Marks and Spencer's Hand Cooked Bloody Mary potato crisps (chips)

Hands up who had a hangover.

No? Either I don't believe you. Or more likely, you are still drunk.

In the UK, when one requires a certain "hair of the dog" the next morning. One more than likely turns to that most reviving of drinks, the  Bloody Mary. That amazing cocktail of tomato juice, Worcester Sauce, tabasco, optionally perhaps some salt and pepper and a natty celery-stick mixing spoon but most importantly, a double shot of vodka.

Well, no longer do we have to restrict ourselves to a liquid lunch.

Marks and Spencer, our favourite semi-upmarket purveyor of ready-meals has come up with the Hand Cooked Bloody Mary flavour crisp:




They are quite robust, rustic things,. In a similar way to old-style Kettle chips.
True to the cocktail they do contain (dried) tomatoes and celery (extract). They also contain garlic and onion  and cardamon, taste more or a spicy taco seasoning than of tabasco and I no matter how hard I try I can't find any alcohol in them.

So, sorry M+S. While these are nice enough in a spicy tomato kind of way. I might have to continue to seek my Sunday refreshments at the hand of the barman instead.

chips, crisps
