SMITH’S MEXICAN BURRITO POTATO CHIPS

Mexican food madness is still rife in Australia. From fine dining to roadside trucks, if you add the words ‘taco’ or ‘burrito’ to your menu, expect a queue. I didn’t have to queue to get into this packet of chips, which is a relief, because that would be strange and off-putting. Something

I did find a little off-putting, though, was the packaging – that fleshy, beef-filled burrito was quite confronting. And it wasn’t just the meat, either; it looks like a bad burrito, the kind a uni student (probably an engineering major) might make. Maybe that’s the market, and if so, good job, Smith’s. These are your classic ‘work farewell party’ chips. While I enjoyed the intensity of flavour, I wasn’t convinced it was Mexican

I was eating, more spiced-up tomato. But maybe that’s what engineering-student packetmix Mexican burritos taste like. I can live with that. CC
