Welcome to another installment of Taste Test Tuesdays! This might actually become a semi-regular thing. Maybe. Probably not.
This time I opted for salty food: potato chips.
Boo and Radley helped with the taste test.
Macaroni and Cheese Chips
Radley: (::a thumbs up on one hand with another hand in the bag and a mouth full of chips::)
Agreed, Radley. I was afraid they would taste like regular cheesy chips, but there’s definitely a cheesy noodle aftertaste.
Mozzarella Marinara Chips*
Boo: Not enough marinara.
A boy after my own heart…except I think he got a bad chip because I tasted a lot of marinara. And I have high standards because I’m a sauce hog girl.
If we (When are you taking me out for dinner and drinks?) ever share food with dip, you’ll need to eat fast stab me with the spoon order extra dip. The cracker, bread, whatever is just a vehicle for the dip.
Seriously. No one says this:
-
“One order of nachos, please. And hold the cheese and salsa. I just want the chips.”
-
“I’d like the pita bread and spinach dip only without the spinach dip.”
-
“Thoughtsy and I will split the crab dip.”
Only say this last one if by “split,” you mean you’ll be eating the bread while I shovel the crab dip directly into my mouth using my fingers a spoon.
Consider yourself warned.
*This flavor is Esme’s favorite.

3 bucks for a bag of air and 14 chips. Not me.

Archer Farms has THEEEEEE best trail mix…the one with the chocolate caramel balls in it!
Yeah, I know, it’s sort of off topic, but I noticed the chips were from Archer Farms and I got like ALL EXCITED!
Yes, you can shoot me now.

Totally have a whole package of those in my pantry as we speak. Yum!

Well, first . . . I HAVE taken you out for dinner and drinks. And now that you mention it, I don’t remember us ever getting dip. Good thing too, because I might have lost an appendage. I too, love a good dip. Next time we go out, we can just each order our own crab dip and everyone will be happy, yes? 🙂 Oooh, maybe we can go to that mexican place I mentioned with the fantastic queso!! Obviously, we will order 2.
So, are the Mac & cheese chips worth getting? I love me some mac & cheese, and also Target, so seems like a good match.

Luckily, we opted for crab cake instead of crab dip when you came to Frederick.
I like the marinara ones better than the Mac and Cheese. They were neat to try, but I never really ate any more of them.

The cracker, bread, whatever is just a vehicle for the dip.
Amen! This is especially so for me where ketchup is involved. Less fry, more ketchup. (Li’l D skips the vehicle and just licks it off the plate. I do still need a bit of vehicle!)

I flippin’ love ketchup. I’m convinced its from Zeus himself.

Esme has good taste! My cat loved Doritos. She would got NUTS for them. Thinking of that commercial with the dog now…LOL.
June 20th, 2012 at 7:03 am
Mmmmm…Doritos….

I’ve had dinner with you when the only thing you ate was an Oreo shake. Am I lying?
I love the irony in your inability to commit to this being a regular feature.
June 20th, 2012 at 7:04 am
Remember we had Chinese, too. And I don’t remember what we got in Annapolis. Maybe it was a crab cake.
I’m the only person who’s allowed to have commitment issues. =)

I haven’t had breakfast yet, and those Macaroni and Cheese Chips sound pretty darn good. I think before anyone takes you out for dinner and drinks, you must answer this question: do you double-dip?
June 20th, 2012 at 7:05 am
If it’ll keep people out of the crab dip, yes. Yes, I do.
Usually I do the thing where I stick the celery in the ranch bite and then stick the nonbitten end back in.

Where are the crab dip flavored chips? Spinach dip chips? Could you have like a whole entire meal of fancy chips? If you have crab dip flavored chips can you still have the crab dip? So many questions!!
June 20th, 2012 at 7:06 am
We do have crab flavored chips. I think they’re just regular chips covered in Old Bay.
June 19th, 2012 at 10:01 am
mmmm, macaroni and cheese chips sound good
June 19th, 2012 at 11:04 am
I was so curious what you’d say about these chips! Peppermeister just got these basil and marinara chips (by Lays I think), and they were kinda weird. Poor dad, on Father’s day he reached for one thinking they were barbecue-flavored!
I am glad you warned me about the dip, too. Things could have gotten ugly.
June 20th, 2012 at 7:07 am
If you share your vodka, I will share my dip.

Chips with weird flavors freak me out. I once saw chicken flavored chips and the thought of it makes me instantly gaggy.
Also, “split” is an evil word at dinner, unless we are talking about the bill.
June 20th, 2012 at 7:08 am
Chicken flavored chips are weird. I mean, what kind of chicken? I only like white meat. And I prefer BBQ Chicken.

Potato chips are the only kind of “bad food” that I will never kick out of my life. I eat them a lot. Perhaps too much. But, I mean, I MUST HAVE A VICE!
PS: Thanks for featuring my comment, lady. 😉

It was an awesome comment.
I’m glad you like chips. I was beginning to worry since you seem to shy away from the sweets.
June 19th, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Marinara chips just seem wrong to me. Marinara should be wet and gooey, and chips should be crunchy and dry.
June 19th, 2012 at 12:32 pm
I don’t mean the marinara itself should be gooey. That would be bad. but the melted mozzarella should be.
June 20th, 2012 at 7:10 am
Melted cheese is soooooo yummy. I would prefer the real thing, but the chips were a nice changeup.
June 19th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
I would like some macaroni and cheese now. You can have the chips.
June 20th, 2012 at 7:11 am
The real thing is definitely better than the chips.
June 19th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
I am a chip nut! So after reading this post I need to hog a bag of chips 😀
Cheers

I’ve seen the macaroni and cheese chips and I have almost purchased them but something in me stops myself. It’s a fear of either being terribly disappointed or, so in love with them that I’m found covered in crumbs on the kitchen floor in the middle of the night :).
