Kettle Chips

So last week I was watching Modern Marvels and I was about potatoes. Of course they had a section on potato chips. It featured Kettle Brand. After the standard we buy the best potatoes and treat them with love and respect only frying them in separate batches and hand inspecting them Blah Blah Blah. Something caught my attention. The range of flavors they offer. So this week I sought them out at the Kroger on 12th. Look what I found and what a find it was. Who ever does their flavor profiles must have his tongue insured for millions. This was spot on. A great balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy until you eat about half a dozen and the back burn sets in. Not taste bud killing but a really nice level. When my scalp began to sweat I knew I was at a level I enjoy. They have jalapeno, habanero, and cayenne in the mix along with ginger and lime oil. The gestalt of the flavor reminds me of Tom Yum soup. If you like Thai seek this out and enjoy. I know I certainly do. I will also seek out other flavors. I have a feeling this will join Cajun Singles as a regular feature

Ooh, those Thai flavored chips are good. Try the Buffalo Bleu flavor, too...
