Roast Turkey & Chestnut Stuffing Hand Cooked Potato Crisps

Another one? This is not like me.
But it is thanksgiving and i though I should be generous and share.
Thanksgiving is all about the food.
And a must is roast turkey with stuffing.



I do not ever think I have had turkey crisps before.
Nor chestnut flavored for that matter.
But why not?
The bag is kind of, well basic.
It has a nice picture, but that is about it.



They do actually smell a bit like turkey, but not like chestnuts.
The crisps are very crispy and have a nice roasted flavor.
They do not really taste like turkey (or chestnuts).
More like roasted meat.

Have a great thanksgiving!

Brie & Cranberry Hand Cooked Potato Crisps

Thanksgiving you say?
Well, then I say... Cranberries!
No thanksgiving dinner is complete without cranberries.
I do not really know the importance of brie.
Maybe they go hand in hand together?
I should try it for real.



I do not know what they smell like, regular potato crisps?
There is nothing distinct about the smell.
But the taste. They are very sweet.
Cranberries are sweet, but they are also sour.
Maybe it is the combination with the brie cheese that makes them so sweet.
Maybe it is just the food additives.

Rusti Chips Sirtaki Tzatziki Flavour [Limited Edition]

March is two weeks in, and still no post from this blog?
That is bad, very bad.
So why not write about potato chips with tzatziki flavouring?

What is that you say?
That sounds like a good idea?
Well All-righty-then.

These are made by Rusti Chips, based in Germany.
I like greek food.
And I especially like a good Tzatziki to go with my greek food.



The round Pringles, sorry... Rusti Chips container is very neat.
The chips are being thrown at you by the greek flag.
There is also some ancient greek ruins pictured on the packaging.
Will these chips be the ruin of me?

For those of you that are interested, Sirtaki is a popular dance from greece.
So, if you are in the mood for dancing potato chips, these are for you.

Upon opening the container, you are greated with the strong smell of tzatziki.
And that is great, that is just what we want them to smell like.
The taste, is unfortunately a bit more tame.
It tastes more like garlic than tzatziki.
But they are still nice and would probably do nice as an add-on snack for your greek dinner.

Doritos Gourmet - Teriyaki Mayonnaise [Limited Edition]

We have here chips from Japan.
Flavoured with a classic Japanese Teriyaki flavour combined with mayonnaise.
Since I do not know Japanese, the art/text on the bag says nothing to me.
It could just as well have been chips flavoured with ranch dressing.
But I knew this when i bought them, so nevermind.

I am not all the familiar with Japanese teriyaki flavouring.
And this is fast going into weird territory.
I am not really sure I want to continue this testing session.
But I will do it for you my friends.

Teriyaki is a form of sweet soy sauce marinade.
And maybey it is supposed to smell like this but I really do not know.
It smells weird. A bit sweet. A bit like chips.



The flavour is also weird. First they do not taste like anything.
Then a sweet flavour slowly starts to appear.
Then that sweet flavour mixes with another flavour (mayonnaise perhaps?).
And that is when they start to taste disgusting.
And then it mixes again and they taste a bit sweet again and it tastes ok again.
So to recap:
"These does not taste like anything, scratch that, they are sweet, but what happens now? Eeeew! This is horrible, ohh, they are sweet again? Sure i will have another."

I would not call these good nor bad.
Interesting is the word i want to use.

Estrella Loud & Tasty Cheese Burger Potato Chips [Limited Edition]

Well, someone at Estrella decided to go all-out with these.
Usually, potato chips in Sweden are pretty standard.
Sourcream and onion, pepper, salt... That kind of thing.
But these, they are adventurous.
Promising a smell and taste of freshly made cheese burgers.
Will they live up to the hype?



Well, i think so?
I don't really know how chips with cheese burger flavour is supposed to smell and taste.
Opening the bag, there is a kind of burnt smell filling the room.
It sure doesn't smell like McDonalds och Burger King.
It's not really pleasant and it lingers for a long time.
But what about the flavour?
There is a disctinct cheese burger flavour... Kind of like McDonalds cheese burgers.
But there is also something burnt in the flavour. Same as the smell.
This makes them not so tasty.
They are fun to try, but a few chips are enough for me at least.

Deluxe Caramelised Onion Sweet Balsamico Crisps

Found theses at Lidl and thought, why not?
They have a very sweet intense scent, vingegar but not really vinegar.
I was expecting them to have a salty taste, but they are more sweet.
I prefer salty chips, but i guess these were ok.

Gårds Tång & Algsaltchips

I've written about Gårds chips before.
Those chips where flavoured with cheese, onion and bacon and wasn't that good. Link
These are flavoured with seaweed- and algaesalt.
Kind of a weird combination when you think about it.
They smell kind of like the sea combined with the smell och chips in general.
The salty flavour is a bit extreme. It's like when you'er out swimming and accidentally swallow some saltwater.
But not in an unpleasant way really.
Pretty nice actually.

Gårds - Ost/Lök/bacon-chips

Dessa chipsen införskaffades på Matmässan i Malmö, för övrigt en väldigt trevlig mässa.
De ser ut som helt vanliga lantchips.

De luktar desto bättre. Bacon! är den lukt som kommer igenom starkast och efter det en blandning av ost och lök.

De smakar dock desto mer lök än bacon. Ostsmaken uteblir helt. Ärligt talat, så var de lite för kraftiga. Alldeles för mycket smak och inte direkt goda egentligen... Jag slängde resten av påsen *skäms*

Pringles Salt & Vinegar

Ja! Vinägerchips! Enda sedan Estrellea (var det väl?) kom med sin första variant av Salt & Vinegar-chips så har jag varit frälst. Det är en sådan härlig kombination av salt och syrligt. Tyvärr finns inte de chipsen kvar. :(

Denna variationen kommer då från Pringles, men är de lika goda? Nej, tyvärr inte... Pringles är för övrigt en chipssort som lanserades i USA redan 1968 och alla vet hur de ser ut, exakt likadana :) Man skulle nästan kunna tro att det är någon muterad avkomma av vanliga chips. Men anledning till att de ser ut som de gör och att de kommer i en tub är att tillverkaren var trött på hur vanliga chips var söndermulade och på luft i chipspåsen.

I alla fall, de är inte lika goda som de kunde vara. De luktar väldigt mycket vinäger, syrligt. Men smaken är ganska tam. Äter man vinägerchips ska man inte kunna äta så många åt gången, det ska märkas i munnen. Här kan man äta hur många som helst utan att man märker något.Men det är ett bra försök.
