@cstross My neighbor is some kind of food engineer who was on the team that made this flavor! (For another brand I think.) I asked if they were just tasting random chemicals and naming them based on what they reminded them of. He said it was entirely the other way! The marketing team made a campaign about farm life and wanted related flavors. So they intentionally made this taste like fried eggs. 🤯

They taste great to be fair.

@cstross We get jamon-flavoured crisps down here, and they're not far off the mark.

I was going to comment about the generally bonkers range of flavours available in this country, then I noticed the language on your packet. Yeah, it's like that here.
