Drive by 'Crisp List' #1


I really like potato chips. It was always a treat for us to get the Cape Cod kind when we were teens- delicious.  Salt and Vinegar yes! Cajun, allllright! How many flavors do you need in one chip- I mean what do you have against dips. Obviously you haven't tried the plain chip and onion dip combo. I've been pitching to Subway for years. Contact my sister, she'll probably send you a sympathy chip n' dip kit
When I first 'moved here' last September I have been haphazardly starting 'crisp lists'. Today I was armed and ready (with my intern gear- oh I didn't tell you- I'm currently an economic downturn IN-tern) so I got it all down...

THE CRISP -flavor-LIST #1:
'Prawn Cocktail'
'Tangy Cheese'
'Lightly Salted'
'Ready Salted' -- must be slang
'Cheese and Onion'
'Salt and Malt Vinegar'
'Smoky Bacon'
'Flame Grilled Steak'
'Thai Sweet Chili'

Usually the list goes on, but as this was a mini mart Tesco I was slightly disappointed.
UNTIL.... I found that Walkers (a UK chip co.) had a flavor-off. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Buy one and vote online for your favorite. And the contestants are.......

'Fish and Chips'
'Crispy Duck and Hoisin'
'Chili and Chocolate'
'Cajun Squirrel'
'Onion Bhaji'
'Builders Breakfast'

We personally tried the 'Squirrel' and the 'Bldrs. Breakfast', guess which won. "You. can really taste the eggs." Was a comment I remeber hearing and I have to admit, it was true.  Here are some pictures- and if you really don't believe me go to Walkers website ( and vote for the Bldrs. Breakfast).

  1. Before your wedding, Ben overdosed on Prosciutto chips in Portugal and the result was disgusting...Beware of the oddly-flavored chips.
