I am constantly asked, and I assume you are as well, what food I miss most as a vegan. I don’t really have a set answer because it all depends on my mood. Sometimes I miss seafood as I used to be a big lover of shellfish. Sometimes I miss home cooking, like my mum’s fried chicken or my late grandmother’s cream puffs. But one constant craving that has never gone away, and will be with me until my dying day, is cheese flavoured chips.
All cheese flavoured chips, too. Cheese Twisties which are so far better than chicken Twisties that you can only measure the distance between them with the James Webb Space Telescope. Cheese and Onion chips from my work vending machine used to be a lifeline. But, above all of these, the greatest ever cheese chips were the original CC’s cheese flavour circa 1993.
This is from before the Tasty Cheese/Nacho Cheese splinter. Before limited edition packets and spicy flavours. A time before COVID and James Corden. The good old days.
Somehow, Wholesome Food Company have re-animated my tastebuds and have transported me back to those CC’s multi-pack packets in my lunchbox. This is bizarre because I remember my teachers in primary school telling me that CC’s had the worst collection of artificial flavourings and food colourings of any other chip on the market, yet these Wholesome Food Company chips are made from non-nuclear ingredients.
All of those ingredients are both words I recognise and words that don’t make me feel like I’m eating cigarettes. I know it’s still unhealthy that I eat 10 bags at a time, but not THAT unhealthy, right?
