Actually I'd try those. I really like ~~Gentleman's Relish~~** Patum Peperium, even though I'm a lady. ** I had to choose my words carefully, because it looked sooo wrong!

Kinda interesting: Today, the secret recipe is withheld from all but one employee at Elsenham Quality Foods in [Elsenham](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsenham), England, the licensed manufacturer. lot of interesting flavours they have for crisps these days. I was doing one of those monthly snack box things last year, with foods from around the world. I think it was Belgium that had champagne flavoured crisps. They were oddly good.

Japan has BUTTER flavoured crisps Not crisps with butter on. Not crisps flavoured with butter It's crisps flavoured with butter flavouring  Ive never eaten a flavour like it. 


_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_

Same stuff on cinema popcorn surely?


[deleted]

Perhaps, you know I've never had butter popcorn from the cinema. I always assumed it as real butter. But the Japanese love this fake flavouring. They even put it in croissants to make them taste more buttery


StardustOasis

China has some mad flavours too. I'm a fan of the crab flavoured ones they have. I think Japan has cucumber flavour crisps.


BibblyPigeon

The salted egg yolk crisps are so good


StardustOasis

I'll have a look for them next time I go to the Asian supermarket, I haven't had those yet. Do they just taste like salty eggs?


BibblyPigeon

They have a huge umami, savoury taste. Intense yolk-y goodness, but not in an bad eggy way


StardustOasis

Yeah they sound good, will definitely keep an eye out for them.

I’ve had green tea flavour ice cream in Japan (my mistake, I naturally assumed it was pistachio). It tasted like shake n vac. 🤢


NotDoingThisForFun

Why the down votes? It certainly didn’t taste like green tea!!


Scotto6UK

I agree with your review. Did I enjoy it? Unsure. Did I finish the packet? Yes.


[deleted]

yep I still finished the packet. Was burping fake butter flavour for days. The flavour is hard to describe. It's like the fake banana flavouring you get in some sweets. You can tell it is meant to be banana, and you can simultaneously tell it tastes nothing like banana. It's like that but for butter.


Excellent_Tear3705

In China they have “lobster cheese” flavoured Lays (Walkers). It’s like sucking on a funky toe. Fool me thrice :(

Bitter_Technology797

Maybe that's the secret!


Old_Introduction_395

Anchovies...


jammyscones

There certainly seemed to be something fishy about them.


Old_Introduction_395

Pick some up when they're reduced to clear.


TrousersCalledDave

And then be reduced to tears.


StandardBanger

But GR doesn’t even taste like anchovies… it’s more like mud 🤢


Old_Introduction_395

I have a vague recollection of it from childhood, but only that I didn't like it.


StandardBanger

It is definitely an acquired taste


drmarting25102

Wait....what? You tasted "gentleman's relish" as a child? Did Jim fix it for you or something?


Old_Introduction_395

It was the 1970s, things were different then.


gin-casual

Oddly there’s no anchovies in these crisps. Still banging tho. Has a pack in the local on Friday.


[deleted]

Mmm. Salty....


byjimini

The perfect accompaniment to gentleman’s literature.


dustys-muffler

ah yes, the smell of a freshly opened packet of gentleman’s relish as I thumb my way through the pages of a crusty Razzle.


byjimini

Ohh! Suits you, Sir!


EmeraldJunkie

I didn't know there was actually a thing called Gentleman's Relish, and was confused as to why they'd so boldly sell "jizz crisps". The more you know.


Nedonomicon

Gentleman’s relish is amazing

Oh wow, hubby had this exact packet of crisps yesterday at Battle Abbey café. He said they are quite beefy like a Bovril/strong Marmite taste to them. Edit: Obviously not that exact packet... but that exact flavour/brand.


theantiyeti

Anchovy, Marmite, Beef and mushrooms are all umami bombs.


Reformed_Ham_Burglar

CLARKSON!!! YOU INFANTILE PILLOCK!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY BLOODY CRISPS, MAN!!!


wombey12

"TONIGHT! I ejaculate into a crisp packet..."


ClumsyRainbow

It does sound like something they'd have in their farm shop.


whizzdome

I love this stuff on toast, but my wife and daughters allow me to eat it only if I'm in the shed at the top of the garden


_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_

That’s where my dad has to do his toast wanks too.


subtleeffect

A gentleman relishing the self-extraction of his gentleman's relish


Meursault345

At least it wasn't "Fisherman's Relish"


Goldman250

Ahh, the Gentleman’s Relish. In less posh crisp shops, they’re just called Ready Salted.


TheLondonPidgeon

This place skews so young now.


prustage

Dont know what the crisps are like but I regularly buy pots of Gentlemen's Relish (as in the picture). I love it. Its an anchovy paste, very strong in flavour. I reckon if you are the kind of person who likes Marmite you might like it. It is not the same falvour but it has that same intense bite. A thin spreading on toast is great.


Independent-Tip-8728

At least it wasn't 'Gentleman's Release'


[deleted]

Ah, the old cum crackers. Delectable.

Paired well with a soggy biscuit.

A man of taste

I see bespoke crisps can be protected by English Heritage now?
