~~fancy fridays~~ avocado oil BBQ CHIPS

yes, friends, you read that right. my favorite chilean lime bbq chips, which i have had again since my last fancy friday, i recently purchased in barbecue flavor. these can be purchased at the fu wah at 47th and baltimore for $2.99 as of monday.

as you can see, my original plan was to eat them with a boylan's lemon seltzer and a tofu hoagie (no jalapenos) but i did end up saving them. then camden & i brought these suckers to the mann on wednesday night, because we got free tickets to the philadelphia orchestra. love a picnic + love some chips out on the grass. honestly is that not a dream life?

i dont know how to rotate this on blogspot but i did figure out how to add a caption!

anyway, to the chips.
camden thought they were very good, but he has obviously not ingested as many chip varietals as i have. i would say that the bbq flavor was well crafted, a nice combo of smoky and a tiny bit of sweet, but not strong enough. more like bbq smoked than bbq powder coated, which i am used to. so take that as it is, and try to appreciate these on their own terms.
i am very curious to try the classic avocado oil variety, because i wonder if the avocado oil is too subtle to really shine through in these flavored varieties. as with the chilean lime, the texture of the chip is great. they are a good size, with excellent crunch, no injuring the oral mucosa, and a nice tooth. i really do like that a lot about these chips.

i am gonna go with a solid 3.5/5, the chip itself is good but i don't need to seek out the bbq flavor. i love the chip structurally, but i am a little confused about the minimal bbqness, but maybe it just takes some warming up to.
