I'm waffling over this one

Lay's Chicken & Waffles




The taste of these was disturbingly accurate. It had a strong flavor of both fried chicken and waffle, along with a touch of maple syrup. I could even taste the pat of butter. Unfortunately, as with the Cappucino chips from way back, slightly sweet potato chips just don't work for me.

Pretty Gouda

Lay's Smoked Gouda & Chive




The smoked gouda flavor was subtle, but on the whole this one wasn't at all bad. If they put these into regular production I suppose they'd be hard to distinguish from the run-of-the-mill cheese and onion chips.

Brazilian Steak House Chips?

Lay's Brazilian Picanha




I don't think I've ever had the dish this one was based on, but the chip flavor isn't bad. That being said, none of this year's flavors so far have been as good as the Lay's Reuben chips from last year.

Tikka Tikka Tikka!

Lay's Kettle Cooked Indian Tikka Masala




These did indeed taste like chicken tikka masala, though more like the kind you get in the food court of a shopping mall rather than from a good restaurant.

At least it's not chop suey

Lay's Chinese Szechuan Chicken




Ok, these were strange ... not bad, but still not quite good. The first couple of bites did indeed taste like a spicy chicken dish from a cheap Chinese take-out place. After a few bites though the flavor kind of faded away and all that was left was just ... spicy.

Sub-Prime

Kroger Prime Rib & Horseradish




They had a good concept here, but they skimped on the flavor. I really couldn't taste either the beef or the horseradish. What I was left with was a chip with a slightly odd taste.
