Monster Munch Roast Beef Snacks, 40g (Pack of 30)

Product Information

The original flavour for Monster Munch when it launched was Roast Beef, followed by Pickled Onion flavours a year later and Saucy in 1981. The flavour here builds and builds and makes you keep going back for more and more – a bit like Pringles they are just addictive.

The most identifiable taste was an utter absence of flavour, but don’t mistake ‘identifiable’ for popular. Recreating Pickled Onion Monster Munch featured as a challenge in Channel 4's Snackmasters programme [21] in 2019, featuring chefs Tristan Welch and Matt Worswick.Like tomato ketchup and the claim that it covers the five basic tastes – that’s why it’s such a popular condiment. She says: “I was ­terrified of flying but also very worried that I wouldn’t find any Monster Munch in Spain.

At Christmas, Debbie ­prepares and cooks all the food, but when her family sit down to their roast dinners, she heads for the cupboard for her crisps. Currently, Walkers have made all of the flavours vegetarian but not vegan, so not right now, but above you’ll find a good option if you’re craving something very similar or how about finding out the answer to can vegans eat wotsits. A tiny percentage of an odorant can completely change how you identify it, if you can identify it at all,” says Spence. She says: “When I have tried to eat something else my body isn’t used to it and I simply can’t eat or, if I do, it makes me sick. If you think of a Thai green curry, a Thai green curry crisp is as far removed from Thai green curry as you can possibly get.

It’s the other elements – the yeast extract, the onion and black pepper – that are going to give you that beefy whiff.
