Taylors Boxing Day Curry Crisps - 150g

Crisps are where British food lets itself have a bit of fun. Every winter the shelves at home fill up with flavours named after Christmas dinner, and the curry made from what is left of it has earned its place among them.

Boxing Day is a holiday in Canada too, but the leftover curry is a habit people carry with them from home. When the big day is over and the house is quiet, a bag of these is a small, salty taste of how it used to go.

This is a 150g bag, a proper one for sharing rather than one for the lunchbox. Unopened, it sits happily in the cupboard until the Christmas snacks come out. Once it is open, tip it into a bowl and accept that it is now everybody's.

They go where crisps always go at Christmas: next to the cold meats, the pickle and the cheeseboard on the Boxing Day table, or tucked in a stocking for someone who misses home. Add a few other British crisps and you have the Boxing Day cupboard sorted.
