Blair's Death Rain Habanero Pepper Potato Chips


I stumbled upon these crisps (Chips to our American friends) and just had to try them. I like crisps, I like spicy food. I like a challenge, but I'm not one of those mentalists that goes for maximum burn. When it comes to curries, I'll go for a jalfrezi and that's about my limit.

A bag of pure fire
I opened the bag, and was greeted by a vague smokey whiff, followed by a little spicy tickle at the back of the throat. The first crisp gave a delicious strong smokey flavour, followed by pure fire. Then I coughed a bit and reached for a cooling beverage. Yup, these things are hot. Chilli heads shouldn't be disappointed, but if anything I'd like them a bit less hot as the spice overpowers the flavour. I kept going, though. I wasn't going to let £1.50 worth of crisps go to waste. The quality of the 'kettle style' potato crisps that carry the flavour is pretty good too. They're crunchy and crisp, but not oily.

These things come highly recommended if you like your spicy food, but make sure you wash your hands before rubbing your eyes or going for a leak!
