~~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.

//Fancy Fridays// Good Health Natural Foods: Kettle Style Avocado Oil Chips

Today we're starting a new feature on the blog: Fancy Fridays. On Fridays when I remember to post I will feature more ~upscale~ chip varietals. This weeks choice is avocado oil kettle chips in Chilean lime. I have purchased them at the Walgreens on 11th and Locust, as well as the infamous Fu Wah bodega, which has a pretty solid chip collection.

Now, you ask yourself, Emily must really like these chips because she's purchased them twice. Well, you're right. I would give them a 4/5. these are one of the best ~upscale~ chip varietals I've tried. Loyal readers will know how I felt about the ~upscale~ lays kettle chips -- I feel medium. These are delicious. Appropriate crunch, not injurious to the mucous membranes. Nice golden hue and appropriate oil content. Small green flecks.

I have only eaten the chilean lime variety because you know how I love a wild chip flavor. They have a VERY fine powder and a light citrus flavor; it is really quite enjoyable. I shared these with a classmate Nicole 1, who enjoyed them immensely as well. We finished off a medium sized bag retailing for $2.65 in just 20 minutes.

The chips leave an incredibly fine film on the fingers; if Cheetos is 7 out of 10, 10 being the messiest snack you can imagine, these were maybe a 2.75. I paired them with a Vitamin Water XXX and it was a great snack. Go forth chips lovers and enjoy.
