My FORKING Thoughts on Sprouts Lemon Tzatziki Potato Chips

I came across these Limited Edition Lemon Tzatziki Potato Chips at my local Sprouts Grocery. I thought they were among one of the strangest flavors for potato chips that I have seen. It took me a few weeks to muster the courage to try them.

I open the bag.

The bag isn’t very full.

I take a whiff.

It’s strange.

It’s kinda citrus-ee and also funky in a weird way.

I look at the ingredients.

Seems ok for processed food. Don’t understand yeast extract.

For me it’s very difficult to let one chip dissolve slowly in my mouth because it burns and is also bitter and also very unappetizing to me. I do get a sort of lemon finish that is mixed with a sort vomit taste.

I do note that I am slightly more sensitive than other people to citric acid and also vinegar.

These are FORKING GROSS to me. It’s like bitter sour burning vomit mixed with sour lemon.

I have no idea on why anyone would produce something so vile.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Sprouts Lemon Tzatziki Potato Chips.

I also doubt that ANYONE will like them.

My FORKING Thoughts on Kettle Avocado Oil Kimchi Potato Chips

I Thought Kettle Kimchi Potato Chips sound like an amazing flavor to try so I picked them up at my local Sprouts Grocery Store. I always look at the ingredients to decide if I want to give it a try.

By looking at the ingredients I can tell that it is a 50/50 chance of me liking them. Not always but MOST of the time I can’t tolerate citric acid and also have some trouble with dry vinegar….so?

I try them anyway.

First I open the bag and see lots of smaller chips.

I take a whiff.

Smells kinda funky with lots of mixed seasonings that can’t be identified.

I eat a small chip. It’s not sweet like a bbq can be but also is spicier with a burn in it to me.

Then I try to eat a chip more slowly…..

I get a different taste now…..MORE SOUR and MORE BITTER and sort of painful.

Back to just eating a chip normal.

Now I get a garlic taste that I didn’t get before but it is a sour garlic taste.

Multi-demential in taste but you need to be less sensitive than me to enjoy it.

Those were my FORKING thoughts on Spicy Kimchi Kettle Chips. Your Forking thoughts on these Kettle Chips may differ.

My FORKING Thoughts on Kettle Chili Crisp Potato Chips

I had to try this bag of Kettle Chili Crisp Potato Chips so I picked it up at my local grocery store.

I am familiar with all kinds of Chili Crisp. I made a few myself – Basically Chili Crisp was originally a Spicy Chinese Condiment that added flavors, heat, and textures to food. (the below chili crisps, and food recipes can be found here in the search.

Chili Crisp
Cabbage and Chilli Crisp Dumplings
Indian Inspired Chili Crisp
FORKING Delicious Corn Salad made with Italian Chili Crisp
Italian Chili Crisp

Anyways back to the chips.

I open the bag and take a whiff….It doesn’t really smell like anything I know……maybe a wet potato smell that is mixed with oil and seasonings?

The chips are also all small and very thin and covered with some powder.

The ingredients look OK so I let one dissolve in my mouth.

It’s spicy but doesn’t taste like chili crisp to me.

It tastes very different when you just eat them……….More like spicy BBQ chips. With a little sweetness to them.

Not bad or awful but also not exciting. Just OK.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Kettle Chili Crisp Potato Chips your Forking thoughts may indeed differ.

Korean Style Fried Chicken VS Thai Red Curry Lay’s Potato Chips – An EASY Winner

Fun NEW Limited Edition Lay’s Potato Chip Flavors recently came out and two of them I had to try.

One is – Korean Style Fried Chicken (Wavy)

The Other is – Thai Style Red Curry

One taste FORKING AMAZING and the other is over seasoned powdery and weird.

Sadly the loser is Korean Style Fried Chicken.

It taste like mostly too much paprika, dry garlic, dry onion, and a sort of burnt chicken taste, maybe with other flavors. It doesn’t really taste like food. It tastes like seasoning mix that you’d add to something but with a burnt chicken kind of taste.

The “WINNER” by a long shot is clearly the Thai Style Red Curry. GOSH AND YUM! this one is delicious! Even the actual chips taste better and taste like potato chips that were dipped into actual Thai Red Curry.

The “WINNER” by a long shot!

Lay’s Thai Style Red Curry

GET THEM before they run out!

The FORKING Weirdest Looking Potato Chip Ever!

I found the weirdest looking potato chip ever. I found it at Big Lots. The brand is called Long Chips. they are called Mashed Potato Snack. The flavor was honey BBQ.

