Pinderine, back again…
Technically, it won’t be the first time some All Dressed chips have come stateside. FritoLay debuted Ruffles All Dressed chips back in 2015, then later discontinued them in 2021.
I had the Ruffles All Dressed chips when they were available here in the late '10s. I did really like them and I’m glad the flavor’s coming back. Although part of me is worried they’re going to treat them like the McRib and just bring them back for a limited time every once in a while.
All Dressed are available, and quite popular, in Canada.
Yeah. And I wouldn’t consider them weird at all.
There were, for about 10 minutes, once a Lay’s special flavor cafe latte flavor potato chip. Like if you spilled a cup of coffee over your bowl of chips and in a thrifty move, dried them out on a pan in the oven.
Ketchup-flavored potato chips are a popular snack in Canada, usually seasoned with another Canadian condiment, ketchup salt.
I’ve tried them, and because I don’t like ketchup, nope, not a fan of those either.
I’ve seen bacon salt, not for a while, but… where in Canada have you seen this?
All Dressed Canadian chips taste like ketchup was drowning it’s sorrows in Worcester sauce with a side of onion and garlic. It’s not horrible, but I don’t get the love. I suspect it was used on Letterkenny so much as some kind of inside Canadian identity joke.
I have eaten many snack bags in Asia ominously flavored ‘seafood’ and every single one has tasted different. They all were salty, but vastly ranged in smell and flavor.
I’m not Canadian, but I do have a friend who is, and she had some at a meetup.
On a related note, I recently saw a little package of Harissa-flavored cream cheese, short-dated and marked down to 99 cents, and since I’d never tasted Harissa, purchased it. It was basically a homeopathic level of spice, although it was good cream cheese.
Mix harissa with mayonnaise and try it with fries. Pretty good. Any middle eastern grocer will sell small tubes of paste or cans fir a couple bucks.
Bumping again because my boss handed me a bag of Vlasic Pickle Balls. They are green, round, made of corn, and taste of strong dill pickle. I’d rather have the pickle, to be honest, but these are tasty.
