No squirrels were harmed in making these crisps

Chilli and chocolate, crispy duck with hoisin sauce and Cajun squirrel were among a tastebud-testing new range of crisp flavours launched in the UK this week. The flavours, chosen by the public and developed with the help of top chief, Heston Blumethal, also include fish and chips, builder's breakfast and onion bhaji.

The six flavours were chosen from more than a million suggestions sent in to crisp makers, Walkers, after they launched their "Do Us A Flavour" campaign last year to find out the British public's snack tastes. They will be sold until May, after which there will be a vote to decide which flavour stays on sale permanently. The creator of the winner will get £50,000 plus one percent of future sales.

I wonder if they’ll need to put “May Include Nuts” warnings on the Cajun squirrel flavour packets....
