Well, guess I’m either a freak or a pervert.
I’m both of those things, so that checks out.
My home state has salt and vinegar chips that are so acidic that eating more than a handful will burn the inside of your mouth and the skin on the edge of your lips will fall off.
So anyway those are my favorite flavor ever and I eat so many every time I have the chance to eat them that I can’t taste for a week.
Edit: I hate autocorrect. Always have.
Here in NZ we have the regular salt and vinegar chips, but also the more intense vinegar and salt chips.
I like the stronger ones, but too many makes my mouth feel like it is about to fall out.
I suppose the fix is to find a basic drink to neutralize the acid before it burns your mouth?
I can’t think of any basic drinks…
EDIT: Apparently, milk, tea, and certain juices are basic/alkaline.
Pro tip: After vomiting, have a glass of milk (assuming you can keep it down). It’ll neutralize the stomach acid burning your throat
But that’s the good stuff.
I’ve never had the fortune of trying salt and vinegar flavoured stuff. Seems like there’s a really ardent fandom around it
whaaaaa? are you… sure?
about the fandom or whether I’ve had it?
about having salt and vinegar in a food combo
Fixed it:
I’m sure farsighted people appreciate this 🙏
My mom must’ve been one helluva freaky pervert then heh
She really was.
salt and vinegar is the 2nd best flavour (behind all dressed of course)
The heck kind of flavour is ‘all dressed’?
80% chance this person is Canadian
Meanwhile in Lithuania:
Yes for pink
I believe these are potato and beet flavors.
The first one is more like bacon and sour cream, but tastes a lot like cepelinai, Lithuanian potato dumplings.
The second one is beet, green onion, cucumber, egg and kefir. So just like Lithuanian cold borcht (but a lot saltier).
The same company had made pussy and penis flavoured chips too, but I have never tried those.
The number of people who, having ostensibly read your reply, have not simply shit themselves trying to ask you “EXCUSE ME WHAT THE REFRIED FUCK?” is staggering.
A bit of old news, really.
Why not have beet chips at that point? Like, from beet instead of potato. Its amazing
Looks like specifically cold borshch flavour. So beets and yoghurt
That doesn’t really sound bad; I love a savory chip.
S&V was an unknown flavour in my country. So i was rather sceptical when I tried fries in the UK with that kind of seasoning for the first time.
I am a convert now. Anyone who considers this flavour “freaky” can go and drown in American ketchup (you know that kind with 50% HFCS).
You tried chips in the UK btw
I wanted to keep it readable for the American audience. Actually, I tried both: Crisps and Chips.
Aye fuck that mate, not our fault they have the reading comprehension of toddlers 😂
Ironically you just made it more confusing. Americans know what that fries are chips and chips are crisps in England. Just call them what they’re called there; most people will know what you’re talking about.
Yeah its like converting to centigrade for us.
Bro, both Ketchup and S&V are worse than salted. They taste so bad they actively lower the quality compared to no flavouring at all
Not enjoying salt & vinegar is just a sign of weakness
*addiction to sugar ftfy
True, I’m a freak and a pervert and the sort of person who has considered buying salt and vinegar powder because she loves the chips so much
UK lemmings be piling in to explain how this is the best flavour in the world…
… Which it is
I was always blown away by the wild chip flavors when I traveled to England as a kid. Monster Munch is a flavor unlike anything you can find stateside
Monster Munch is a brand. They do a tangy pickled onion, roast beef, flaming hot, and a handful of others. Pickled Onion are incredible.
Yeah but if someone says monster munch and doesn’t specify the flavour you know they mean pickled onion.
It’s apparently not a universal opinion, but I reckon pickled onion are the all time best monster munch flavour. Beef and hot are both great too, but picked onion is best IDST
Potentially more controversially, I rate them in a crisp sandwich situation too
I… feel like my entire life has been a hollow waste. 😆
We Americans really have a near total dearth of flavors in our processed foods. It’s been getting better over recent decades, but it’s still just industrial flavorings. The flavoring is just something Americans invented to cover up a lack of nutrients in our food. These processed foods have the added bonus of spurring us to eat more because the food is so nutritionally empty, yet tastes like it should be nutritive. Ref: “The Dorito Effect” by Mark Schatzker.
Speaking of wild chips flavors, have you guys tried ketchup chips? It’s mostly sold in Canada and it sounds like it would taste awful, but it’s actually pretty good.
walkers also does ketchup crisps here in the UK
never liked monster munch as I don’t like pickled onion but beef space raiders are great and they’re the same sort of crisp if you’ve ever tried those
nah prawn cocktails the best crisp flavour salt & vinegars alright too though I think I prefer pretty much any other flavour apart from bacon artificial bacon flavour is foul
i’m still salty (and vinegary) over the fact UK is hogging the best crisp flavour which is indeed prawn cocktail. I need to go to the local “imported foods” store to get those and i’m at the mercy of my fellow countrymen to keep buying them so the store keeps restocking
A prawn cocktailian? Here?
Sir, I will have to ask you to step outside.
Hmm… in Canada that is one of the basic best selling flavours… you basically have to offer salt and vinegar if you sell chips. Is it really that uncommon in the states. I mean I heard it’s hard to get ketchup flavour down there, but I wouldn’t have suspected salt and vinegar as being rare.
As an American fan of salt and vinegar chips, you’re never having a hard time finding them, but they’re not in the variety packs and if you bring them to a cookout without any other flavors you will get mean looks. Though really the only flavor other than plain that wouldn’t get you mean looks for only bringing it is barbecue (maybe jalapeño)
Nah salt and vinegar chips are also very popular in the US. But I’m not personally a fan, so I agree with the meme.
As for ketchup flavored chips. I did not know that was a thing, you may be right about that.
I’ve seen ketchup chips promoted as a “limited edition” flavor in the US.
Yeah, ketchup is basically salt and vinegar but with sugar and “tomato” powder. So it’s ultimately a bit milder than salt and vinegar.
Ketchup chips taste more like “plain salsa” chips to me. Just a vague tomato flavor with no tang at all.
I’ll eat salt and vinnie’s all day though, so maybe i’m biased.
Hey!!
…yeah.
