Lay’s has four Global Flavors of Potato Chips out. the one flavor I tried so far is the Kettle Cooked Indian Tikka Masala.

Well lets see how it goes………

On the bag it reads that this bag is packed with flavors including Turmeric, Cumin and Tomato. It also reads on the bag that there are no artificial flavors or preservatives and this flavor is vegetarian unlike some of the other flavors.

When I open the bag I take a whiff and it smells a little bit like food.

The chips are small, very hard and folded up a bit with spices that you can see. The surface is slightly powdery.

I start tasting chips……..

It has some zip to it meaning I get heat. The chips aren’t too spicy but they have a nice heat level.

As for flavor the chips don’t remind me of Tikka Masala.

The flavors are out of balance and some flavors of Tikka Masala aren’t there.

The chips have a lot of tang and salt to them.

ODDLY I don’t get any potato taste. The chips are thin, hard and very crisp and are just hard without potato taste. Tasteless potatoes.

For me the chips lack the fragrant flavors in Indian Food. I don’t get any ginger, nutmeg, turmeric or cardamon or the creamy tomato taste. All those flavors are missing.

I’m left with tang, a sour cream kind of taste, too much something that is very similar to sticking your tongue into straight chile powder-mixed with onions and burnt toast, salt, tasteless potatoes, and cumin, coriander and heat.

Your opinion may differ.

Sadly this one is not a keeper for me.

That was my Forking Thoughts on Lay’s Indian Tikka Masala Potato Chips.

The Forking Truth

Peeps have been the number one selling non chocolate candy for over 20 years and over five million Peeps are produced a day. Peeps are marshmallow candies that were originally shaped like chicks. At one time Peeps was just an Easter Candy and was made in yellow, pink and white colors. Some time latter the Peeps became all Holiday Candy and now they are anytime candy that happens to be featuring forking seasons like fall. The new fall flavors will be caramel apple, candy corn and FORKING PUMPKIN SPICE!

A few fun facts you might not know about Peeps.

Peeps have a two year forking shelf life.

In 2015 Peeps teamed up with Prairie Farms to produce Peeps flavored milk in marshmallow, chocolate marshmallow and Easter egg nog.

Someone in Sacramento in an eating contest called a “Peep Off” ate 102 forking Peeps in 30 minutes. ( bet  it didn’t hurt coming out)

Bethlehem PA where Peeps are produced drops a forking GIANT Peep for New Year’s Eve.

Peeps are not vegetarian. They are made with forking  Gelatin made from pork.

The reign of horror of more pumpkin spice forking continues with Peeps.

Fresh Truffle Risotto from DP Brasserie at the Venetian Las Vegas NV

I Forking LOVE truffles so I had to try out the New Lay’s West Coast Truffle Fries Potato Chips that is one of the four runners up in the 2015 Million dollar Lay’s do us a Flavor Contest.

I know that there is a whole of truffle aroma (perfume) out there and thought Lay’s could make a truffle laced potato chip since Lay’s makes Creamy Forest Mushroom Potato Chips that are very natural tasting. When you open the bag the West Coast Truffle Fries Flavored Chips gives off a forking weird odor sort of like a FORKING wet dog. (peeeeeeeeeee ewwwwww)

I tasted a few of these West Coast Truffle Fries chips and while they aren’t awful because they are slightly cheese with some herb note flavor…….. the chips do lack truffle and are not awful but disappointing because you want to taste truffle. Oddly unlike most potato chips these look nice with the nice thin waves with green flecks but these chips are also much oilier and are very fatty feeling in the hand and mouth. When I looked at the ingredients…I saw that these potato chips actually do contain duck fat, chicken fat and trace amounts of black truffle. The cheese flavor and herb flavors in these chips overwhelms any truffle that might be in them.

I also picked up a forking bag of Lay’s New York Reuben Potato Chips because Reuben sandwiches taste good. I was hoping these chips would forking surprise me and be delicious!

When I opened to bag to smell them they sort of smelled like rye bread.

I gave my husband some to try and he said, (but not in these words) “What are these?….Forking Barbecued Flavored.” (LOL)

I can taste something that resembles burnt rye bread in the New York Reuben Potato Chips. The rest is a mix of salt, sweet and some flavors that can’t be defined but taste like they are mixed with margarine and squirt cheese from a can. These chips make my mouth feel greasy. Well I guess some forking reubens might taste like that. These chips also leave a very unappetizing aroma on my hands that smells like forking foot odor. These chips leave your forking hands and maybe breath smelling like forking stinky feet.

Not Worth a FORK!

Good luck trying the Lay’s Chicken and Biscuit Flavor and the Lay’s Gyro Flavored Potato Chips!

I can’t forking do it! (LMAO) I’ve been threw enough!

To me Lay’s laid a Forking egg with the West Coast Truffle Fries and the New York Reuben Potato Chips.

The Forking Truth

These Torres Black Truffle potato chips caught my eye and put a dent in my wallet from my local AJ’s Supermarket. This is only a 4 oz. bag of potato chips but it does cost around a forking $7.99 a bag so that’s about $2. a forking  ounce. I wasn’t going to purchase them until I read that they are made of only five ingredients and the forth ingredient is actually real black truffle.

I did notice the fifth ingredient was forking truffle aroma. That means a chemical like forking perfume is added to the chips.

When I opened the bag I sort of hoped to get a big wiff of forking truffle and didn’t get that so I thought cool these are going to be alright. I took out a few chips.

The chips had a nice light texture with natural potato sliced shapes without traces of oil to the touch.

When I examined the chips closer I noticed that some had little black truffle specs.

I finally tried the chips and ate them real slow.

At first they taste very good and natural. I was giddy.

But it took me about three chips to realize the real truffle taste was missing.

I didn’t get that ……It’s so good I need to suck to inside of my mouth looking for another morsel kind of taste good that I always get with real truffles……

So I ate them for about a week just three chips at a time because they were best that way.

The Forking Truth!
