Tapenade is one of my favourite hors d’œuvre. It’s a condiment made of finely chopped olives, capers, anchovies, olive oil and sometimes a dash of lemon juice. It’s extremely popular in France, especially in the south of France, where most people will offer it in a small bowl or on slices of baguettes during the apèro. French fry sauce chips (or crisp sauce if you’re British) KP, which also makes the likes of Hula Hoops, Space Raiders, and Roysters, said Brannigans was well established in the pub trade and in catering businesses.

They produce over 20 tonnes of potato chips annually with clever flavours tailored to the French market.

These flavours are often unique and not found outside their home country. They were created by Mr Brannigan, a shopkeeper of Irish heritage, who launched his popular crisps from his market stall.
