Lay’s Flamin’ Hot Dill Pickle Potato Chips have been out for a while now but I finally got up the nerve to try them. About a year ago I tried several different flavors of Lay’s potato chips that just didn’t do it for me so I gave up trying new flavors until recently.
These Lay’s Flamin’ Hot Dill Pickle Potato Chips smell just like a jar of dill pickle!
I got to look at the ingredients.
They have a few ingredients that are unexpected like whey and sour cream…..???? Why whey and sour cream? They don’t go into spicy dill pickles!
Here are the chips up close.
The chips are smaller in size and are a little powdery.
I taste one. It’s almost too hot and *****IS*****too vinegary for me.
My husband loves them and is woofing them down.
The chips for me are painful to eat slow.
If I eat them faster they don’t hurt my mouth and they really do taste like spicy dill pickles.
Pretty good and worth a try! …Just don’t eat them slow.
I’ve subscribed to a subscription of Universal Yums at www.UniversialYums.com .They send you a box of International snacks. You can subscribe or gift in a number of ways. You also have to choose from three different sizes of snack boxes. The basic Yum Box is 6 snacks, a 12 page booklet with trivia, games and a recipe and runs around $15. a month. Next is the Yum Yum Box it is all that and they say more……and comes with 12 snacks and runs around $25. a month. The largest box is called The Super Yum Box. It is similar to the Yum Yum Box but comes with 20 snacks and runs around $40. a month.
I signed up for just the basic Yum Box (around $15.) that comes with 6 international snacks plus extra. My first box came with all kinds of treats from Columbia. I forgot to take a picture of just opening the box. This is my box after a few days of snacking.
It comes with a booklet with some facts about Columbia.
It also came with a recipe for arepas.
Some fun trivia.
Here are all the snacks.
Mayonnaise flavored potato chips, coconut wafer bar, lemon bacon chips, white chocolate cookie nuggets, a nougat chocolate bar and some sort of confection that is a mash-up of marshmallow and gummy in the shape of penguins.
They also included a surprise bag of a couple other things.
Coffee taffy and a passionfruit bubblegum pop. The coffee taffy tasted just like coffee. Had the texture of taffy but got softer. The passionfruit pop tasted like passionfruit but mixed with talcum powder. I didn’t take it to the bubblegum center.
We tried something that looked sort of familiar…..
Cookies and Cream White Chocolate Nuggets.
They taste like smashed up Oreos with extra frosting that is waxy. If you like Oreo cookies then you will like them.
Then we opened up this one.
It’s a chocolate bar filled with marshmallowy choco-nougat. Outer coating was a little waxy but did have a cocoa taste to it. Marshmallowy nougat isn’t my jam so we go to the next one.
Lemon Bacon chips (oy vey)
They don’t actually have bacon in them.
Pelllet (cooked) style fake bacon
They don’t taste like bacon but they are so artificially sour that they are painful to eat.
This next one looks cute.
They smell like Juicy Fruit Gum.
They are penguin shaped and are like a cross between a marshmallow and a gummy. I guess they are a fluffy gummy penguin.
These aren’t bad. They taste like coconut wafers. These are ok.
Artificially flavored mayonnaise potato chips……(why?)…They smell like normal potato chips……they are powdery and have an odd sour finish…….Or maybe it’s a chemical finish?
There is a YUM scorecard to fill out.
While I didn’t particularly enjoy any of the snacks from Columbia I still enjoyed the adventure. That was my first box of Universal Yums.
I wonder WTFork Universal Yums will send me next time?

Second bar is the Mensch Bar. …..You’re as sweet as chocolate….This is a bar you hand out to someone more like Batman. Someone who is a person of integrity and honer.
Then there’s Rock’N Chocolate bar with popping candy….
They offer many gummy candies
A gummy breakfast with bacon, an egg and detailed buttered pancake. There are gummy donuts, gummy cupcakes, gummy burgers and even a gummy pickle.
What do you call a bear with no teeth?
A GUMMY BEAR! They got gummy bears in diabetic size and diabetic coma size.
They also milk chocolate cover the gummy bears and call them dingle bearies……..
The high fiber cereal Colon Blow and to the right are little yellow jars of Urine for a treat
Then they also offer Welcome to Sour then Sweet LAS VEGAS Nevada.
Those were some of the WEIRD Food, candy and snack I saw in Las Vegas at IT’Sugar.
Part of El Panzon Y Frida Restaurant Menu located in Old Town Scottsdale AZ
When I hear about a new restaurant or a restaurant that is new to me the first thing I do is look at the menu to see if the menu appeals to me. I found out about this new restaurant that recently opened in Old Town Scottsdale AZ called El Panzon Y Frida. I saw Fish Cakes on the menu and thought I haven’t had a Fish Cake in ten years since I left the east coast. I could sure go for a fish cake………. but not the one on El Panzon Y Frida’s Menu……… as it’s Buffalo Worm Crusted……… I do admit I have some food hang ups and don’t partake in eating worms or bugs. I am aware that in many countries it’s a part of normal life to include insects in one’s diet but I have to be honest and admit it’s not something I’ll ever relish.
Usually if you find a bug or a worm in your food the restaurant takes it the Fork off your bill and apologies. On this menu you pay for worms in your food…who knew?

I also looked at a Fish and Chip Restaurant called Mandy’s Fish in Chips with three locations in Phoenix AZ. I saw……

Bean Pie….. I never heard of Bean Pie. WTFork is Bean Pie?
I read on Wikipedia that Bean Pie was created in the 1930s and is of African American Muslim Cuisine. The Pie is made of mashed beans that are usually navy beans but can also be great northern or pinto beans in a custard based pie similar to pumpkin pie.

Bugs in food that you pay for and Bean Pie…..Who The Fork Knew?
