What did you learn today? I learned nothin'

As a special seasonal thing, M&S are selling turkey, cranberry and stuffing-flavoured crisps. I tried them in November or so. They're fine. They taste like generic savoury-flavoured crisps.

They're also doing port and stilton-flavoured crisps. I...

Well. I don't really like flavoured crisps all that much. And cheese-flavoured things are invariably disastrous. Port and stilton crisps are clearly going to be disgusting.

But I was curious.

Not quite curious enough to buy some. But curious enough to persuade one of my colleagues to buy some. And then to steal one.

They are unbelievably disgusting.

(At least, according to me. They don't taste like port. They certainly don't taste like stilton. They don't even taste like cheese-flavoured crisps. They are bizarrely sweet. M'colleague, on the other hand, quite liked them.)

Used to have to put salt on our own crisps when I were a lad.

(Well, we didn't have to: ready salted had long been invented and was much more popular. But you could still buy salt-and-shake in any decent corner shop. And it did mean you could put less on if you wanted… although I always went for the full whack.)

You're not that ancient, y'know, I remember Salt'n'Shake perfectly well too :)
