silverpipes asked: I will seriously send you Middleswarth (there's an A in their name and A-quality in their product) chips if you want me to. Bar-B-Q? Sour Cream and Onion? The plain ones are stupid. Do you think they are REALLY the best chips, or are we just conditioned to think so?
Hah! Thanks! I’ll send you my address but if I know my father I would guess he’s already gone to the grocery store.
I can send you Virginia stuff though. I’m trying to think of what might be shippable. All I can think of immediately is peanuts. I’ll keep an eye out for other stuff.
I love the bbq and the sour cream and onion, the plain ones –eh. Not necessary.
I think it’s probably about 60% conditioning. I mean, I’ll eat some Ruffles or whatever (though I tend to stick to Wise brands to keep my hometown in business) but those things are hard on your mouth. I always feel like I just got done chewing glass. Middleswarth have the thin cut potato chip down pat but they aren’t cut out for dips. You need an entire handful of the original flavor for adequate dip retrieval. I think that might be remedied with the kettle cooked variety, but I’d rather my chips come pre-flavored. Dipping is exhausting.
I do hold fast to my argument that all other bbq flavors are inferior. I don’t even consider them bbq to tell you the truth.
I didn’t realize I had such strong snack food convictions.
I’m a little embarrassed.
