Not Just Any Potato Crisps

So, when I was in Scotland I found out that there were a lot more types of potato chips (or crisps, as they are called there) than the garden variety we have here. Now (I think) there are a couple more flavors, but in Scotland they have just about everything--from original to salt & vinegar to sausage & ketchup to worcester sauce to Heinz tomato ketchup to marmite yeast extract (ICK!) to pickled onion to honey roast wiltshire ham to roast beef & onion to roast chicken & herb to chargrilled steak & peppercorn sauce, to slow roasted lamb & mint to roast pork & creamy mustard sauce to (the one I absolutely refused to try out of pure ) prawn cocktail.

I have recently discovered a flavor that I have to admit is my new favorite, and the brand I have been buying is Kettle, since this is the only brand I can find thus far to sell this flavor: Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper. I'm sure this isn't a new or crazy concept, but it is new to me, and I think it's fantastic. I love the spiciness the pepper brings to the chip. So, give it a try!
