Tyrrells Crisps have officially come stateside and to celebrate, we were sent their top flavors to taste test here in the Anglotopia office. At the end of the review, see instructions for your chance to win a 6 month supply of these delicious treats from Britain.
The Brits may call them crisps, the Americans call them potato chips, but I call Tyrrells Hand Cooked Chips simply delicious. We here at the Anglotopia offices were recently surprised with a giant box of crisps from Tyrrell’s. I won’t lie, I am not much of a crisp eater, however when I do travel to Britain, crisps are on my must eat list. I can’t explain why, they just seem to taste better over there. My real weakness is the salt and vinegar variety. I love the interesting flavored ones too, like prawns. I’ve never seen prawn flavored potato chips here in the United States.
So when I opened the box from Tyrrells my heart leapt with delight. Not only were there sea salt with apple cider vinegar chips but lots of other uniquely British combinations as well. In all we tried; Worcester sauce with Sun Dried Tomato, Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper, Beetroot with Parsnips and Carrots and Sea Salt Veggie Crisps, Sweet Chilli and Red Pepper, Mature Cheddar and Chives, and of course classic Salted. All of these crisps were out of this world delicious!
It doesn’t get more English than Tyrrells – here’s a bit about their process:
We’re Tyrrells of Tyrrells Court Farm and we make fine English chips from local Herefordshire potatoes. We cook them by hand in small batches and we always leave the skin on. We reckon they’re rather special, but then we would, wouldn’t we? By far the best strategy is for you to grab a bag, dig in and see if you agree.
I can honestly say that these were some of the best crisps that I’ve ever had on either side of the Atlantic Ocean. The flavors were bold and super tasty. I also really liked that the crisps resembled a “kettle cooked” chip as we Americans say, meaning a thicker chip. I was expecting to find at least one bag that didn’t suit my fancy, but I was sorely mistaken. These crisps are like nothing else in the snack isle in the United States right now. I thought to myself that they are unique enough that the could even be served at a party. I highly recommend you give Tyrrells a try. I know this office will be buying more soon!
Now, to help celebrate the official US launch of Tyrrells Chips, we’re offering up a chance to win a 6 month supply of Tyrrells Crisps. You will receive 1 shipment a month for 6 months with the following flavors: Lightly Sea Salted, Mature Cheddar & Chive, Sweet Chili and Red Pepper, Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar, Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper, Worcestershire Sauce & Sundried Tomato. Sounds like a tasty prize!
To enter all you need to do is leave a comment below and tell us your favorite Tyrrells Crisp flavor! We will pick 1 lucky winner on Tuesday, February 12th 2013. This contest is only open to the USA. The winner will be contacted via email.

Sweet Chili and Red Pepper, especially with soup in the Winter!
I’m always looking for a really good salt and vinegar crisp! The mature cheddar and chives sound fabulous too.
Wondering how different Tyrrell’s “crisps” could be from an American brand with the same seasoning … thicker … thinner … crisper ?
sea salt and cider vinegar sounds yummy!

Mature Cheddar and Chives – YUMMY!!!
lightly salted by the sea is the one that does it for me
Lightly Sea Salted – you can really taste the potato.
Lightly Sea Salted is my favorite!

I have only been brave enough to try the sea salt, but would love to try some more flavors then I can develop more favorites.
What, no Prawn flavoured? No Chicken Tikka?
I guess I’d have to try the Mature Cheddar and Chives, then!
O, woe is me, To have seen what I have seen, see what I see! And yet, to have ne’er seen a Tyrrells Crisp. I do not — can not — have a favorite. But in general, a good salt-and-vinegar crisp is hard to beat. If Tyrrells is indeed the best of the best, I WILL find them some day.
Cheddar and Chives, mmmmm!
Lightly sea salt is one of my favorites- it is ten times better than American chips.

Sea salt and vinegar is the best, although I have to admit I haven’t tried them all – yet.

