Best Potato Chip Flavor

[fatbob]

Why would you want potato chips that taste like a hedgehog?

Why not is the question? A gypsy delicacy apparently and some interesting litigation involved in the history.

I'm so disappointed to read this (emphasis mine):

They were withdrawn from sale in 1982 when the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) alleged a breach of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 as the product was flavoured with pork fat and herbs and contained no actual hedgehog.

No love for the kettle cooked sweet potatoes chps?
The best chip is still one that isn't tryed yet.

I’m disappointed in our Canadians…

The Old Dutch ripple chips go best with bacon and onion dip and a pint of good beer.
or Labatts Molson if your desperate.

What, no O'Keefe's?

I'm not a potato chip fan. I only eat it once in a blue moon and only if I need "something" to quiet my grumbling stomach and there's nothing else to eat. The problem? Almost all of them are far too salty. It's like chucking down a handful of salts instead of a handful of chips! Yuck! Borderline disgusting!

So why am I even opening this thread? Let alone posting on it? Never mind that I actually voted???

I recently had one, which I randomly picked up in a tiny corner store that has not much of anything, and it was so good I couldn't stop till I emptied the entire bag in one single sitting! I've been hunting for it all over the country!

What I had isn't on the list. But I picked the closest one: Sour Cream and Onion. What I had was Sour Cream and Dill. Close enough.

Sadly, although I've tried a few other Sour Cream and something, so far all of them are still far too salty. The one I had and totally addicted to, which I can't find in the US yet, is a Canadian brand. So if I can't get it in the US, I'll just have to make a trip to Canada. Only 3 hours away, it's not such a hardship after all.

Dorittos were the chip of choice at Mt Baker.
Usually went with the beer you'd stashed in the snow bank earlier as you headed back to Canada.

No Crunchy Frog?

Gone but not forgotten...

I've tried every other version of Carolina BBQ chip that I've come across and none of them are as good as the Lay's.

So I haven't perused the chip aisle in some time. I did today.....BACON!!

 

[dbostedo]

.....BACON!!

How are they?

 

[scott43]

Yeah my brother used to crush smoky bacon chips...

 

[ScotsSkier]

Where is the smoky bacon? Oh that’s right …..never seen it here in the US unfortunately

"Flavored" chips. As if the flavor of a food were its beginning, middle, and end. You can see this especially with the Iberico ones. You think it's just the flavor of that ham that makes it special? Grump out.

 

[teejaywhy]

The best potato chip flavor is potato flavor.

The best potato chip flavor is potato flavor.

Wait. I had a p,ost that said that. Where did it go?

No, no... it's the flavor of the ham that makes the potato chips special.
