I'm sure you've seen them about. Basically Walkers have brought out some new flavour crisps based on the different countries competing in the World Cup. I'm always interested in these promotions so I got the packets!. So far i've had the Spanish Paella, English Beef and Yorkshire Pud, French Garlic Bread and the Italian Spaghetti Bolognaise. Really the only one that tastes like it's supposed to is the Spanish Paella. The others could be any other falvour they have out now and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference!. The Garlic Bread is not bad but I would have prefered it if it was called 'Henrys severed hand flavour'.

Anyone else tried them?.

Have only tried the Italian Spaghetti Bolognese flavour - as you said, doesn't really taste like spag bol!! I've heard the American Cheeseburger flavour really does taste like a cheeseburger, not sure if that's a good or bad thing!!

One I want to try the most is the Japanese Teriyaki (sp) chicken flavour!

I had the Argentinian Steaky ones today for lunch and the Brazilian Salsa yesterday i think?

Both very nice, I do think they are just Beef + Onion and Tomato flavour tweaked and new packaging though.

Crisps are 1 of my fave foods lol, so i've tried a few of these.
I thought the Paella ones were vile, Spag Bol are my faves.
Also tried Cheeseburger/Argentinian Steak/Garlic Baguette/Edam Cheese/Bratwurst Sausage which are all not bad.
I want to try Welsh Rarebit but haven't found any yet

I don't eat many crisps so haven't tried many but of the two I have tried the spag bol one was nice although it was just prawn cocktail tweaked. The french one is disgusting.

I did hear that there was a Scottish Haggis flavour one being released for north of the border but havent seen one.

Tried the German Sausage - which didn't taste like sausage at all but the Dutch Cheese did taste a bit like Edam.

Not too bothered about the American flavours.

Well surprise, surprise the English Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding one won!. They just taste like a blander version of the normal Beef flavour!.

I have tried English, American, Argentinian, Japanese, Australian and French.

Japanese and Australian are nice. The others all taste like flavours which are out all ready. Except French which is disgusting.

I would like to try them all but the promotion has probably ended. Quite gutted about that really no more Kangaroo crisps. :(
