Strážnícké brambůrky jemně solené - Petr Hobža

Back in 1988, the Hobža couple had an idea: Place a pile of sliced potatoes on a pan for the visitors to an outdoor cinema to have something tasty to eat together with their pint. None of them knew, though, that just a few years later they would be selling tons of crisps in Czechia and Slovakia.

Selected Czech potatoes of small size are washed, thin flat sliced, washed again in clean water, centrifuged and fried in abundant rapeseed oil (36% of final product). Only then a pinch of salt is added, resulting in light yellow translucent crisps with a reasonable crunch and unique aroma.

Classically Ready Salted - Walkers

Very thin crisps. So thin that daylight can go through along the whole crispy surface. The Classically Ready Salted from Walkers are a historical snack salted with salt from Chesire (1.4%). Apparently, a very long time ago, in the Triassic period, some parts of Chesire were flooded with seawater. Those big salt reserves are nowadays used, for example, to spice up this Walkers' snack.

British potatoes are fried in a mixture of sunflower oil (26%) and rapeseed oil. Their taste is classical, as its labeling. 
The crisps are rather small in diameter and do not sate. Its crunch, short and powerful, leaves an airy sensation.
