Adele’s Favorite 2-Ingredient Snack Is Unexpectedly Delicious

Hello, it’s me, the writer who loves trying celebrity-favorite few-ingredient snacks. While most of the snacks I’ve tried in the past are, dare I say, pretty normal (like Hoda Kotb’s melted cheese and crackers), Adele is coming in with a strange food combo that might even rival Channing Tatum’s peanut butter, jelly, and Cheeto sandwich.

Adele’s favorite snack? Chips—or as she calls them, crisps. Sure, that sounds basic until you find out what kind of chips.

“My favorite crisp is Prawn Cocktail Walkers or just Ready Salted Walkers with loads of Worcester sauce on it,” the singer said on Instagram Live.

For those who don’t know, Walkers is a potato chip brand in England that’s pretty similar to Lay’s in the U.S.—because both brands are owned by PepsiCo. Walkers Prawn Cocktail Crisps are just like what they sound, a savory seafood-flavored chip, but they’re actually quite popular in the UK and not the snack we’re focusing on. We’re more intrigued by the Ready Salted Walkers topped with Worcester sauce—or, as you’d have in the U.S., Original Lay’s with Worcestershire sauce.

“You’re tipping Worcester sauce into the bag,” interviewer Greg James asks the Grammy winner on “BBC Radio 1.”

“Oh yeah, then you hold it tight, and you shake it, shake it, shake it. It’s a dream,” she responds. “Those soggy ones at the bottom are the best.”

Apparently, adding Worcestershire sauce to chips is quite a normal occurrence across the pond, considering that Walkers once sold a Worcester Sauce-flavored crisp that fans loved so much they’ve started a petition to get them back. And, clearly, Adele likes savory snacks, given her top two picks.

Though, normally, in my house, Worcestershire sauce is reserved for recipes like meatloaf and BBQ sauce—I made an exception for Adele.

I Tried Adele's Two-Ingredient Snack

I added a few dashes (about 2 tablespoons) of Worcestershire sauce to a small to-go-sized bag of original potato chips and shook them around until they were all coated. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about the flavor since Worcestershire sauce is pretty distinct and savory, and I’ve never exactly eaten it on its own before.

But I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this chip and condiment combo. It reminded me of an extra-savory salt and vinegar chip or a french fry dipped in malt vinegar.
While the flavor tasted very normal to me, what I didn’t love was the texture. Even though Adele said the soggier, the better, I found myself woofing the chips down to make sure I ate them while they were still crispy. Sticking my hand in the bag of wet chips was already giving me the ick—I probably should have dumped them on a plate—so there was no way I could've eaten the chips once the Worcestershire sauce seeped all the way into them.

That also meant that I didn’t drink the bag juices at the end, as Adele recommended. That just felt like taking it a bit too far, so I’ll reserve that part for Adele and still give the combo a thumbs up for tastiness.
