Random Food Thoughts

Now I'm trying to think what types of bagged tortilla chips I've ever had. I just assumed they were always corn.

In stores all the commercial chips are corn. I remember in the 90’s someone tried to mass market flour tortilla chips. I can’t remember the brand. I loved it but it never caught on. It’s only in restaurants that they make them.

We did get a very cheap bag of restaurant style flour tortilla chips the other week and I could not remember the last time I had them. When they are great they are great (fresh and crispy out of the fryer) but corn is king for bagged chips.

Go get ya some Calidad chips and it'll change your mind. They're like $2.50 for a big bag at the Mexican grocery store. Tostitos can pound sand.

Never had these. Tostitos suck and are awful for dipping. Most commercially available tortilla chips are over salted and lack any real corn flavor.

for what purpose?

Dipping for sure. I think the texture holds up better and lets more of the dip flavor come through. But just for snacking…I’m still taking a lightly salted flour chip.

And a fresh flour tortilla chip with cinnamon sugar? Amazing. A corn chip can’t handle that.

Corn has had a monopoly on bagged chips for too long. I want a trustbuster going after them!

Chachos! I could remember the commercial but not the name. These things were fucking amazing.

Clearly you people have not had these salsa verde chips or else you would not besmirch the good name of Tostitos.
