HEB, South Texas’ stellar grocery chain comes up with fabulous flavors of everything. (One of the best is mango sherbet swirled with [chamoy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamoy_(sauce)) – _in-fucking-credible!_). But I have not been able to make myself try the apple pie flavored potato chips (crisps). > **[We tried H-E-B's Apple Pie potato chips.

Worcestershire sauce is used to flavour some British snacks. I think they taste incredibly good, but it does not seem to have caught on elsewhere. ---

Those are something that I would try as a novelty, or maybe a condiment, if you will. Does anyone remember the X-13 flavored Doritos? Those were cheeseburger pickle, with emphasis on pickle, and not as good as they sounded. They didn’t last very long. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > Does anyone remember the X-13 flavored Doritos? Those were cheeseburger pickle, with emphasis on pickle, and not as good as they sounded. They didn’t last very long. Yeah, I actually really liked those, but they would not be a once-in-awhile snack for me, as you can burn out on that flavor pretty quickly. But, yeah, I don’t remember them being around long. ---

I bought a bag of Kroger “Prime Rib and Horseradish” chips. Believe it or not, they were pretty damn good, but you could only eat about 5 at a time. Ended up going stale and The Crew enjoyed about half a bag over the course of a few days. But they were pretty damn good! You could really taste the subtle flavors. I couldn’t help but think of Willy Wonka every time I ate a few… ---

Those were cheeseburger pickle, with emphasis on pickle, and not as good as they sounded. They didn’t last very long. I thought they tasted OK. A little unusual, maybe, but a decent snack. Also a fair bit of mustard in the flavor, which is fine since I like mustard. The next “mystery flavor” they tried, though, turned out to be Mt Dew. So sour that they would have been inedible, except that they were even more overwhelmingly too-sweet-to-be-edible. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > My two favorites are prawn cocktail and pickled onion. The absolute pinnacle of crisp-making, for me, were Seabrooks crinkle-cut pickled onion flavour. They don’t make them anymore sadly but they had more taste than mortal man could handle. It was borderline medically inadvisable. ---

I also saw and did not try the tacos at midnight. I didn’t think twice about it. Now I’m curious. However, maybe you went to the cantina one evening and drank a few _cervezas_ while they played maudlin norteno music. Suddenly feeling hungry, you go to the taco stand outside the bar. A young dude is grilling onion, peppers, beef and tongue. The tacos del pastor are small, but you are hungry and they are only ten pesos each, with half a dozen salsas to choose from. It’s surprisingly quiet, just the faint sound of sentimental accordion, with a hint of snare drum and violin and _bajo sexto_. Half a dozen hungry dudes are either waiting in line or softly chewing. Are these tacos at midnight? _Maldito sea_! The big church clock says it’s already 2 am. There isn’t any blackened spice around. The place that served “Dorilocos” “walking tacos” closed hours ago. You don’t even want to try the “tacos at 4am…”. They taste of stale beer and mouldy masa with hints of tears, fatigue, _epazote_ and seafood. ---

I had the Marmite version (different brand—I think Walker’s) a Christmas or two ago from my brother and they were pretty decent. Also had Marmite peanut butter (meh) and Marmite cashews (very good.) And, yea, Rhode Island clam chowder is typically clear broth, neither tomato nor cream base, though I see a few recipes that do have tomato in the base (but I don’t see both.) ---
