Potato Chip Flavors

I am in raptures!

 

About two or more years ago this flavour disappeared from all my local stores and I thought the company had stoppped making them, but they appeared in the supermarket this morning. My favourite potato crisps (I refuse to call them 'chips' - ridiculous name).

 

They are made by this Philippine company and sold all over Asia. These are the super-rare and exotic POTATO flavour!

I hadn't seen these before and was going to throw some in the cart when I noticed they were $3.69 per bag. And not exactly a huge bag either.  🙂

 

Still, I'd like to try them. They only had a few bags left on that shelf, does that mean they are really popular? 

 

Ingredients included "spices, sugar, onion powder, mango powder, garlic powder, tomato powder and paprika extract".

When we lived in India, this was one of the more common flavors available. Along with 'American Style' which was essentially Sour Cream & Onion as far as I could tell.

I am quite sure we must have discussed ketchup-flavoured potato chips at some point. These arrived in my grocery order today as complimentary.

They are initially ketchup flavored, but there is a weird aftertaste, and apparently there is no longer any attempt to persuade me that these actually came from a potato.  Or that they should be dipped into anything.

 Ballpen for scale. 
 

Having said that, like all junk food it’s hard to eat just one! I have no shame.

 I saw Lay's "Tomato & Chicken" flavoured chips yesterday. No amount of curiosity as to what on earth they could taste like, could convince me to buy them.

 

I bet it tastes like Mexican rice.   Knorr makes a Caldo de Tomate con Sabor de Pollo bouillon powder.   It's the "secret" ingredient to a lot of Mexican rice recipes.   It's called "con" for short, ie my style uses a tblsp of "con" in it.

 

It's a really good flavor enhancer.  You might like it.

You make a very good point. If the name or the packaging had skewed Mexican, my mind might have gone in a different direction than KFC with ketchup on it!

Lays do do a Mexican Tomato and Chicken chip, at least here in China. See top left.

Stopped by an Asian Supermarket near my office and quite a variety of flavored potato chips. For around $2 you can try some unique flavors!

Chicken isn't a particularly unusual flavor but this package of Bluebird brand chips featuring a cute little penguin embracing a cooked chicken drumstick is interesting.

Kind of a triple bird snack!  Bluebird is a New Zealand brand and this photo was sent to me by a friend visiting there.  They feature the penguin on most of their branded products but the chicken leg is most disturbing image to me!

I am I the only one to find this combination unappealing?

芥末章鱼味 (jiè mo zhāng yú wèi) means 'mustard (and) octopus flavour'. The first two characters are also used for fake 'wasabi'. I'm 99% sure these contain neither mustard or wasabi, but the related but much cheaper horseradish.

 

Real wasabi is rare and expensive. It is 山葵 (shān kuí) in Chinese; セイヨウワサビ (seiyō wasabi) in Japanese.

 

I think I'd rather eat my octopus with this. At least they admit it's fake in the smaller print, but I don't tend to treat my hair as if a type of sushi!
