Roast Beef flavoured crisps seems fine.
Roast Ox flavoured crisps on the other-hand sounds faintly repulsive...

Wow. ox crisps? Wait till Walkers get their hands on it. Could it spell the end for Gary Linekers advertising career? Junk food never ceases to amuse - constant one upmanship with the wackiest names and flavours they can think of:
My flat mate and I reached a culinary high point one evening digging in the freezer section of a local cornershop. We never imagined it would throw up the question "what is analogue cheese".

What makes Real Crisps so real?
"Real Crisps are available in many retail outlets, for example supermarkets, pubs, off licences, shops and many other places where you would expect to buy crisps."
That sounds like crisps to me! And there I was thinking 'Real' was just a lazy nod at the greenwash...

The only place that seems to serve them is the Barley Mow on Horseferry Road

They don't taste great...

Might have tasted better if you didn't know what flavour to expect...

Or is that just wishful marketing?

You can get them at the Marylebone Tup and they taste pretty good. They appealed to us as a group of blokes who love meat. It was hard to resist a packet of Ox flavoured crisps.
Agree about the imaginative brand name of "Real Crisps"... but maybe that's the non marketed feel they are going for. Either way, it fitted in well with the Tup's vibe.

Jonathan- you're right, these are obviously the Yorkie of crisps, not for girls!
Very funny!
