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…
It’s kind of fun to try different flavors of potato chips. A few are really great. Some are beyond terrible and most fall in-between. I really enjoyed the regular Lay’s Seaweed Chips from Taiwan so I thought the Spicy Roasted Seaweed Chips could be another winner.
The bag is small and only weighs around one and a half ounces.
Here’s the back of the bag.
Here are the ingredients.
There are many ingredients and these chips also are made with milk and fish.
I open the bag and take a whiff.
These chips smell strange. Kind of like something fried like pastry and tea…..
Now I am afraid to taste them……
I go and do the duty not expecting much.
PHEW!
They don’t taste as bad as they smell.
I eat a chip the way I’d normally eat a chip.
They are small chips with a powdery surface. They have a pleasant crunch to them. A slight sweetness, but more salty than sweet and more than anything they have a medium heat to them that builds a little. You do taste seaweed but it isn’t the dominate flavors.
I try to eat a chip very slow to taste it differently.
YUK…..can taste the fish this way and something that taste like burnt tea….
WOW they aren’t horrible if you just eat them but they aren’t great either.
They aren’t even as close to as good as the regular Lay’s Seaweed flavor is.
Not the best….but not the worst either
Don’t eat slow. You need to munch them down to skip over some of the flavors.
I thought this flavor (Kettle Cooked New York Pizza) Potato Chips sounds tasty. After all I really like pizza. I really love east coast style pizza. Most east coast pizza is made with a rich tomato sauce and a really delicious cheese blend. Usually it’s made with a sprinkle of seasonings that many pizza places around Phoenix don’t use. New York style taste different because of the water and usually is made thin with lots of oil. It says on bag that these chips are suppose to be in the style of Grimaldi’s pizza. I haven’t had a Grimaldi’s pizza in years so I can’t tell if it is like Grimaldi’s. Anyway so here we go. I bought a small 2 1/2 ounce bag.
I open it up and take a whiff.
To me it smells just like mozzarella sticks.
I open the bag and read the back.
It seems safe to eat.
I spill some out.
The chips are smaller sized and very crisp. They have a very powdery finish.
I taste one. It’s not bad but it doesn’t taste like pizza to me.
I think it’s too oregano heavy to taste like pizza.
This doesn’t usually happen but I am actually tasting the potato here. Usually these chips lack potato flavor but the potato shines threw.
I guess it taste like a crispy Italian potato croquette.
Could pass for a mozzarella stick though.
It’s not bad but it doesn’t taste like pizza to me.
My bag of chips seems to lack the rich tomato flavor.
Maybe your bag might come with more tomato flavor?
Worth a try!

Since the pandemic I’ve been researching food more on the internet. I’ve found many imaginary food products that seem amusing. I think a few I found might actually be for real but the majority and part of someones imagination. I found many odd flavors for Oreo Cookies. Up above are McDonalds Cheeseburger Cookies. Can’t you mustard that?
Next are Spam Oreos made with 100% Spam that you might want to pig out on.
They even have the U kosher mark on the package (lol)
How about-
Limited Edition College Flavor Oreos made with pot and ramen.
Or maybe Limited Edition Zombie Brains is more your thing?
They are artificially flavored with Blood Orange.
Lets move on to something different but also weird.
Tastes Like Grandma – Homemade Black Raspberry Jam……Sounds like someone was licking up grandma……
Then there is Fuke brand ??? Not sure what this is suppose to be? Is it meat shredded by a child? Is it meat for children? Or is it bottled meat from children?
The next one is “R” rated.
Grace Brand Cock flavored soup….It looks real? …Maybe it’s male chicken soup?……Don’t know if it is?
I heard of monkey bread…but this is not that.
Roasted Monkey Nuts……Product of China…. (eat before December 23 2010….LOL…OLD NUTS)
Next is 100% “HAND” Reared Pork.
Pinky’s Sausages….Can you handle this?
How about some Limited Edition Pop-Tarts?
But just the crust?…….
Maybe potato chips are more your thing?
Lay’s Sour Milk Potato Chips…That might taste something like sour cream, yogurt or buttermilk?
Maybe some Fagottini?
???
Found another Oreo Cookie!
Nabisco GOreo made with blood cookies that are artificially flavored.
Well that is some of the Forking Funny (mostly) IMAGINARY Foods Out There on the Internet.
I thought it would be fun to try some foreign Lay’s Potato Chips that I can’t buy here in America. Thailand seemed to offer the most flavors at reasonable pricing so I tried a few bags. I liked that these are extra small snack bags. They only contained HALF OUNCE of potatoes chips in each bag.
The first one I’m trying is the Salted Egg Flavor.
I open the bag and take a whiff…..It smells sort of like an egg yolk.
I taste a chip.
It has a nice texture. It kind of taste like it was rubbed with an egg yolk…..It’s not bad…but it’s not a chip that I crave….But not bad…so that’s a win! (Ok-Good)
The back of the bags do have the ingredients in English but they are very hard to read.
Now I’ll try the Extreme Hot Chili Flavor.
I open up the bag and spill some out. These smell kind of good….sort of cayenne pepper. I eat one. YES very hot but it doesn’t hurt or sting. Yipes they do build with heat…..still good…not bad…another win. (OK-Good)
I was saving the Sweet Basil for last because I thought it would be my favorite since I love sweet basil.
I open the bag and take a whiff………I was expecting basil but this isn’t basil…….These smell strange. They smell like burnt cake. YUK! THESE ARE REALLY AWFUL! They don’t even taste like food. Sorry I can’t eat them. (The BIG SUCK!)
Just like American Lay’s the flavors go all over the place – from surprisingly good, good, ok, not so great and the big suck!.
Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Thailand Lay’s – Salted Egg, Extreme Hot Chili Flavor and Sweet Basil.

