I’ve been sent a whole list – well, several lists, in fact – of flavours we’ve missed, so I’m going to try to add them all to the Flavour Index over the next few days. I’ve just added these ones, sent in by Heidi and Hilary, which takes the total up to 1362 flavours: AndContinue reading “How do we keep the Flavour Index up-to-date!?”

Sorry for not replying to emails!
We’ve been very remiss here at the Museum of Crisps at checking our emails. I’ll have to put it down to technophobia combined with too much real life going on.

Despite being a bit of a blight on the other candidates,Continue reading “Mr Tayto, election candidate, best-selling author and influencer”
