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.

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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
I found this bag of Deep River Snacks Chinese Mustard Kettle Potato Chips at Marshall’s. I thought this flavor seemed different and fun so I gave them a try. The bag is different.
The top of the bag reads, “Because we give a chip.” What it means is that they donate from their sales to a charity to feed children.
Then I look at the ingredients.
Seems safe to eat.
I open the bag and it smells like mustard.
Spill some chips out.
These are very small chips. They look fingerling sized??? They are extra crisp, very thin and slightly powdered.
I eat a few.
They really taste like Chinese mustard with that slight horseradish flavor.
Now I go to eat one real slow…………can’t………..the flavors are too strong that way….These you just have to eat.
I have to say these Select Edition Chinese Mustard Kettle Potato Chips from Deep River Snacks are Worth a Fork!
Worth A Fork!
If you are a fan of Chinese Mustard and Crispy Potato chips you might want to give this bag of potato chips a try.
