Review: Asda Korean Gochujang Hand Cooked Crisps
Not knowing what Gochujang is, I had high hopes for these crisps because it sounds special, like abracadabra or progressive taxation.
Sadly, adding as many spices as you can find to British potatoes, and wrapping it high contrast chilli-based graphics did not create the flavour harmony I hoped for.
It reminded me of the state of politics: the taste equivalent of the Cabinet beg-screaming angry words at us with no chance it will combine to anything useful.
If you keep layering the spices/lies, then maybe eventually it will taste/sound like something new and delicious not an incoherent mess of deranged evil dreams, childlike Thatcher-fetishes and poverty denial.
What felt like at least five types of spice, a lot of sugar and eerie red powder combined to leave my mouth in a state of taste-panic and my fingers pink for days. These crisps trigger too many neurones simultaneously like being in the lighting department of a haunted British Home Stores whilst listening to Seig Seig Sputnik.
Unless you like your politics devoid of ideology, evidence, compassion and hope (and are possibly having the best week of your life) then chances are these crisps are not for you.
No.
