How Do You Like Your Chips?
I was a bad boy yesterday -- I had "roasted garlic & sea salt" potato chips for lunch. I'm amazed by how many different chips there are: ... Potato ... Corn ... Sweet Potato ... Veggie ... "French Fries" ... and so forth. And there are tons of dips, salsas, dressings, etc. to eat with them. So, what are your favorite chips (brand names okay), and how do you like them? Jun 15 13 02:12 pm Link miss vickie's sea salt and vinegar Jun 15 13 02:17 pm Link If alone: http://www.kettlebrand.com/ Black Pepper & Salt or Japaneno If with hummus: http://www.stacyssnacks.com/ Simply Naked. Bagel Chips are fun too. Jun 15 13 02:17 pm Link Doritos nach cheese. Hands. fucking. Down.  Perfect amount of "crunch" to go with a peanut butter sandwich or a pickle and cheese sub. I have a thing for contrasting textures, and get very bored with a meal if it's only got one-- ie, yogurt, etc. I am amenable to Cheetos (original flavor) and Fritos in a pinch, but only ever as a stand alone snack, I can't imagine pairing them with other food XD When I was a kid I loved Pringles sour cream & onion flavor, but now I can't abide the gross aftertaste. Jun 15 13 02:36 pm Link Cascade Pride - regular thin potato chips. Taste like fried thin-sliced potatoes with a little salt. They are always fresh and tasty. They have no need for anything else for flavoring. Jun 15 13 02:38 pm Link Rufflles French Onion Dip Besides black corn chips & guac, what else is there? They're the holy grail. Jun 15 13 02:47 pm Link Sour cream and onion. Barbeque. I permit myself to eat potato chips maybe twice a year. When I did eat chips more frequently, I used to get Tim's. Thick-cut, fried in peanut oil and seasoned with sea salt. Jun 15 13 02:52 pm Link ZOMG! My favorites...ever!   Oh, and cracklin's. Real cracklin's, not the nasty blown up pork rinds.

Jun 15 13 04:53 pm Link i like a lot potato chips! a lot of flavors to really name. i also like chips and salsa.

Jun 16 13 03:47 am Link high denominations in numerous very tall stacks. if not that, http://www.zapps.com/box-order-flash.php?pid=93 hotter n hot and voodoo heat Jun 16 13 04:08 am Link I love-love-love garlic and Parmesan pita chips. I hate rice chips. Don't try them. x_X Jun 16 13 04:20 am Link Lohkee wrote: I was waiting for that one. Jun 16 13 04:47 am Link Americans and their chips. Crisps darling, they're called crisps Haha =] Jun 16 13 04:49 am Link Adam J Caldwell wrote: How about "Chrisps"? Jun 16 13 05:32 am Link JadeDRed wrote: Chuckles. I got so tired of "authentic" English F & C in America that I actually went out and bought a deep fryer so I could have **real** F & C from back home. Nothing quite like a nice fillet of cod done up in a simple batter (smothered in salt and vinegar along with the chips).

Jun 16 13 07:59 am Link SunChips. Jun 16 13 09:59 am Link I knew someone from the other side of the Atlantic would point out the difference between "chips" and "crisps." Didn't even have to open the thread. Jun 16 13 10:22 am Link My favorite are plain tortilla chips with guacamole, and a selection of salsas. Jun 16 13 10:23 am Link Salt and vineger, with extra vinegar. Actually, forget the chips. I'll just have the vinegar...mmm. Jun 16 13 10:48 am Link In thinking about it, I like good ol' plain potato chips. I want to taste potato & not grease. I've tried baked potato chips, but they taste artificial to me -- they certainly don't taste like potatoes. Sometimes I try Cheddar & Sour Cream flavored potato chips, or Onion & Sour Cream flavored, but for the most part, I'm happy with the plain stuff. I don't much care for dips. Or perhaps I care for dips too much -- onion dip can be addicting. I do like corn chips, and I do like blue corn chips (and yes, they taste slightly different to me). Sometimes, I put shredded cheese & garlic & scallions on a pile of corn chips & nuke them until the cheese melts. I love french fries, but they are not often on my diet. I'm getting good at making oven fries, but if I'm going to do that, I tend to make stuffed baked potato (which is going to be dinner tonight). I bake a large russet, split it open, scoop out the flesh, mix with the shredded cheese, sauted asparagus & shallots, add diced ham & shredded cheese & a little butter and plenty of salt & pepper, put a little more cheese on top, & broil until the cheese is bubbly. Very filling. Jun 16 13 12:26 pm Link Vintagevista wrote: Stupid thread - had to go buy some. Jun 16 13 03:49 pm Link Looknsee Photography wrote: Sweet potato fries are the shit. With chipolte mayo... yum. Jun 17 13 10:10 am Link I try and avoid chips because they are one of my downfalls. That and cookies like Oreos and Chocolate Chip. Since I was a kid I loved Onion and Garlic. Then I discovered sour cream, Salt and vinegar, barbecue, pork rinds, Cheetos and the list goes on. I even love those veggie chips. The problem is, although I have self control, it's so darned difficult to resist. I've been know to eat a whole giant bag by myself in one sitting. No bueno. Jun 17 13 10:19 am Link Sweet potato fries. They make me so happy. Delicious! Jun 17 13 10:33 am Link When talking about traditional potato chips (as opposed to fries): 1) Lay's Classic (ie. plain) 2) Ruffles Original (ie. plain) 3) Lay's Ketchup For fries I like 'em crispy and salted with some ketchup and mayo. I'm also a big fan of plain corn chips but those are hard(ish) to find in Canada. And when a dip is involved: Tostitos tortilla chips. Jun 17 13 10:45 am Link Robb Mann wrote: These look interesting.
