British Foods That Don't Make Sense to Anyone Outside the UK

Prawn Cocktail Crisps

You might recognize it as a shrimp cocktail, but in the UK, the prawn cocktail is a big deal. Brits not only enjoy this classic appetizer but have even turned it into a popular chip flavor. Walkers, the British version of Lays, has made prawn cocktail crisps a staple snack. While the idea of prawn cocktail-flavored chips might sound strange to many Americans, Brits can’t get enough of them

In fact, it’s the 5th most popular chip flavor in the UK! Surprisingly, these chips don’t contain any actual prawns, making them vegetarian-friendly—a major plus for snackers with dietary restrictions. Ever wonder how a seafood-inspired flavor became a chip sensation? It’s all about the tangy, slightly sweet seasoning that mimics the iconic cocktail sauce. So, if you’re feeling adventurous, why not give this British favorite a try? You might just discover your new go-to snack.
