Miss Vicky’s Jalapeño potato chips have caught my fancy for the nonce. Well fried, correctly salted and a nicely modulated zing of chile to boot. Quite the accompaniment for a sandwich any day. ---

I would have to say that I prefer either sour cream and onion, or salt and vinegar, depending on whether or not I plan on talking to anyone that is going to be within four feet of me any time soon. Gotta love that Salt & Vinegar Breath[sup]TM[/sup] ! On the other hand, I have never met a chip that I did not like, aside from the steak flavored ones I found in a convenience store in Indiana…\ ---

I must say that I have become quite fond of Snyder’s Kettle Style Jalepeno potato chips. I also like the Kettle Style Sweet Onion ones too. Those things are great. As for ruffles or any other ridged chips, I think I will pass. I don’t need chips that are “ribbed for my displeasure” ---

Absolute favorite ever were these things called something like Nalley’s Mt. St. Helens Barbeque. But I haven’t been able to find any for years… still… But as for ones that are still sold - Ruffles Barbeque. ---

Mmm … Ruffles Original with mounds of french onion dip _purrr_ Or Tostitos with Mrs. Renfro’s Habanero salsa. I’d say “Laredo & Lefty’s Hot Salsa” but the bastards went out of business, depriving the world of the best, best, best, best, most wonderful, orgasmic commercially-bottled salsa. ☹ How dare they! One of these days I’m driving down to Texas and kicking some Laredo & Lefty ass. They’ll cough up that recipe, or else they’ll get the dominatrix boots to the groin … oh yes … _glares_ ---

Tandoori flavour and Lemon, Lime and Chilli flavour are two of the best flavours I have ever tried. They don’t make either of them anymore though. ☹ Still, Pepper Steak flavour isn’t too bad. Oh, and my best mate’s Dad bears an uncanny resemblance to that dude on the Pringles tubes. “Shall I get some crisps?” “Pipe of Pringles will suffice …” ---

Utz makes a potatoe chip that has Old Bay seafood seasoning on them - I love 'em. For dipping - the chip needs to be substantial enough to withstand the rigors of dipping and hauling. I’ll go with Ruffles original. ---
