I would have assumed I have reviewed these before, but apparently not. Or maybe I have, and can’t find the review. But it’s time to look at Savoury Shapes – one of the quartet of original flavours alongside Pizza, Barbeque and Chicken Crimpy. (and looking for the links, I see I’ve never done Pizza either! Oh noes!)

The premise here is sort of odd. It’s a snack that has no flavour as such, no real distinguishing  feature except to say that it is not-sweet. The biscuits are a range of geometric shapes, and not really like the other Shapes – they are thinner, harder and more crunchy. They also do not really have much ‘flavour you can see’ on them. Maybe ‘savoury’ doesn’t really need much flavour.

But what do they taste like? I hear you cry. Well, erm, sort of, erm, savoury. Not lip-smackingly, umami-hitting, tenderise-the-inside-of-your-mouth savoury. More just sort of, erm, not sweet. You know, a bit salty, a bit seasoned. On a biscuit. They really are very unremarkable. Remarkably unremarkable in fact.

I actually don’t think they are that good. I’m going to give them a three out of ten. They are just very very boring.
