Favorite flavor potato chips?


"Salt and vinegar" baby!!! πŸ§‚

1. Humpty Dumpty BBQ chips, when Humpty Dumpty was still a Maine company (up until about 2000). They were spicy hot, not sugary sweet like Lay's BBQ and every other brand I've tried. If I wanted sugary sweet I'd buy e.g., cookies, not potato chips.

2. In the 1980s, Snyder's of Hanover made bacon flavor potato chips. I only ever saw them in small (1 oz.) bags in a vending machine at the laundromat. They were awesome.

3. Humpty Dumpty "Sour Cream & Clam" flavor - https://www.taquitos.net/im/sn/Humpty-SCC.jpg - wicked good. That old bag says "Made in Maine" on it, so that's the real deal. I've never tried the Humpty-Dumpty-in-name-only post-2000 Canuck version.

4. Dill pickle flavor. They are very similar to salt & vinegar flavor, but better due to the added dill taste. I've had a few different brands; they are all good.

5. Salt & vinegar. All brands I've tried are good, but I especially like the Cape Cod "kettle cooked" ones in this case. Normally I prefer normal potato chips to "kettle cooked," which, by the way, is a stupid marketing term. All potato chips are cooked in a kettle, obviously. They are extra crunchy not because of the type vessel they are cooked in (which is irrelevant; the oil does the cooking, not the vessel), and not because they are thicker than normal potato chips (they aren't), but because they are flash baked after being deep fried.

I love barbecue Fritos. And then they discontinued them and put out some honey bbq "twists". I wanted the chip! But I found some at the market the other day. So they're back!
