Kettle Brand Fiery Thai
The local Kroger has got to be on to me - they stock more flavors of Kettle Brand chips than anywhere else I've been. Not that I'm complaining.
I like Thai food. I like spicy food (to a point). These sounded like an excellent idea. Not to sure about the almond oil thing though. What's up with that?
Before I continue with the review, I'd like to take a moment to call attention to something:
See that? Cindy got to this bag of chips before I could take a photo, and she opened them using Kettle Brand's patented Evil-Bag-Ruining-Notch™. There was no way to effectively apply a chip clip to the bag so we were forced to eat the whole thing. You listening, Kettle Brand? I'm on to you and your fiendish plot!
Ahem. So ... review, right!
The chips had a kind of fruity scent with herbal notes, which honestly made me a bit nervous after the experience with those Froot-Loop chips. Nevertheless, once started we will not be deterred.
There was a moderate amount of beige powder on the chips. Being the same color as the chip it tended to blend in, so they added a lot of green flecks to make it more obvious ... and maybe to suggest spicy Thai?
The flavor was mostly sort of onion-y. There was also a mild amount of spice that built up to a decent afterburn.
On the whole they didn't seem very Thai to me, but they were still very tasty. I wonder if the fruity aspect of the scent came from the frying in almond oil.
