I tried these recently:

You know, the flavour wasn't bad. I wish it was a bit more complex, and a bit spicier, but it had some kick.....and was vaguely interesting.

Unfortunately, poppadoms have never been my thing as I really associate the texture with Styrofoam. Its a bit less pronounced with the mini ones...........but the texture is still off-putting to me. .

I didn't really like those, and I'm generally a papadum fan. I detected a tad too much of a hint of sour cream, which I despise.

If you like Valentina type hot sauce (which I do), these are delicious.

What's valentina hot sauce?

 

[evandyk]

It's a Mexican hot sauce that's similar in flavour profile to Tobasco, but a bit thicker, with less vinegar and more chile flavour.

Sounds good, because I hate vinegar!

Weirdo! LOL

I'm mean not liking sour cream makes perfect sense. But vinegar is awesome.

I'm a pretty decent cook, and have picked up a lot of tricks over the years. But the single thing you can do to make the food you prepare better is most likely adding more acid. It's the key to unlock everything else! Salt is too, but people tend to undersalt less often than they undersour.

@Towered no being sad, LOL

You're weirdness.....uh eccentricity is your charm. (But you're still wrong about vinegar)

Some chip reviews. The pastis flavoured Brets are really good. I put them out to snack on before serving bbq'd sausages and pasta salad. Really nice with a cold beverage on the deck. These ones I got at McEwans in the TD centre. They have a whole range of Bret's flavours, and all of them are good (but $6 a bag). Schefflers in SLB also carries some Bret flavours, but I've never seen this particular one there.

Lays has two new chip flavours out: sweet Korean chili, and spicy garlic. The chili ones are extra crunchy. I didn't really love the flavour (too sweet), and the crunch was too much. So I put a bunch of them on a sloppy joe sandwich for lunch on the weekend, and it was divine. The spicy garlic ones I had last night, and they're totally fine, but nothing to really write home about. Both are available in small bags if you just want a little taste.

These both suck. Tried a few chips of each and then threw them in the trash. I find that Pringles rarely impress with their flavours. Maybe it’s something about how they’re made.

 

[Towered]

These were ok, but not spicy enough for something advertising habanero flavour.

Saw these unusual flavours on the shelf and was momentarily intrigued before I remembered that Pringles usually suck.
