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.)

I really only like plain salted crisps. For some reason everything else is complicated and sweetened and what have you. Even something like salt-and-pepper isn't just salted crisps + pepper, it's got a whole load of stuff that makes it taste sticky somehow.

We had some at Christmas: they are GRIM.

I was going to say, that doesn't even SOUND nice.

Though I still want to try the Mackies haggis crisps:

That sounds awful. And since I'm too far away from the source to ever acquire any, now I want some.
