McCoys Spice

These are not any ordinary crisps, these crisps have something extra hidden within the ordinary exterior of their foil fresh bag. If you’ve ever eaten any McCoy’s crisp you’ll know that they are pretty good when it comes to crunch. Crinkle cut crisps with a reasonable thickness to them that gives you a crunch that you just don’t get with the likes of Walkers or Golden Wonder. Sold packaged in foil bags for extra freshness, they don’t lose their crunch with storage either, so they have a pretty good shelf life (usually about 3 months it seems).

The beef flavour are a very tasty zingy beef - basically if you love the steak flavour by McCoys then you will love ... more

Grimly chewing on a thick, "homestyle" potato crisp, I amused myself thinking that a company called The Real McCoy (accept no imitation) has produced a product called Sweet Thai Chicken, which contains no chicken; Chinese Sizzling beef that contains no beef. I suppose the Vegeterian logo should have warned me, but then, the chilli flavour contains no beans. The most promising part of these products is the flashy packets. Lots of gold foil, 40p for 35g.
