My Forking Thoughts on Lay’s Seaweed Potato Chips from Taiwan – Worth a Fork if you like Seaweed and Potato Chips

I was ordering some hard to find pantry items from yummy bazaar and came across some small bags of unusual flavors of Lay’s Potato Chips. Here are the Seaweed Chips. It came in a one and a half ounce size bag. Here’s the back of the bag.

Here’s a closer look at the ingredients.

Not too many ingredients in these potato chips. Potato, vegetable oil, sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce powder, seaweed flakes, seafood seasoning and spices.

I open the bag and take a whiff.

Not much of an aroma….Just smells like potato chips.

Spill some out.

They are speckled and are extra thin and very delicate. They don’t feel very powdery like many of the flavored chips.

At first bite they have very little flavor but they grow with flavor. They taste just like seaweed…it’s like you are eating a thin sheet of nori that is firmer and crisper than usual. They are overly easy to eat because they are so thin and delicate. I think these are the thinnest chips that I have ever eaten.

You get far more flavor in your mouth when you let the chip dissolve in your mouth. You get some sweetness, the soy sauce flavor and other very subtle flavors in the background from the seaweed.

These chips are actually pretty good.

Worth a Fork if you like seaweed and potato chips.

Your opinion and experience may indeed differ.