They are super thin and you can almost see through them. to my surprise they taste ok……..Kinda good actually.

I wasn’t able to find any information on them on the web.

Don’t know if I will ever come across them again.

These Long Chips were the FORKING Weirdest Looking Potato Chips ever!

My FORKING Thoughts on Savoursmiths Truffle Rosemary Vegan Luxury English Potato Chips

I noticed these Savoursmiths Truffle Rosemary Potato Chips for around $6.99 a bag at my local Sprouts Grocery. They became discontinued and were marked down to a $1. a bag so I decided to give them a try.

The bag is marked Vegan and the ingredients don’t seem too far out so they seem safe to try.

I open the bag and take a whiff.

They smell strange…………Maybe a little like a herbal soap?

I pour some out.

The chips differ in size from small to large in size and do appear to have bubbly layers in the chips……

Texture-wise the chips are amazing. Crisp but not too crisp with layers also dry and not oily.

but-

The chips are coated very heavy with powders and are over seasoned. They even seem cheesy but cheese is not listed in the ingredients.

Between the cheesy taste, mushroom, onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, truffle it is all too much and is far too powdery to enjoy.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Savoursmiths Truffle and Rosemary Chips.

My FORKING Thoughts on San Carlo la Vita e Buona Pesto Flavored Potato Chips

I came across these San Carlo la Vita e Buona Pesto Flavored Potato Chips from a specialty on line food store called Yummy Bazaar when I was there buying something else. It says on the bag that this is Italy’s #1 potato chip and I like pesto so I wanted to give it a try.

The ingredients look safe.

I open it up and take a whiff……

It smells something like dried basil………..

I spill some out….

The chips are on the small side.

I eat a few.

They taste almost like pesto…………but a little different……I almost never say this but I think that these chips can use some salt.

The texture of the chips is very different from most chips that I have tried.

The chips are extra thin and have like a hard thin but delicate styrofoam texture that is very strange.

The flavor is a little off………… but because of the texture I might not try this brand again.

That was my FORKING Experience with San Carlo La Vita e Buona Pesto Flavored Potato Chips.

But your FORKING Experience may indeed differ.

My FORKING Thoughts on Calbe My Pote White Truffle Premium Potato Chips

I found Calbe My Pote White Truffle Premium Potato Chips at my local Seafood City (A California-based Filipino Supermarket Chain) They caught my eye and the ingredients don’t look too bad so I thought I’d give this small bag a try.

Oh WoW! They are made with French Grey sea salt. That salt is very expensive….Ummmm don’t really know what the truffle flavor really is…..Usually artificial is called truffle essence…..maybe they are being tricky here? I’ll try them anyway.

I open the bag up and take a whiff.

I don’t get truffle but I do get a really strong but good potato smell that I don’t usually get when I open a bag of chips…….Like a smell I get when I make mashed potatoes.

I try a chip…They look a little different and seem to have a little bit of skin on them. They are also small, extra thin, and seem free of oil.

Now I taste one……….They do have more potato flavor than what you usually get in a potato chip that are laced with a little bit of truffle taste and are extra lightly salted. But they also seem extra dry. They are different.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Calbee My Pote White Truffle Premium Potato Chips I do note that your FORKING Thoughts may indeed differ.

My Forking Thoughts on Kroger Reuben Potato Chips

I was food shopping at my local Fry’s supermarket and came across these Kroger Reuben Potato Chips…….I thought to myself I gotta try them. I glance real fast at the ingredients to make sure nothing really strange is in them.

They do have some chemicals in them……

Then I happen to notice that the chips are marked kosher and dairy.

I can be now be relieved that they aren’t made with castoreum (beaver butt juice actually from a gland by the butt) because beavers are not a kosher animal to eat. Castoreum is never listed as an ingredient because it is a flavoring. It is listed as natural flavor because that is what it is.

I get the bag home and take a whiff.

It truly DOES SMELL LIKE A REUBAN!

Incase you are not familiar with a reuben it is a sandwich made of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, Russian dressing on grilled rye bread or Russian pumpernickel.

The chips are slightly speckled, a little powdery, and are extra crisp.

I gobble a few down……

They are very tasty but at first they taste mostly like mild sauerkraut …….it maybe only slightly cheesy and laced slightly with a rye bread taste.

I eat one very slowly and it taste completely different.

When you eat them slowly you get the rye taste dominating the other flavors.

They are very tasty and extra crunchy.

Those were my Forking Thoughts on Kroger Reuben Potato Chips.
