Elma Chips Sensações - Frango Grelhado

27/6/2013

Frango Grelhado, otherwise known as grilled chicken. Found these in São Paulo, Brazil.

A very thin crisp which makes them feel cheap compared to the classy packaging. Flavouring is pretty good. Not a massive amount of salt, and brings in the taste of olive oil without the greasiness which is good/how did they do it? Not a million miles away from Walkers' roast chicken, but better I'd say.

Doritos - Jacked Ranch Dipped Hot Wings

24/6/2013

More massively oversized Doritos that are a little too thick. 
Flavour is full on as you can see straight off, they are bright red and have stained my finger tips something awful.

Flavour is pretty spicy. Can't say I can taste much of the ranch creaminess that was promised. Just a hella load of cayenne peppers.

Not too bad but yeah, a little too much really. These are definitely not good for you!

Kettle Chips - Krinkle Cut Buffalo Bleu

These were also found in San Francisco.

I love the greasy American classic of spicy Buffalo wings dipped in blue cheese sauce, it really is a massive guilty pleasure that I have to have every time I visit the states. I'm wasn't so sure of how that would translate into a crisp.


These kind of have hints of each flavour but in a real subtle way. The spice is at a good level, the blue cheese sauce is there, and it works.. looking back at a pack I got from Japan the blue cheese can translate quite nicely into crisps. SEE HERE.

The McCoys style crunch is perfect and the flavouring amount just right.

A nice BBQ-ey spice with a subtle undertone of blue cheese. Real nice.

Stacy's Pita Chips - Parmesan Garlic & Herb

Found in San Francisco.

Nowhere near as tasty as I was hoping for. Pitta crisps are a pretty strange type of crisp in themselves, I once received a serious mouth injury as a result of munching down on them in the past. You can't just chuck a load in your mouth without having to consider the possible outcome. 

But these had some serious promise in the flavour department. Unfortunately they did not deliver, I can taste salt and a lot of garlic, the herbs and Parmesan don't stand a chance.

I now have bad breathe and disappointed taste buds.

Hawaiian - Luau BBQ

Found in San Francisco.

Super great crunch from these babies. Low oil but maximum crunch with the perfect thickness. BBQ with an excellent tang. Crisps are unsurprisingly similar to Kettle chips.

Sweet BBQ flavouring with a nice deep spice to it, really like these.

Kettle - Krinkle Cut Zesty Ranch

Found in San Francisco.

These krinkly crisps have a great crunch to them. Similar to the likes of McCoys.

It's a very creamy flavour with hints of chili in there. Wouldn't call them spicy at all but there's definitely a bit in there. There's also a sweet aftertaste which is quite nice.

A big pack would probably make you feel a bit sick as the creaminess is quite rich and full on.

Doritos - JACKED Smoky Chipotle BBQ

13/6/2013

These were kindly supplied by chip review in the US of A.

And i'm glad I opened these ones today! Some seriously tasty goodness.

Jacked are a little thicker than normal Doritos, which I don't think is really a good thing. Doritos have a good thickness and don't need any more. As usual with the doritos brand, flavouring looks pretty toxic, but that's what i've come to expect, they are full of flavour.

These are VERY smoky, which works.. a sweet BBQ flavouring topped with a deep chipotle aftertaste, the mexican favourite chili pepper, it's a real deep flavour probably made that way by the smokiness. The chili spice doesn't hurt but really gives the overall flavour so much taste, anything else straight after these will taste like nothing.

Would get a higher mark if they were a nor

Yummers. 8/10

Veggie straws - Zesty Ranch

13/6/2013

Found in New York

Hollow straws made from potato, tomato and Spinach. It's like kind of like French fries were cut out of the middle, its a similar light crunch. 

They're pretty salty but works well with the ranch dressing, pretty close to sour cream & chive. It's taken me a while to suss put the difference between the vegetables, apart from the obvious colour difference. 

They have the same crunch and the flavouring works well with all of them. Tomato is a subtle but nice sweetness, you can't taste too much difference between the spinach and potato as this flavour is even more subtle. It maybe adds a slight tinge of pesto to the mix.

Papotas Fritas

Buenos Tardes!

Found in Colombia.

Extraordinarily  fresh and natural, made using really big wide potatoes that include the skin. Great crunch and perfect amount of salt. If only they'd tried some flavour in their crisps I think it would go down really well, for now I'm satisfied with the crispy crunch.

Found in Colombia

Like a Dulled down tangy cheese with a little chilli thrown in. Not overly spicy and not an extreme flavour like we're used to in Doritos.
