Squirrel-flavoured crisps launched

Crisps that taste of Cajun squirrel are to go on sale across the UK today.

The unique flavour was one of six ideas chosen from more than a million public suggestions, following the launch of Walkers 'Do Us A Flavour' campaign.

Cajun squirrel was created by 26-year-old Martyn Wright, who claimed that he was inspired to enter after seeing the delicacy on a restaurant menu.

"This gentle Cajun flavouring will be delicious for the public and although the idea might sound bizarre, it really works," he said.

Chilli and chocolate, crispy duck with hoisin sauce, fish and chips, builder's breakfast and onion bhaji make up the remaining choices.

The limited edition flavours will be sold across the UK until May, when only the biggest seller will continue being sold. The winner will receive £50,000 and 1% of all future sales.
