it's no secret that i like food. but i LOVE junk food. especially chips. i'm a savory girl so i'll take chips over cakes, cookies and cupcakes anyday...unless they're red velvet ones cause those make me weak at the knees. that was also quite the alliteration!
so whenever abroad, i look forward to the chip selection because the flavors you find are so exotic! i can still recall the thai chili flavored pringles i had in angers, france that may be the best chips i've had yet. i haven't seen them anywhere else though i haven't looked very hard.
this isn't my first time to china so i'm pretty familiar with the selection, but people are always inventing new flavors so i had to scope it out. low and behold i found two verrrry interesting flavors:
yea...cucumber and cheese lobster. how could i not get these? who in this world makes cucumber flavored chips? the chinese do. i mean...lemon tea and blueberry were also in the running. those flavors really exist i am not making this up.
the cucumber flavor did not taste like cucumber. in fact, i made several family members eat the chips too and none of us could figure out what it tasted like. i spent half the bag eating very slowly and occasionally trying to 'cleanse' the palette somehow to figure out but i gave up. however, true to the bag's statements, there was an odd cooling sensation which just threw me off. let me make that mistake for you and don't ever buy this flavor.
now onto the cheese lobster. how could i not resist? look at that saucer pouring thick velveeta-looking cheese onto the lobster? the chinese can also take things a little too literally. this bag was much more enjoyable than the cucumber one but this one didn't particularly taste like lobster either. they nailed the cheese part, but the lobster bit just kind of tasted like some sort of seafood essence if that makes any sense. in any case, the fam bam couldn't get enough of this one so there wasn't too much left for me.
if i wasn't so lazy, i would've gotten lemon tea and blueberry purely for curiosity purposes. maybe next time ;)
