Cornish Pasty Crisps | The Lusty Pirate
Cornish Pasty Flavoured Crisps
A surprise and kind gift from a thoughtful (veggie) colleague was a packet of Lusty Pirate, Cornish pasty flavoured crips.
The packet of crisps (suitable for Coeliacs whatever they may be) promised
As soon as you open a bag up, the distinctive aroma of the Cornish pasty hits you – there’s no mistaking it.
Well there was indeed a beefy whiff but taste wise (now remember I am no fan of flavoured crips – cheese and onion is the only infrequent deviation from ready salted) they were “not bad” with what I felt was a strong pleasing taste of oven baked pastry crust – shortcrust pastry that’ll be as in a true cornish pasty.
A genuine potato crisp indeed – maybe we shall see cornish pasty shaped reconstituted potato snacks (like Pringles) in the near future.
Lusty Pirate Peg Leg Confusion
Visiting the Lusty Pirate website (are they actually part of Burts overpriced crisps emporium with their own branded site?) I couldn’t fail to notice a serious continuity error.
Update – 27th May 2010 – can’t find the server at www.lustypirate.com Jeez
Even through the mist of Fireworks, Flash and Frames I notice that the lusty pirate has pegs on different legs on the About Us and Contact Us pages.
I have to send them feedback – you may wish to do so too . . . .

Hmm interesting. I havn’t tried this brand yet but I must say the Burts crisps are expensive but bloddy nice! I’ll keep on the lookout for the confused pirate leg.
I heard that these little tasty treats are so good, thanks for sharing your article, I really enjoyed it.
An now they are making crisps? I have to try some… I am off to search the internet for a bag of these

You might note that his eyepatch changes too. Perhaps the page is delivered from a mirror server?
Crisps and cornish pasies, both of my favourite things, well if they could make it tase good with cheese then id be amazed (my other favourite thing. So glad that our iconic cornish pasty is being diversified, although i havn’t seen these anywhere and tried to find them with no joy, has anyone found a stockist yet?
i do love cornish pasties these are one of my favorite foods, i enjoy eating with it while watching TV with my family.

Thanks for finding and posting about your review of cornish pasty flavoured crisps, Pasty Muncher.
In my continued quest to taste the flavour myself…. I clicked on the Lusty Pirate website and it’s got a DNS error.
Booo hooo will I ever taste them.
Only joking Pasty Muncher – keep up the excellent blog.
