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
Neuroatypical person when confronted with the existence of people with different opinions
I'm both of those things, so that checks out.
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.
I started to angrily disagree but on reflection it's true, at least in my case.
Same
I had it once.
It's disgusting. But I have to say... It grows on you.
I ate the whole bag including the crumbs.
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).
Some of the UK ~~potato chip~~ crisp flavors I'm learning about are really freakin' weird to someone who comes from the land that invented them.
Prawn cocktail? Beef? Pickled onion?
And then there's this...
prawn cocktail fucking slaps though
For all I know, it is the greatest potato chip flavor in the world. America's range of flavors is surprisingly limited.
crisps probably don't come from the US on the crisps wikipedia page in the history section it says
The earliest known recipe for something similar to today's potato chips is in the English cook William Kitchiner's book The Cook's Oracle published in 1817, which was a bestseller in the United Kingdom and the United States. The 1822 edition's recipe for "Potatoes fried in Slices or Shavings" reads "peel large potatoes... cut them in shavings round and round, as you would peel a lemon; dry them well in a clean cloth, and fry them in lard or dripping".
...
Early recipes for potato chips in the US are found in Mary Randolph's Virginia House-Wife (1824) and in N.K.M. Lee's Cook's Own Book (1832), both of which explicitly cite Kitchiner.
A legend associates the creation of potato chips with Saratoga Springs, New York, decades later than the first recorded recipe.
I skipped a bit with another early recorded version that was also from a british book but that's it
I checked the book and it doesn't claim to have invented it it just presents it with all the other recipes but that could just be the style of cookbooks at the time I dunno I'm not a historian but eh proof enough that there's no evidence of them being american atleast and some evidence they're maybe british
Fixed it:
I'm sure farsighted people appreciate this 🙏
Every fibre of my body repulses this flavour but I LOVE pure salt chips.
In Spain I was betrayed when I wanted "normal" salted ones and was confronted with the most disgusting taste a chip can possibly hold.
Never again..
Do you realize you just insulted my entire race of people?!
But yes
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.
It's one of the best
My mom must've been one helluva freaky pervert then heh
She really was.
While they may co-occur, I think my enjoyment of Salt & Vinegar chips is independent of my freakiness and perversion
If you’re not gasping for air after inhaling on a freshly opened bag then they are not worthy
when I was a kid, I was convinced that salt/vinegar combo was attractive to smokers because they'd burned out their ability to taste stuff unless it was extreme.
now I don't think it's limited to smokers, but all folks who have burned out their taste buds. Never liked them or sought them out, but:
Utz salt and vinegar are actually.... pretty fucking good, and that's a damned high praise from someone who doesn't like the flavor at all I think.
salt and vinegar is the 2nd best flavour (behind all dressed of course)
80% chance this person is Canadian
The heck kind of flavour is ‘all dressed’?
ketchup, BBQ, sour cream and onion, and salt and vinegar all on one chip
What freak doesn't like salt and vinegar?
Huh. Guess I'll have to try them.
Laughs in Canadian.
TIL that I am also a freak.
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
