Addictive Lomo Crisps bay Awfully Posh

At Spanish restaurants you will always find Jamon ham and melon as starters while for tapas and mains you will find these delicious crispy Parma ham crisps in soups or scrambled truffle egg to accentuate the taste like bacon bits.
I am totally addicted to these crispy Parma ham pieces that it would be an ideal snack.

Enter Lomo Crisps by Awfully Posh, Lomo meaning pork loin.
These are the snacks I have been looking for because they taste like crispy Parma ham yet they are much leaner, gluten free and rich in protein.
If you look at the slices, you can see it is almost 100% pure slice of pork loin that was air dried.'
These snacks are going to be popular with bacon lovers.

Who knows, these Lomo crisps could also be for Spanish restaurants and other chefs to take their dishes to the next level!

Currently you can get them online at: www.britishsnackco.com/store
As well as Lomo crisps by Awfully Posh, I spotted Pork Scratchings at Waitrose

Examples of how I was served crispy parma ham at the restaurants:

Bubble waffle with crispy parma ham at Lof10, cold melon soup with crispy parma ham and scrambled egg with crispy parma ham that's barely visible topped with truffle at Cobo House.
