I love ALL flavors and varieties of potato chips. Of course, that’s not saying much, as I genuinely like those sardine jellybeans that Bertie Botts came up with.
There’s a company named Zapp’s in Louisiana. They make crawdad-flavored chips, and they are superb.
They ship as well. And they might be found in other areas.
When my boyfriend and I were at Universal Studios in LA a couple of weeks ago, one of those survey people accosted us and wanted our opinion of a new chip that Lays is currently developing. The chips are Philly Cheesesteak flavored! I don’t know why I found it so humorous but I laughed during the entire encounter! Now that I’ve given it more thought, maybe this isn’t such a strange idea…
This thread, along with associated responses, brings to mind a former co-worker who was the most adventurous of the vending machine “test-drivers” - anything new, she was the first to try it.
Invariably, however, she would then say “EEwww, these are GROSS!! D’you want 'em?”
Now, why would I want something you just deemed as GROSS?!? She’d never make it in sales/marketing, that’s for sure.
Glad you asked about Hedgehog crisps, when they first came out they were flavoured like real hedgehogs. The company making them got together some travelling folk who traditionally would cook and eat hedgehogs and had them approve and adjust the flavour. I had some of the crisps in those days, they were not unlike strong bakon in flavour, a bit gamey for most tastes but nice.
Unfortunately there was an outcry against the idea, and so the crisps you get now are actually flavoured hedge-herbs and hog (pork) flavour, but are still called hedgehog crisps. The new flavour isn’t as nice as the original as far as I am conserned, as it now tastes too much of mixed herb.
This is all from watching “Nationwide” in the 80’s and reading bits in news papers, so I cannot say for sure the above is correct. But the taste did deffinately change after the first year of release, and they were originally meant to taste of actual hedgehog.
Cheers, Bippy
Exactly.
I like onion dip with sour cream & onion chips. Calm dip with sour cream & clam chips might be pretty good. Of course, I also like clam dip with dill chips.