I was looking for some unusual chips to try and I found these Thai Taste Lay’s Green Curry flavored Potato Chips from Thailand. It’s a medium size bag that weighs less than 3 oz.
Here’s the back.
Here’s the ingredients.
One of the ingredients is packing gas? ….OMG did someone fart into the bag?
Another ingredient is natural identical flavor…LOL WTFork is that?
Anyway I open up the bag and take a whiff.
It smells delicious like green curry.
I pour some chips out.
They are very small ridged chips that feel powdery.
Gosh they actually taste better than green curry from some restaurants.
These chips are full of lots of flavors and some heat.
I taste coconut milk and lemongrass the most.
Next I taste chillies, garlic, shallots, lime and fish sauce a little bit of sweet and something sort of gingery and salt.
Not sure what else is in here but these chips have a very good flavor.
If you are a fan of Thai Green Curry then you should be a fan of Lay’s Thai Taste Green Curry Potato Chips.
When a new M&M comes out I just feel like I have to try it even if it rolls out during the pandemic. Armed with onion googles and a mask I risk death by entering an empty CVS store to purchase the last two bags of Fudge Brownie M&M’s. They were on sale for two bags for $5.00 and apparently they were sold out fast.
I get home open up the bag and take a whiff…Ummm it smells just like a bag of brownies.
I pour some out and I see that they are large for M&M’s and they are very irregular and sort of lumpy in shape. They come in the usual M&M colors yellow, orange, red, brown and blue.
I eat one.
It’s really different……It’s chewy….like a caramel-ee chewy brownie. It really does taste like a brownie….It’s the usual candy shell with the usual chocolate inside and the center is like a lump of chewy brownie….but it feels like it’s mixed with a non sticking caramel.
I eat a few more because they are pretty good tasting.
But the shells are melting in my hand.
HEY WTFork! That is not suppose to happen!
Maybe I got a defective bag?
Well they taste good. Gotta be happy with that.
Worth a try!
Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Fudge Brownie M&M’s.
I haven’t seen new Lay’s Potato Chip flavors in a while and today I noticed three new flavors. One was taco, another was cheddar jalapeño and I also noticed Wavy Fried Green Tomato. The Wavy Fried Green Tomato sounded the most interesting so I picked it up. As soon as I got home with the bag my husband bust it open and started munching them down. He said they weren’t bad. I go and take a sniff.
To me they oddly smell like potato salad.
I eat one.
It has a true tomato taste……It taste like a slice of tomato that is topped with mayonnaise.
I eat a few more..they still seem good to me but I don’t know WTFork I like this? I’d never sit around eating tomatoes with mayonnaise on them. Maybe it’s because they are crunchy and salty and seem pretty true tasting?
Then I try to eat one chip more slowly.
It’s not as good this way because this way I get a mouth of powder and the chip seems greasier this way.
I take a look at the ingredients.
Ingredients don’t seem too unnatural.
These aren’t bad.
For a flavored Lay’s Potato Chip the Wavy Fried Green Tomato Chips are pretty good!
I guess…
Worth a Fork!
Worth a Fork!

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.
I came across these Chinese Made Lay’s Potato Chips at one of the Asian Markets so I picked them up to try. The ingredients look safe to eat and I don’t think that there is any actual chicken in the chips.
I was surprised to see Sichuan Pepper as one of the ingredients.
Here is what the back of the bag looks like.
I open up the bag and take a sniff.
This bag isn’t too full.
It smells odd………something like instant soup.
I pour out some chips to try.
They have a powdery exterior and big deep ridges.
I taste one.
It does have a sort of roasted chicken kind of flavor but it is too sweet. It’s more sweet and salty. The chips in the picture are not spicy……But….If I taste a crumb from the bottom of the bag it taste different has more flavor and is spicy. The bottom of bag crumbs are more spicy and soupy tasting and the chips towards the top are milder with a more roasted chicken flavor. These are one of the few chips that make my hand smell. My hands smell like instant soup.
1/2 a Fork…Worth a try! You might like or love them…You might also think they suck!
The Chinese Lay’s Hot Pot Flavor and the cucumber flavors were much more interesting and maybe better than this roasted chicken wing flavor to me. I recommend trying those flavors before the roasted chicken wing flavor. It certainly isn’t bad…..but I wouldn’t try this one again.
