The fabulous Burts Chips recently ran a competition to find the Ultimate Crisp Sandwich - you can see the winning sandwich recipe at burtschips.com. It started me thinking about what MY Ultimate Crisp Sandwich would be.
Husband and I are off to Sorrento next month. We had an amazing holiday there last year with so many good things to eat and drink. I must surely have eaten my body weight in mozzarella and beef in all its forms: bresaola, carpaccio, butter soft fillet steaks... So that was my starting point.
Next important question was which flavour of crisps would be the perfect match for my sandwich? Obvious choice seemed like Devon Roast Beef. But actually that was a bit too overall beefy. Vintage Cheddar and Spring Onion? No, too overpowering. Thai Sweet Chilli? A bit weird with the mozzarella. Spicy Chorizo? Maybe but not perfect.
Next up, Firecracker Lobster. Now, I wouldn't normally buy these, imagining the awful smell of the prawn cocktail crisps I hated so much as a kid. But BINGO! These are an entirely different thing. They added some lovely sweetness, with a hint of chilli, plus the crunch. I had finally found my Ultimate Crisp Sandwich, and even better, I got to eat lots of delicious crisps and call it research!
