The other day I was wandering through a local supermarket and spotted these crisps. An acquaintance mentioned later they also sell Hobgoblin flavoured crisps.(?)
Now when I was a lad, all you could get was plain crisps with a blue bag of salt in them. Then new flavours were introduced till what became my favourite, Mint Sauce Flavour. Dont see it now but a few years ago I spotted in Tesco some Old Peculier Flavoured Crisps. I bought a packet. Did they taste of Old Peculier ? Did they bollocks ?
Back to the photograph, the small print says " with a splash of real ale " I have a mental picture of a factory worker holding a packet of these crisps under a real ale handpull, a quick pull and a squirt ( if you will pardon the expression.) , then passing it down the line to seal the packet.
Anyhow, in April 2015 a group of us visited the Jarrow Brewery for a tour, some samples , then back on the bus to McConnells Gin & Ale House for some more beers and a pizza. The night was going great, I did a quiz. Then one of the guys wandered over from the bar and placed discreetly on our table an opened packet of peanuts. " Here you go lads, try these " Then he sauntered off.
" Oh , Cheers mate " etc etc.
Unsuspecting, we all tucked in, then stopped, with our mouths burning and eyes streaming. They were chilli flavoured peanuts. !
Bastard.
