I tried these and would recommend. 35g pack, product of Austria. Apologies for shaky photo.

Contains pork, salt, dextrose, spices, maltodextrin, sugar, tomato powder, sodium nitrite. However less than 0.5% carb, so mainly pork and there are only tiny amounts of additives.

Tastes of something as well. My local Lidl hid them with the crackers and spreads for some reason, and I'd never have seen them if I hadn't needed marmite.

Edit: Price £1.99 a pack

Oh, I'll need to do a search around my Dutch Lidl. They have all sorts of ridiculous high protein stuff suddenly this week (high protein mozzarella, erm, whut?), and who knows, they may have this as well!
 
I'd tried, and looked, some of their high protein offerings but found them highly processed.
These crisp look interesting

I think the "High Protein" is the new "Low Fat", or "Low Sugar" offering.

Everybody thinks protein is good, for now anyway. I suppose the manufacturers are still not ready to put "High Fat" on packaging as a selling point.

Protein has always featured in the "healthy diet"......... (for the normie, healthy population)

Sorry, I'm being bombarded at the minute by "news" stories quoting "research" that insists that some food or other is "healthy" or "unhealthy" depending on what they're trying to sell.

So I thought it's only a matter of time before somebody starts nonsense on the "protein is unhealthy" line. Or maybe they have already.
 
Looked for these crisps today but none in my local store.
Seems like they compare to M&S serrano ham crisps, but lidls are cheaper per 100g
 
I hate to say I told you so, but here it is. "Is protein really healthy etc". Published Friday.

No, you really donât need to be eating more protein

From pizza to Weetabix, it seems no food is safe from becoming a mere vessel for ’tein. Helen Coffey investigates how it went from gym bro fodder to panacea for the masses, and asks the experts whether it really is good for us, or just the latest dietary marketing ploy to grab our attention
www.independent.co.uk
 
The Independent must have been sponsored (secretely of course) for that article... (note well - weetabix is quote doing God's work, unquote - you can't make this up!). An article which says its moral is to pay no attention to food hype providing one of the worst pieces of food propaganda of all - that what amounts to soft biscuits passes as a healthy breakfast food. And that old 'a healthy balanced diet' hype - as carbs being a third of a healthy plate.

Gosh we live in interesting times.
