Spicy Thai Kettle Brand Chips

Product:

Kettle Brand Chips
Spicy Thai - ginger with ATTITUDE

all natural potato chips - never any trans fats


My husband is the potato chip lover in our house. I usually forget that we even have a bag in the cupboard, but come lunchtime on Saturday, he sits down with his sandwich and pulls out the bag of chips. Oddly enough, I ran into these spicy Thai chips on a visit to the Science Museum and I just had to try them. I love them. Not that I eat them everyday, mind you, but if I was the kind of person who could eat potato chips everyday these would be my potato chips of choice.

They are spicy, but not so hot that your mouth is burning. They are a tad sweet and more than a tad salty. They definitely give you that sensation of moving from sweet to spicy to hot that good Thai food can do for you. I have to admit that the idea of combining Thai flavors with potatoes would never have occurred to me. I need to get out more. These are brilliant.

So, what does my potato chip loving husband think of these Thai chips? He doesn't really like them. "A potato chip is perfect just the way it is," he says, "Why mess with it?" He thinks flavored potato chips are like flavored coffee and he went so far as to compare my Thai chips to Swiss Mocha Hazelnut Peppermint Stick coffee. So for all of you potato chip purists out there - you may not appreciate these spicy asian themed chips. Everyone else.... you'll love 'em.
