: Yes. These are the British Taylors crisps, made in the UK, and we ship them from within Canada.
Q: How big is the bag?
A: It is a 150g sharing bag, so it is meant for the table rather than the lunchbox. Whether it actually gets shared is between you and your conscience.
Q: Is it a good thing to send to someone who misses Britain?
A: Very much so. A bag of prawn cocktail crisps in a parcel says more about home than a postcard ever managed.
More about Taylors Spicy Prawn Cocktail Crisps
In Britain, prawn cocktail sits in the top tier of crisp flavours, right up there with ready salted, cheese and onion, and salt and vinegar. It is the pink packet of the school lunchbox, the pub table and the party bowl, and most people have firm opinions about it.
Here in Canada, it is the flavour that British expats go hunting for. One bag and you are back on a wall outside the corner shop, or in a beer garden pretending the sun is out. That is usually reason enough to search for it.
This is a 150g sharing bag, so it is a good deal bigger than a lunchbox packet. Keep it in the cupboard and clip it shut once it is open, assuming there is anything left to clip. Tip it into a bowl for film night, or put a handful next to a sandwich the way it was always meant to be eaten.
Taylors make other crisps besides this one, and people rarely stop at a single bag. Most baskets end up with a couple of British crisp flavours, a bar of proper chocolate and a packet of biscuits for the tea.
