Nobody eats a flame-grilled steak at a bus stop. A bag of McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak Crisps, though, is another matter entirely.
These are the thick, ridged ones. The crisps that survive the bottom of a school bag, take a dip without snapping, and leave the flavour on your fingers for a good half hour afterwards.
Six bags to the pack, which sounds generous until the lunchboxes, the film night and the "just one" at four o'clock all get involved.
If you grew up with them, you already know the crunch. That is the one you have been missing.
Frequently asked questions about McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak Crisps
Q: Is this the UK version?
A: It is. These are the British McCoy's, brought over to our shop in Halifax and shipped from within Canada.
Q: How many bags are in the pack?
A: Six individual bags. How long six bags last is a matter between you and your household.
Q: Are these the thick, ridged ones?
A: Yes, the proper ridge-cut McCoy's crunch. If a crisp can't hold up to a dip, it isn't a McCoy's.
Q: Would they make a good gift?
A: For someone who misses home, a pack of these lands better than flowers. Add a few other British favourites and you have a parcel they will actually open in front of you.
More about McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak Crisps
McCoy's sit at the heavy-duty end of the British crisp aisle: ridge cut, thick, built for crunch rather than delicacy. Flame grilled steak is one of those flavours British crisp makers have made their own, sitting alongside prawn cocktail and pickled onion in the great tradition of crisps named after things you would never expect in a bag.
People in Canada go looking for these because of a very specific memory. A pint on a sticky pub table, a bag split down the side and laid flat so everyone can dive in, and the ridges catching every last bit of seasoning.
The pack holds six individual bags, so it lives happily in the cupboard and gets handed out one at a time (in theory). Keep it somewhere cool and dry. Once a bag is open it will not be lasting long anyway. They go in a lunchbox next to a sandwich, or, for the committed, inside the sandwich.
Most people fill the rest of the basket with the things that go with them: a box of proper tea, a bar of British chocolate for afters, and a jar of Branston for the crisp sandwich nobody admits to making.
