fox123 Posted 9 January 2009 Posted 9 January 2009 Sauce - Deliberate before the grammar police come out! Walkers unveils flavour winnersWalkers have unveiled the winners in their unusual flavours competition pa.press.net Crisps that taste of chilli and chocolate, onion bhaji and even Cajun squirrel are being unleashed on the public as part of a Walkers competition to find a new flavour. Walkers launched its Do Us A Flavour campaign last July, challenging members of the public to think up a unique flavour of crisp. Fish and chips, crispy duck and hoi sin, and builder's breakfast have also made the finals of the public search. Chef Heston Blumenthal and a judging panel picked the top six entries from more than one million, and Walkers turned the ideas into reality. The crisps can be bought from all supermarkets until May, either individually or in a special multipack containing all six flavours. Blumenthal said: "The complexities of flavour fascinate me and to watch the British public get so excited about taste has been absolutely inspiring. "We've had an incredible response and sifting through the entries has been quite incredible. I can't wait to see which on the public choose as their winner!" Votes cast on the Walkers website between now and May 1 will decide which flavour stays permanently on sale, and the creator will win £50,000, on top of the £10,000 that each finalist has already received. One per cent of profits from all future sales will also be handed to the winner. The crisp manufacturer revealed that, if sales should reach that of its BBQ flavour for example, the winner would receive around £57,000 a year. What would your flavour be?
BoneDog Posted 9 January 2009 Posted 9 January 2009 Cajun frickin squirrel flavour crisps!? I canna wait. Fish and chips will be good too. Chocolate is just wrong though
The Reverend Posted 9 January 2009 Posted 9 January 2009 Anybody called Heston Blumenthal should just be killed on the spot.
Unabomber Posted 9 January 2009 Posted 9 January 2009 Would have liked lamb madras flavour to be in there somwhere.
stez Posted 9 January 2009 Posted 9 January 2009 vote? hmm, of that lot it's between builders breakfast and onion bhaji cajun chicken would've won it for me, but squirrel?! not that i've ever had squirrel, so obviously, i'm not qualified to comment, these days.

fox123 Posted 10 January 2009 Author Posted 10 January 2009 I can see onion bhaji being a little Cheese N Onion with a hint of Banana. Cajan Squirrel will have a nutty flavour. Builders Breakfast will probably overpowered by smokey bacon. Chocolate N Chilli - Sweet N Sour maybe with a bit of a kick Fish N chips - Very Vinegary Duck with Hoi Sin - Very sweet
Guest Bilo Posted 10 January 2009 Posted 10 January 2009 Walkers should have gone for the Korean market. Sticky Doggy Pudding flavour would be a huge seller in Seoul.
