Looking to add flavor to your life? Spicy barbecue, zesty lime, and cheesy parmesan chips are so yesterday.
Today’s potato chip flavors are more complicated infusions like Smoked
Salmon and Cream Cheese and Chesapeake Crab. Some modern chips
may even replace lunch for those on the go, like Tuna Fish potato
chips. See if you can find one or two that might satisfy your
cravings… or just your curiosity.
Who knows more about making chips than the British? It may not be a coincidence that some of the most daring chip flavors are made by British companies. Walkers, for example, is so innovative that it accepts challenges from the public for new flavors.
1. Walkers Cajun Squirrel Potato Chips
The Cajun Squirrel was a Walkers flavor competition winner and, lo and behold, Walkers went and made them. I’ve no idea what these taste like, and I’m not sure I’m adventurous enough to even try one.
