A snackfood of the
cheesypoof variety, manufactured in
Australia by the Smiths Snackfood company. Like
Tim Tams,
violet crumbles and
vegemite, they are oddly delicious and appear to be a wholly
Australian concept.
Touted as being burger flavoured, the crunchy orange rings have a distinctive aroma of onion with a hint of vegemite (which, by the way, is IMPOSSIBLE to remove from your hands) and a salty, piquant, MSG-laden taste, which is completely unlike any burger I have ever tasted, but addictive all the same.
