Mega Monster Munch Roast Beef Crisps

In only 13 days our international snack store will open for business!  We will eventually sell the best snacks from around the world with shipping to everywhere.  On January 1st we will release 33 British Snacks and make them available for purchase online.  Each month following we will add a new country to our store.  Leading up to grand opening we are reviewing a British Snack everyday.  Today our snack is the Mega Monster Munch Roast Beef Crisps.

"The large individual pieces are very enjoyable to eat. The flavor is definitely unique..."

This is our second visit with Mega Monster Munch and this is among a handful of snacks I personally enjoyed while living in England during my childhood.  Earlier this month we reviewed Mega Monster Munch Pickled Onion.  Today we are taking a look at their Roast Beef flavor.  Just like pickled onion, this is not a snack flavor that is readily available or used in the US.

Our sample comes form the variety pack and is rather small.  The bag is yellow with a happy purplish-pink monster in the center.  The monster is enjoying claw shaped crisps in his mouth with his tongue hanging out to our left.  The text in the right corner reads “massive hunks of ROAST BEEF flavor baked corn snack” and to the left, a red corner marked new that has been crossed out.  It then reads “ OLD! Bigger like they used to be.”   Although I do not remember their size of the actual snack from many years ago, I was taken back to my youth with a whiff of the open bag.  So how do Mega Monster Munch Roast Beef taste?

We will start our review of Monster Munch Roast Beef with the pros.  The large individual pieces are very enjoyable to eat.  The flavor is definitely unique, although it does have similar undertones as the pickled onion version.  Overall it’s a pretty enjoyable snack from England.  As you may have guessed though, there are some cons.  The flavor was too mild.  Unlike the Pickled Onion Monster Munch this version seemed a little bland.  It left our testers looking for more flavor.  The flavor it did have, although enjoyable, did not taste very much like roast beef.  That may be a pro though, not sure how we’d like a crisp that tastes exactly like roast beef.  The seasoning reminded me personally of Ramen Noodles.  For those living abroad, it’s a very cheap noodle sold in the US that has overlay salty and unrecognizable flavors.  Although we will offer American Snacks starting on February 1st, Ramen Noodles will not be among them.

Well there you have it.  Not all the snacks we review from England can be the best.  Overall we’d recommend you try the Mega Monster Munch Roast Beef Crisps for yourself.  Soon you will be able to have them shipped to you, no matter where you live!  We are still determining which countries will be added to our international snack store in 2014.  If you have a favorite, be sure to vote here.  Also to stay up-to-date leave your details to the right.  Keep on snacking!
