Tropical Gourmet Plantain Chips Spicy flavor


Rating: A-

Another treat from Ecuador via Jon's. This soft crunching chips have that yummy plantain flavor with an added kick (although somewhat disappointing spice level) of natural seasonings. It seems like this brand is no-nonsense and MSG is the last thing with which they would ever mar their wholesome snacks. No cholesterol, artificial colors or flavors, or added preservatives. High in potassium too!

Still delightful and keeps me chompin' without feeling guilty.   I highly recommend this flavor, unless you are a spice enthusiast. This have the right touch for those who want the slightest bit of bite.
Dip?

A little Tapatio to get the spice just right. Maybe a salsa verde.

Doritos Late Night All Nighter Cheeseburger

Rating: A

Found at the 7-Eleven on Magnolia and Tujunga on a late morning speed walk with LD. 99 cents and 1 block later I realized this could be my new favorite Dorito flavor.

Tastes like everything on a greasy Carl's Jr. Big Carl: onion, cheese, ketchup, chargrilled burger patty plus the added taste of corn. Truly a delicious treat that I can't wait to taste again. LD and I tore through this bag in one block.

Would I purchase again?:

I need to find more RIGHT NOW.

Best place to eat?:

Strolling down Magnolia Blvd. on a hot day in the Valley.

Dip?

Not this time, but I sure would like to taste these crushed on top of a burger. Perhaps later this St. Patrick's Day...

Simple, lightly salted, crunchy cassava. Starchy and delicious. Found at Jon's International Marketplace. An unusual chip that has become a new favorite.
Would I purchase again?Without a doubt.
Best place to eat?
Car rides to San Diego.
Dip?
These are pretty amazing on their own but I could chop on these with some mango chutney.
