Piranha: Golden Hash Potato Grills and Soy Snack Mix (29 June 2010)

17 Elizabeth Street, Campsie NSW 2194

59 snack samples to enjoy

OMG ... so what does one do when they receive 59 packets of snack food — share them of course. Thanks to Alex of Tixana for generously supplying three full boxes of all their eight Potato Grill flavours and soy snack mix varieties to sample as a personal appreciation of letting them know how much I enjoyed their Piranha Golden Hash Potato Grills Sea Salt I first discovered back in June. What better way to try them — and share the calories — than to have a major taste test with all my work colleagues. Everyone seemed pretty impressed with the variety available and the crunchy texture of the chips.

When sampling so many flavours at a time it can get a bit hard to appreciate the difference in flavours because the stronger and spicier tasting chips would overpower the taste of the lighter tasting chips. It was best to give a little bit of time between eating them to better appreciate the flavours. Overall one of the favourites of the day was the Maxi Grain Smokehouse Barbeque Waves which I'd have to agree with. So crunchy and tasty yet quite light and melty in the mouth — it was like fine shavings of pork crackling to me, but not exactly. A personal favourite is the Potato Grill Balsamic Vinegar and Sea Salt flavour which is quite distinctive in taste but one of the most spicy and strongest flavours was the Potato Grill Saucy Barbeque which pretty much neutralised your taste buds in tasting any of the other flavours immediately after it.

The Flame Thrower Mild Chilli Lime Peanut and Soy Snack Mix was quite well received and we all expected the Flame Thrower Hot Chilli BBQ Peanut and Soy Snack Mix to be even hotter in taste but it seemed pretty much the same level of spiciness. I still have most of the Vege crackers left to open but so far the Vege Crackers French Onion was very nice.

Piranha Golden Hash Potato Grills: My new favourite chips (14 June 2010)

Crispy Yumness

Is yumness actually a real word? Anyway I bought these little delights for the first time to have as a snack on my Spit Bridge to Manly walk (which was also my first time). What better way to enjoy Sea Salt flavour than by the sea. The Manly Scenic Walkway is such a lovely walk and when I got to about the half way point the views looking towards the North and South Head were fantastic. Be sure to check out the 500m side track down towards the lighthouse — it's well worth it. You really have to pick a nice day for this walk and be sure to take some water and a few snacks or even a light packed lunch and find a nice spot with a view. Depending on your speed and rest stops it can take about 3 or so hours at a nice pace. If you’re driving to the Spit Bridge to start your walk you'll find free parking available on Parriwi Road a bit up the hill. I caught the bus back from Manly to Spit Bridge to get back to the car.

I now want to find and try all the Piranha eight flavours:

• Sea Salt
• Saucy BBQ
• Sour Cream & Sweet Chilli
• Tomato, Herbs & Cheddar
• Creamy Mild Mushroom
• Roast Chicken Herb Seasoning
• Balsalmic Vinegar and Sea Salt
• BBQ & Cream Cheese
