A good crisp, then, will bring the perfect balance of sweetness, sourness, saltiness, bitterness, savouriness (also known as umami), and the sixth taste: richness (also called kokumi).

How can it be that you can buy almost any kind of crisp flavour – from chilli to cappuccino – and yet the ingredients that go into them boil down to the same few chemicals and seasonings? Why, indeed, as Kevin asks, do all beef crisps taste roughly the same – and usually without having come from anywhere near a cow?
