THE LEGENDARY TRADITION RETURNS! 5TH CYCLE OF THE WALKERS LIMITED EDITION CRISPS

Even Though The Enlightened Page has gained fame as a wrestling results site, It had a humble beginning as a humour site, made in a school project. The very 1st time I wrote about? Limited Edition crisp flavours. As every year the Page developed, Walkers released new flavours, (Though Red Nose Walkers was a Close call to not ever happening in Ireland!)

Last year, Repackaging the crisps to have Real Locally Sourced Ingredients, Killed the Promotion in lieu of a cash giveaway. But this year it's back, But with the consensus that each flavour contains 1 of Walkers Locally Sourced Ingredients: Cheddar, Chicken, Tomatoes, Pork, Sour Cream or Aberdeen Angus Steak.

Let's Start!

WINNER OF THE CHEESE RECIPE: BAKED BEANS ON CHEESY TOAST

Package colour: Blue
Taste/Appearance: As I Thought would happen, The baked Beans has completely overpowered the taste of the cheese, to the point I can't even tell if their was Cheese used!

WINNER OF THE CHICKEN RECIPE: CHIP SHOP CHICKEN CURRY

Package colour: Orange (Natch!)
Flavour/Appearance: I  open the bag and smell of curry spices and potato starch overpower my olfactory senses, Making me have a Marcel Proust-esque "Madeline Moment" taking me back to when I had an office job 7 years ago, when Walker had this flavour on it's XL Line. A delicious blast from the past but it's not the only 1

WINNER OF THE TOMATO RECIPE: HOT DOG

Package Colour: Red (natch!!)
Flavour/Appearance: After Washing the spicy residue off my hands to uncorrupt the flavours Another blast from the past, from World Cup Walkers 4 years ago, only this time the tomato was more evident with a red power, ketchup and zest of the tomatoes combined with a pork char. scrumptious!

WINNER OF THE PORK RECIPE: PULLED PORK IN A STICKY BBQ SAUCE

Package Colour: Pink
