I love the M&S lentil curls! Very different from other low fat crisps on the market, and fairly high in protein too which i think is a bonus.
ReplyDeleteI love them too. They are quite spicy and take longer to eat because there are lots of them.
ReplyDeleteI love the M&S popcorn, and yes it would be very easy to eat way more than one bag! I need to try the White Chocolate and Strawberry Popcorn too.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely too but I think the Choc & pecan is my fave.
