Walkers - Dairy Flavoured Potato Chips
NOTE: I received these crisps free of charge. My review is not biased by this fact. The crisps are (and will) be judged solely on their merits, as always.
This is the final part of a three part series, the first of which is available here, the second here. It deals with the dairy flavour which I was most curious about, because ‘dairy’ is so nondescript. Egg? Cheese? Milk? Omlette?
These are cheese, of some sort. I think it’s cream cheese, but, by the same token, they might be sour cream, because there’s a definite chive note going on underneath the dominant creamy taste. They’re more ambiguous than the ‘spicy’ crisps, but far less confusing than the ‘meaty’ ones. They’re creamy, with a hint of fresh herbs, bolstered by the greasy note that seems to dominate the entire range I’ve tried.
The crisps are pale, and have specks of green on them. They look, to be fair, a little anaemic. But don’t let that put you off!
They’d be a welcome part of the regular Walkers line up, because they taste like a slightly more subtle and refined cheese and onion number. Sure, cheese and onion are great, but they’re a little in your face sometimes. The flavour for these doesn’t linger much, which makes them moreish, but they don’t interfere too much with the flavour of whatever else you might be consuming at the time.
Unfortunately, there’s little more to say about these. They’re probably my favourite of the bunch, and I could eat a lot of them, but they’re not complex enough to wax lyrical about

Turns out you will be able to get your hands on these, for a short period of time. They’re part of Walkers’ what’s that flavour campaign where a correct answer could win you £50,000.
