We found gourmet potato chips at Marks & Sparks. No, that's not an oxymoron, they really are gourmet potato chips. Oh wow man, the flavors! We brought home a bag of Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar chips. They were fantastic. They had the skins on and were slightly thicker than they typical American ruffles-lay's-pringles things. Over here they are called c
risps but anyway, the balsamic vinegar was brilliant. Other amazing flavors include:
- Bloody Mary
- Cumberland Sausage
- Taw Valley Cheddar & Caramelised Shallots
Wow. These are really getting into the inventive flavor combinations. Have you ever had sausage flavored potato chips? I didn't know mankind had invented such a thing, but thanks to modern chemistry, it exists. (Here at BASF, we don't make your potato chips. We make your potato chips
better.) I wonder what new flavors are coming down the pipeline? Dear Marketing Department, if you are reading this, I would like to suggest the following new flavors:
- Bacon & Ancho Chile
- Basil & Mozzarella
- Shrimp & Tabasco
Ok maybe the shrimp thing is getting out of hand. Let's just start with bacon and see where it leads us. Everything is better with bacon.
We have a brand here in California called Kettle Chips. They have all kinds of interesting flavors too. Sara and I have tried the Blue Cheese BBQ, which was great, Simple Salt and Pepper, and our favorite: Fully Loaded Baked Potato. Amazing potato flavor.

Maddie... you hit on a winner there. I *love* those BBQ chips. I think they should hire you in the Marks & Spencer marketing department. Ever think about moving to London? :)
