I picked up these Lay’s Italian Red Meat Flavor Potato Chips at an Asian Market so I thought I’d give them a try. The bag is small and is less than 1 1/2 ounces.

Here’s what the back looks like.

Here are the ingredients. It reads like it might be free of meat.

It also reads Italian braise flavor?

Whatever-

I open it up and take a whiff.

This one smells.

It smells like a combination of fried pastries and burnt tomato sauce.

I’m afraid to try them now.

Oh no here they come.

They are powdery and greasy and have an orange complexion.

I go to taste one.

It’s not horrible…….but it’s not good………It sort of taste like it smells…..Sort of like burnt tomato sauce but sweetened…….

I’m not a fan of this flavor

I note that your opinion and experience may indeed differ…
