//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.

REVIEW COMING SOON

/////////////UPDATE////////////////
i do not have a complete review but they were around 3/5. the bag was filled SO LOW, which was pretty frustrating, but the cheesy powder on these was good. the fries were very thick, like a square cut fry almost. very interesting & definitely weird. would definitely put on a chip bucket list but don't know if i would purchase again.

HERR'S TRUCK

SAW ONE HEADING NORTH ON THE NYS THRUWAY.
BE ALERTED!

(though herr's has not been doing well lately with this blog's reviews...)

weird

Ruffles Ultimate in Tangy Honey Mustard - bought these suckers at a gas station at appx 1 am. This explains a lot about them.

I still thought they were weird. This also says a lot about them.

They really do taste like honey mustard, which I just learned is not a flavor I want to combine with chips. I am a fan of the Ruffles Ultimate branch of Ruffles, if just because they seem more party and I like to support the variety lines of chips.

They were very yellow and smelled really weird, but Josephine ate them. I don't think we ate the whole bag.

2.5/3 because flavor was horribly weird but chip itself is a high quality chip. Thank you Ruffles.

lays kettle cooked - applewood smoked bbq

this weekend i was having a discussion with a dear friend and my sister about bbq chips. we prefer a more smoky and subtle bbq flavor, so i thought i would give "applewood smoked bbq" kettle chips from LAY'S a try. they are 40% reduced fat, which i am usually 100% against, so i was hesitant but all of the adjectives about the bbq flavor were really pulling me in.

i mean look at that well designed bag. these are fancy chips.

flavor was well-developed, smoky with a little bit of sweet. if anything, the chips are a little dry.

nice crisp, no damage to mucus membranes (i have mentioned previously the risk of injury to oral mucosa with kettle chip varieties). my friend who enjoyed them with me deemed them "quite good."

ultimately, don't know if i would buy again because they were dry, somewhere between cracker and chip and possibly more on the cracker side. not what i want in a chip, therefore 3/5.

herr's kettle chips - jalapeno flavor

3.5-4/5

these could easily be a 4 and be a part of my regular chips selection, but i still have to spend more time with them to be confident.

these chips have a nice texture and crunch. sometimes i am hesitant on a kettle chip because it can be too crunchy and injure oral mucosa, but these were appropriately crunchy.

nice potato flavor, with a sprinkling of green jalapeno or jalapeno-simulated flakes. not too spicy, a definite flavor of jalapeno instead of the usual vinegar that the doritos and cheetos families like to utilize for "spicy" flavors. low to medium heat with great flavor.

i would definitely recommend these.