Feed me Chili Pepper anytime–night or late night.
I have never had the pleasure of trying Tyrrell’s Crisps – but I definitely will whenever I find them in a grocery here in the States. All the various varieties sound excellent! It would be hard to choose just one favorite. Thanks for sharing with your Yankee Cousins.
I love the Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar crisps in my sandwiches for added crunch!!
Having never had the opportunity to try them I’m gonna guess that Beetroot would tickle my fancy.
My favorite is Mature Cheddar & Chive. Yum!
Sea salt and cider vinegar please. I discovered this flavor in England and it has become one of my favorites.
I had the Lightly Sea Salt crisps last summer while we were visiting friends in Banbury. Delish!!!
I LOVE their parsnip flavoured crisps. Whenever I’m in the UK I pop down to Waitrose to get some!
Beetroot chips are a wonderful treat for me
Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper!! Yummm
I have not tried these yet, so they are on my list for May. Based on the flavors listed, I will say Lightly Sea Salted.
Mature Cheddar and Chives for me
I really love sea salt and cider vinegar !! Tangy crisps make my mouth happy!
lightly sea salted
I tired my first bag of Tyrrell’s which was the Sweet Chili and Red Pepper last May while visiting Dunham Massey in Altrincham. Very yummy flavor with a great crispy crunch- I’d love to try the other varieties!
Love the Worchestershire and sun dried tomato flavor. Having a six-month supply would be sterling, dearie! Great offer.
I love me some mature cheddar and chives! I would love to win me some crisps!
Mature Cheddar and Chive would be my first choice. However, the combinations of Worcestershire and sun-dried tomato and sea-salt and cider vinegar have really whet my appetite.
I’ve yet to taste them, but the worcestershire sauce and sun dried tomato sounds interesting. That’s tom-AH-to not tom-AY-to I would imagine. Send me some.
cheddar and chive–yum!
Beetroot with Parsnips and Carrots…Brilliant!
I’d love them all, but Worcester sauce with Sun Dried Tomato would probably be my favorite!
The worcester sauce flavor sounds awesome. I’m going to go look for these. Hopefully they’ll have some curry flavored ones too!
Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar! So tasty.
I’m all about spicy foods, sooooo… Sweet Chili and Red Pepper.
I’m a simple person-lightly salted please.
Mature Cheddar and Chives would be grand
Sweet chili & red pepper would be my fave but I would like to try all of them!
Oooo Put my name in for this one. You are right, I liked “crisps” better while I was in the UK, so if I get some and eat them HERE in the USA, I can finally figure out if the chips are really better or if it’s just theatmosphere that makes them taste so good!
My favorite favor-so far! – is Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper!
Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar. Excited they’re available in the states!
Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar
Love the prawn flavoured chips! Addicting.
Sweet Chili and Red Pepper
Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar – I am so there!
Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper! Oh, how I miss them!
The peppered kind is delish! We visit our friends in Leicester and every time we do, we go down to his corner shop and get the peppered ones. I really hope they bring that flavor to America!!
Seasalt and cider Vinegar — absolutely!
Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar,
The mature cheddar and chive are delicious, plus, look at those women on the package. They are wonderful!
Love Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar. Excellent promotion. Keep up the great work!
Lightly sea salted! Just thinking about them gives me a craving.
My favorite: Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper
Whether you call them chips or crisps I’m addicted to them – Sea Salt Veggie Crisps interest me most since I just finished a package of “veggie chips” yesterday.
Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar–my mouth is watering as I write!
I don’t think I’ve ever tried Tyrrell’s Crisps, but I read over the list of flavors on their website, and the one I’d most like to try is Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar. I love “standard” salt and vinegar chips, and I’m not sure what the difference is between “regular” vinegar and Cider Vinegar, but it sounds delish!
Cheddar and Chives
Seasalt and cider vinegar….YUM!!!!
Cheddar and chives
Never tried them before. But, as an Anglophile, the Worcestershire Sauce & Sundried Tomato ones sound delicious.
These crisps look extremely delicious and ingredients are making them full of delicious possibilities. Can’t wait to get hold of these.
the sea salt and cider. couldnt get enough of them when i was there.
I have to go with the classic Salted!
Blow me down! This is wonderful news! (its about time we have some /crisp/ occupying our aisles) Sea salt & Cider vinegar….I think yes!
Lightly salted is my first choice. Cheddar second.
Sweet Chili…! Definitely!
I should say my favorite is the lightly salted.
Mature cheddar and chive for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worcestershire Sauce & Sundried Tomato are superior!
SEA SALT & CIDER VINEGAR! SIMPLY DELICIOUS!
