Kettle Brand Pepperoncini
I've got a strange love/hate relationship with pepperoncini. Most of the time I really like them but every now and then I get one that tastes just a little too ... green? I'm not sure what the disliked flavor is, really, though it's really strong in bell peppers and I sometimes taste it in green beans.
All of that is pretty tangential though because we're talking about potato chips here, so I'll get on with it.
I picked these up at the local Kroger. It turns out my store has a surprisingly large selection of chips - including more varieties of Kettle Brand than they even list on their website. Coincidence? Or are they aware of my compulsion?
The scent of these chips is pretty light. I only got a slight vinegar smell that was close to what I would expect from dill pickle chips.
The chips had a moderate amount of powder on them, with a color that made them look almost dirty. They also had that kettle-chip greasiness.
For flavor they had a good pepperoncini taste with a light hint of garlic. After eating a few they seemed to be a cross between garlic pickle and sour cream and onion dip. Not bad, but not fantastic either. Then again, I'm not really sure what I was expecting from them.
