Best potato chips ever

Zapps has always been my favorite chips hands down over anything else on the planet but this time they've outdone themselves. We tried these the other day and I've finally found a chip I really like. All of their other flavors are good but some are a bit more punchy than I'd like. These are perfect IMO., just enough of everything to get the point across without any one spice overpowering the others. If you like a crisp flavorful chip with the perfect balance of flavor, you owe it to yourself to try these. While you're at it, pick up some Abita beer amd/or a 6 pack of Barq's Root beer (glass bottle only!) while you're at it. (NFI :highly_amused: )

sorry Billy they sound great but can't beat these
 
Sorry guys, Utz Potato Chips from Hanover, PA are the best around. They are delivered fresh, which limits their market to the 100 or so miles surrounding Hanover. Utz believes if you make a great chip, you don't have to hide it with salt etc. In fact, their potato chips have the lowest sodium content of any chip, only 60 mg per serving. They don't advertise their low-sodium standing, but it's out there.

It appears that Utz and Zapps are part of the same family

Uhhh , yeah, 'cause everyone know PA is know for it's great food, second only to Ohio. :laugh:


Seriously though, I saw those in the store tonight here and they have a crab flavor. I'll try those especially if they are zapp related.


I hate to generalize, but I've eaten up north before and was less than enthusiastic about the local fare. It's not that food here is so good, it's that food everywhere else is so bad. Everything I've ever eaten up that way was very very bland. If you ordered chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, you were served something that tasted like sheet rock with a side of spackle. Based on my experience, it would be better suited for such uses too.

I'm all for low sodium, however; food is supposed to have salt and spices in it, otherwise it tastes like spackle.


I'm not saying good food up that way is impossible to find, however; from what I've seen, it's very difficult to come by and pricey when it is finally found.

Not sure I'm on board with the Utz claim overall, but I do love this flavor...(and the pretzel rods that come in a small white box)

From Maine the best chips have to be this brand in Barbeque flavor:

I never have been able to find a BBQ I liked. Everything I've tried was too overpowering.
 
The Fox Family BBQ is very different than most. It's got heat (slow burn) and more 'tater taste, no fake BBQ powder.

The biggest problem I have with "other" food is I was born and raised in an area where everything has "something" in it. We've even gone so far to make stuff you pulled outta a ditch taste good. If you take a potato, cube it, add butter, garlic, parsley and spice to taste you have something great (provided it was done right). You take just a potato and cook it as-is, you wind up with something that tastes like you dug it outta the ground. Matter of fact, it tastes like the ground you dug it out of. Yeah, we eat some weird stuff, but it ALL tastes good; otherwise, what's the point? What, "survival"? I'd rather die first...

There are so many ways to do food wrong and so few ways to do it right. I will agree that most potato chips take the doritos approach and use WAY too much....whatever that crap is they put on them. What is that stuff anyway, pesticed? It tastes like sevin dust. :pukeface:

I'm really apprehensive about trying new foods. I really enjoy eating and it's such a huge disappointment being robbed of a meal by being served construction materials. I'll admit, I'm a food Nazi, that's because it's something that I actually have to eat. :whistle:
 
Volumes to me would be 2 bags of salty chips at the kitchen sink. Couple of DR Peppers.

Somthin changed above, I''ve had my fill of chips.

NOT Hanover.

Used to come in a large tin. No "spices" for me, that stuff is all like eating plastic, IMO.
 
Ain't it the truth. Sour cream and onion, BBQ, Cajun, etc. All taste weird to me.

Now for *good* chips, I'll take Cape Cod Original any day!

PS - chicken fried steak and pan gravy, cole slaw, black eye peas, sweet tea and pecan pie. Now *that* is dinner - at least when I was a kid in Texas ten gazillion years ago.

Which is of course ironic as we had exactly the same response living down south, where, other than Barbeque it wasn't just that stuff tasted like spackle, it was spackle (grits/ chicken fried gravy/ etc. etc.) One of the greatest surprises we experienced living there was that it was almost impossible to even find fresh fruit vegetables of any description. (True story, we met the food critic for the Orlando Sentinal and asked where to find fresh fruit and veg & she sent us to Super Walmart!)

If I were to re-write your quote above, I would say: I'm not saying good food DOWN that way is impossible to find, however; from what I've seen, it's very difficult to come by and pricey when it is finally found. (Cheap and plentiful on the other hand is everywhere)

The moral of the story I suppose being "to each their own." :cheers:
