Looking for some individual jam portions jam on ebay, (Long story) I found quite a few "mixed jam items" (for want of a better word)
It got me thinking, who comes up with such flavour combinations. Blackcurrant, strawberry, raspberry and apricot :puke:

Then there is Walkers crisps big bags, Cheese and onion, ready salted, prawn cocktail and salt and vinegar, :puke:

I know you can't please all the people all the time, but the 12 pack never used to have prawn cocktail. Why not chicken.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Question.
What flavour combinations (Doesn't have to be crisps) have you seen/got/ tried and you think why THAT combination or why have they not got (insert available flavour here*) with (insert other available flavour here*)

Wonder who came up with vanilla, strawberry and chocolate ice cream combination

* I am meaning a flavour that that company already make, not a fictitious flavour.

I can't speak to the crisps as I don't really know which flavours are most popular but with the jam it's simple, those 4 flavours are far and away the most common jams made and eaten.

Anyone remember "Hedgehog" flavoured crisps? there is "Haggis" flavoured crisps, as a person that likes haggis, the crisps are not too bad :wink: dont eat jam, but we all like certain flavours as we have been brought up with them, its as we grow up and find there is a whole new world of taste, I think there is still two types, Sweet or Savoury, my DW is sweet while Iam not. :roll:

I think cheese and onion as always been a flavour combination , long before the advent of processed foods.

Like scones , jam and cream

Roast a beef and Yorkshire puddings with horseradish

Lamb and mint sauce

Etc etc etc etc etc

I still want to know why 99% of toothpaste has to be minty flavoured. I want cheese and onion or crispy bacon flavour toothpaste.

mix packs, they sell the most popular to cover most demographics or just buy a case of the flavour you want

I do, I hate mint toothpaste. I been using a Fennel flavoured one for a long time now, it's the best of a not very wide choice outside of mint.

The first thing I do after brushing my teeth is to have a good slurp of tea to get rid of the taste of toothpaste.

I prefer my mouth to taste like my mouth.

If I remember correctly "Hedgehog" wasn't a flavour it was a Welsh brand of crisps.

I only buy crisp multi-packs in my chosen flavour, cheese and onion.

I don't want to not agree, but I have to.

I am sure someone brought out "hedgehog" flavour crisps. I guess it was walkers

Just googled it. Hedgehog foods ltd. did bring out a limited edition "hedgehog" flavour crisp in the early 80's. Actually flavoured with lard.

Nothing wrong with a bit of lard... or beef dripping.
