A large chip producer in the UK has organized a competition for the new flavors of this snack. In the first stage of the competition, among the proposals, among others. “paprika- chocolate”, “fries and fish” i… “squirrels a la cajun”. Among the selected types of chips, which can be bought from all supermarkets on Wednesdays, individually or in a set, you can find the aromas of the Indian bhaji onion fritters popular in the UK and the typical British junk food “fish and chips”, that is, fried fish and chips. There is also a more exotic Chinese “crispy duck baked in hoisin sauce” from grated colored beans, garlic, sugar and ginger. While “squirrel a la cajun” reminds us of the modest cuisine of French settlers from the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in the USA. Cajuns (ok. 600 thousand. people) they live mainly in the south of the state of Louisiana. They came there in the second half of the 17th century from Brittany, Normandy, Ile-de-France, and also in 100 years later, when the French were displaced from the shores of eastern Canada. Then more refugees from Haiti joined them. They were called. poor white southerners: poor farmers, hunters, fishermen or small artisans. The squirrel flavor for the crisps was proposed by 26-year-old Martyn Wright, internet retailer, which was suggested by the name of the dish on the menu in the restaurant. “The light aroma will appeal to consumers, and although the idea itself may seem strange, it really works” – he declared.
The last of the new crisps' aromas is “the builder's breakfast”, consisting of eggs, bacon, sausages and beans. The manufacturer announced the competition in July last year under the slogan “Do Us a Flavour” (think of a fragrance for us), referring to a favor request (The. favour). Company, owned by Pepsi, received over a million proposals. Now in the UK you can vote for your favorite flavor 1 house. It will go into constant production, and its originator will get 50 thousand. pounds and 1 percentage of profits from the sale of chips with this flavor. This could be an amount of 57 thousand. pounds per year. Each of the authors of the six candidatures has already been awarded with an amount 10 thousand. pounds.
