Re: Potato chips and other snacks - reviewed

That's a classy name for a mundane dish.

Gravy on fries is quite popular in some places here in the States, never seen them served with cheese curds, though.

So would you mind boxing up those new flavors and sending them to the American members of the board?
But I could throw in some Old Dutch ketchup chips, too.

The poutine is good. The cinnamon bun was meh. It's just cinnamon on a chip. No real sweet or savoury, really. The tzatziki starts getting weird after a while - too much cucumber flavour, not enough of anything else. Haven't tried the jalapeno + mac.

Personal top 4 Potato Chip-like items, I'm a simple man:
4. Cape Cod Original- still the best kettle chip. Simple, salty, potato-y.
3. Pringles Sour Cream & Onion - not too sweet, just the right tang. The perfect SC&O chip.
2. Lay's Original - the best regular old potato chip. Often copied, never equalled. I think they use a custom potato cultivar for these chips.
1. Ruffles Sour Cream and Cheddar - basically crack to me. Oily, sloppy goodness oozing out of its so so tasty pores. This is the nuclear weaponry of chips.

Re: Potato chips and other snacks - reviewed
I really like these ones

They are Canadian and I'd have them when I go over to Windsor or Toronto or had a friend from Canada visit. I've seen them in stores in the US and Quizno's locations, but they are Frito Lay branded and don't taste the same. I'm not sure if the ones in Canada are also Frito Lay now.
And now I need to seek out these chips if they are still being made. Mrs. Vickies Balsamic Vinegar and Sweet Onion

For local chips, these ones are pretty good especially with a good chip dip.

Of the 4 votes here in the States the only really good one is the Ginger Wasabi flavor.
The Capucino doesn't taste like coffee at all and just tastes like sweetened cinnamon.
The Bacon mac and cheese doesn't have enough taste.
Mango tastes like old perfume.
Poutine is a flavour that would do well here but it needs to have a better name like
cheese and gravy or something.

Re: Potato chips and other snacks - reviewed
That's disappointing since I didn't like the Lays version of Mrs Vickies in the states. The package simply said sea salt & vinegar instead of Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar.
They changed something from what I remember them tasting like when I had them in the past in Canada. I'll have to try a bag sometime.. I did see another flavor that looked good chili & sour cream I think it was.
That's the one nice thing about the area I'm at, its like a 45 minute drive to Windsor, with good bridge traffic that is.

I'm still dumbfounded that an adult make can go his whole life without having eaten a Gyro/Shawarma/Doner Kebab. I mean, not only is it one of the most delicious and satisfying sandwiches in the world (when done right), it's pretty much ubiquitous around the fucking world - one of the only sandwiches that is available on every continent and almost every country.

While i've had a gyro before (and even then only a couple times), i had never even heard of shawarma until I saw it on the Avengers. Doesn't seem to crazy that someone wouldn't seek out Greek food.

And it's not just "Greek", these sandwiches are indigenous to pretty much every middle-eastern and Mediterranean country/culture, whom brought it with them to every place they reside, all over the world. It's more common around the world than pizza - would you think it's normal if someone never had pizza?
I've been to Istanbul (home of the shawarma), but the best one I had was in Paris.

The only difference between a gyro and a shawarma is that the cut of the meat is a little different, otherwise, same exact meat and flavor.
