I tried these one holiday season and they just tasted like allspice to me.
Light reading:
Got a couple of flavors of Torres chips at a local Spanish food store. One was sparkling wine, and strangely enough the chips do taste like champagne. It seemed odd to me at first but theyâve grown on me.
Over a hundred posts and no one has found Soylent Green crisps?
(turkey & stuffing chips)
Disgusting, and I love actual turkey and stuffing.
And I must endorse their black truffle chips. Incredibly addictive.
I can never start eating those - I wonât stop
(Kettle Korean BBQ flavor)
Iâm not sure what gochujang is supposed to taste like, but to me, these chips have a fairly strong meaty flavor. Theyâre currently our favorite flavored chip.
Oh wow, my tastebuds didnât pickup the meat flavor. I need to try them again. What had the gochujang flavor to me was that sweet heat.
Brought this back from Hong Kong but have just eaten it today. Expired but not limp, no mould or maggots or anything like that. Still tasted the âbak kwaâ flavour which is very meaty and a bit sweet. I donât particularly like sweet meats but wanted to try this anyway.
What Bak Kwa looks like in meat form. The Singaporean version is coarser and glistened with fat, the Macanese version is less so and the meat is finer. I like Macanese version more. Have to go to Macau again then.
I love dried meat and seafood. Vietnamese beef jerky, biltong, dried stockfish in Iceland and Norway, dried squid and salmon jerky in Hokkaido. I love it all. But the next day my jaws hurt so much from all the chewing! When I say âhurt so muchâ it feels as if my jaws have been dislocated!
Tried the carnitas flavor:
It had a meaty taste, but was way too salty. To its credit, FritoLay replied to our e.mail of dismay with a coupon worth another bag of something.
I find chips/crisps almost always too salty. Would like a separate extra sachet in the taste is not strong enough, but it tends to be salty anyway.
Found photo of the new flavours. I have eaten chile rellenos stuffed with vegs in Baja so thatâs the only âchile rellenosâ flavour I know. Btw, we donât have these fun flavours over here.
Iâve been getting boxes from Universal Yums for the last few months, and each one has had at least one potato chip bag (local brands). I canât remember all of the ones Iâve had so far, but lemon chili chips from Egypt were really good. OTOH, the âmayonnaiseâ chips from Colombia didnât taste like much at all.
Thanks - Iâve only referred to this as rougan or so I had no idea what the Bak Kwa on the bag referred to.
I think most of the Layâs special flavors tend to disappoint, and Iâm a huge potato chip fan. Layâs brand I do find particularly salty, so that doesnât help. Some smell ok when you open the bag, but many have a highly artificial flavor that grows as you eat it.
3 New Layâs flavours (where I am). If you have already seen them then itâll only confirm things still take decades to reach my (food) hell. I saw their âStrongâ ones in other countries a year before we got them here! Got the jalapeño because itâs supposed to be âsuper spicyâ.
I try Subwayâs âteriyakiâ first because itâs probaby the worst of the 4. Itâs a little savoury, sweet for my taste (but thenn I donât have a sweet tooth). Needs more tamari or soy sauce. Better yet, gimme Korean flavour any day. Soy sauce, ginger juice, sesame oil, garlic and chillies!
Not from "all over the world ", but from parts of it.
Iâm a boring chip person. This is my favorite.
I donât know about the whole country. This reminds me of Americaâs Test Kitchen where they say that and then test a bunch of stuff from the Northeast, calling it national.
