Anyone got any guesses?

i found a thread from before they came out
http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1616410
the poster had been issued samples which indicated they fell in to the categories:
Meaty, Spicy and Dairy

i'm pretty certain that meaty is B and is spam flavoured, or spam with brown sauce.

I've just eaten a packet of B and I'm thinking more sausage with brown sauce.

There used to be a sausage & tomato sauce out yrs ago, and a baked bean flavour loved them. I haven't tried the new three but I'm looking at guessing on the website, it's slow registering me tho'.

i think i am the only person that actually really likes spam. i recognised the flavour immediately. though i guess there could be other things that taste the same. i'm not exactly sure what spam tastes of.

I'm veggie so don't eat spam - but I know a lot of the meat flavoured crisps are suitable for vegetarians anyhow.
One pic of the crisps looks like salami?

it says on the back not to be influenced by the pictures, they're just pictures.

they are all suitable for vegetarians. normally it's the dairy ones that aren't. cheese and onion.

Oh right, didn't know about the pics! I know the cheese & onion never used to be vegetarian due to the rennet used in setting the cheese or something but think they had to correct that when mad cow was going around.

Interestingly i had some Walkers Sensations Chicken flavour at Xmas and they weren't vegetarian. First time i'd seen non-veggie crisps for ages.

Interesting! I love crisps but I really do try not to eat them, I would however not have checked 'sensations' being Walkers - just goes to show I should continue label reading during shopping which winds my meat loving hubby up!

it just shows how vague crisp flavours are, when no one id sure what the mystery flavours are.

Then again, do cheese and onion, really taste of cheese and onion?

Thanks, fortunately my favourite flavour if in doubt is salted but I do tend not to eat crisps if I can due to fat/calories etc however, it's good to know what to look out for.

Chicken Tikka Masala, Donner Kebab, and Cream Cheese and Chive, my guesses having had one of each crisp earlier today.

I have a t-shirt with a picture of spam on it. and a spam cook book. the etymology is not a mystery to me. it's the specifics. 'spiced' is a bit of an umbrella term.

I must be one of the only people who can't stand Walkers crisps. Everywhere you go whether it be in pubs or shops it's always bleeding Walkers. Totally overated in my opinion. I much prefer Seabrooks. The flavours are more intense and the texture is a lot nicer. I also like real crisps like Tyrrels, Red Sky or Kettle Chips but it's nearly always Walkers. When I go to Sainsburys and get the meal deal sandwich, drink and crisps it's always only available no Walkers and I don't like Walkers crisps.

Why do people think they are the be all and end all of crisps?

My guesses here are;

Cream Cheese and Chive
Sausage and Tomato
Lamb Rogan Josh

What is the point of this however? Will any of them become mainstream choices once the promo is over and the flavours are revealed?

I remember the other promo they did 3-4 years ago when Builders Breakfast won out of a range of weird flavours, but I have never seem them since, so what did that actually achieve?

What ever happened to the Walkers crisps from the 'Do Us A Flavour" competition a few years back?

Chicken Tikka Masala being the UK's supposed most popular restaurant dish seems an obvious crisp flavour.

I read about them in a thread on here. If I hadn't then I wouldn't have looked for them. Anyway, I bought a 6 pack the other day but haven't got around to having a bag yet.

I don't fancy trying them. I hated all the walkers weird flavours they've done like the breakfast and stuff. All bloody horrible.

I'd guess

Dairy - Cream Cheese and Chive
Meaty - Sausage and Brown Sauce
Spicy - Lamb Samosa

I quite liked the meaty ones but didn't like the spicy ones only ate half the packet.

I'd go with that. though i think the sausage is spam.

i definitely sensed samosa in spicy. i'm surprised at cream cheese and chive, i mean that is what it tastes like, but i thought it would be more exotic.

I bought a packet by mistake yesterday, I just grabbed the first bag I saw as I was in a hurry. I couldn't work out what the flavour was but it wasn't very nice. I like to know what the flavour is supposed to be when i'm eating so won't be buying them again. I like to eat my sarnie with a bag of crisps, not analyze the bloody things.
