Pickled Onion

What is it?

Thin, concave crisps coated in tangy seasoning, shaped in a way that holds flavour in the curved centre of each piece. Seasoning leans sharp and vinegary, with onion and a little fermented bite rather than the cleaner sourness of a salt and vinegar variety. Compared with other flavours in the range, this one is all about how the powder clings to the ridges and pools in the hollows of each crisp. Base crisps stay light and brittle, while the topping gives each piece a more direct, punchy flavour hit that builds as you work through the bag. Expect your fingers to turn a pale yellow-green from the seasoning, and the smell to announce itself well before you open the packet. Sold in single bags and multipacks across UK shops.
