So I have a few canadians friends (I know :eek3, and they had told me about some ketchup flavored potato chips. I thought it was kind of gross. They seem to like it a lot. So today I go to Cubs and I see that Old Dutch has it (I don't know how long it has been out, maybe a while, I'm not a chip person, so I would not know). Anyways, I bought a bag and gave it a try. Not bad at all :laugh:. For those who has tried it, thoughts? :biggrin:
They are gross. lol. Europe has them. even made by Lays. I had some when I was in iraq. some turkish ones. I think they are gross.
i know a few months ago i believe lays was selling Burger King ketchup flav chips too... it's not as bad as you would think...but i'll go with something else..
I like to dip my plain potato chips in ketchup too. If you think about they're fried, or baked potatoes with oil& salt. They're similar to fries.
they are amazing! i had a friend from canada a couple years ago show them to me and i have been trying to find some ever since! maybe a trip to cub is in order lol
If you think Ketchup flavored chips are weird, take a trip to Europe and walk through their chip aisle! Oh, and get your Canadian friends to track down some fries with gravy...yummmmmmmmm

Ketchup and potatoes go well together. now in holland I had french fries and mayonnaise, that was great. (not usa mayo, but the good stuff.)
take a look at the tim tam.. then the milo is granulated chocolate/malted something.. or look at this [youtube]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9MQZX1nLOJ4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9MQZX1nLOJ4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/youtube] or [youtube]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/boQadANaPsY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/boQadANaPsY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/youtube] or [youtube]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kYR_EMJR7H0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kYR_EMJR7H0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/youtube] and like my avatar says or this picture....

those tim-tam slams must be incredible...the faces on the people in all of those videos looked orgasmic!
my friend from canada just thought i was insane because i asked him "what the hell are ketchup flavored potato chips" that country is backwards, i swear.
Ketchup and Catsup both are horrible. Disgusting. Only invented to cover up the taste of rotting meat.
After having lived in Scotland for a year and visiting the UK numerous times since I think I've finally figured out most of the food differences. There are the usual ones like chips, sauce, pies, and puddings. It never gets old telling people in England that one of my favourite breakfasts is biscuits and gravy. The look they give is hysterical :laugh:
you can get milo at cub and i saw tim tams somewhere don't remember where but those are tasty! and i have a jar or marmite somewhere you can have if you want it...that stuff is gross
This!!! Ketchup is nasty. I'd rather dip fries or chips in mayo :ugh: The Old Dutch Crunch in buffalo/blue cheese is ftw.
I like everything that has to do with tomatos, aside from ketchup. I made come chicken cacciatore not too long ago.
They remind me of the salt & vinegar chips, but much milder, with a hint of ketchup. But everybody's taste is different.
Tomato is the base of one of the mother sauces too... And in England I seem to recall them referring to ketchup as "red sauce". Also not really my thing.
I pounded tim tams like they were going out of style when I was down under!!! Damn they're tasty! I also became addicted to "twisties." Mmmm, I should have my brother ship me some tim tams and twisties. Didn't dig on the vegemite though. Not my style.
I think I had my first ketchup flavored potato chips about fifteen years ago at an icerace in Thunder Bay. They also had dill (known as dill pickle flavor in some spots now in the U.S.) and potatoes and gravy flavor (which were awesome, but they quit making them). Glad to see the U.S. got smart and decided to start making these here after smuggling hordes of bags across the border. A lady at a shop in T. Bay told me that it was pretty common for U.S. citizens to clear out their shelves and bring stuff back into MN. I had mustard flavored potato chips at the Maine Forest Rally one year... YUM! Now if we can just get a place that serves good ol' fashioned Canadian poutein in MN. French fries + gravy + loads of melted cheese = poutein. More common in eastern provinces, sold by street vendors like hot dogs. The perogies that they sell are smothered in butter, cheese, and bacon. Apparently, Canadians don't have cholesterol issues. Or better yet butter tarts!!!!!! Now THAT's a treat! On the smoking stuff... my wife smokes and got some Player's Lights because they didn't sell US cigarettes there. Light cigarettes in Canada aren't "light" so she says. Mountain Dew in Canada has no caffeine per a store clerk we talked to! Definite minuses about Canada. Jerry Winker
you do know you can get twisties anywhere over here..and the Tim Tams at Cost PLus world market on France or over there... did you ever drink the Bundaberg Ginger Beer?? you can get that there and bounties and Darrell Lea Licorice.. mmmmmm
What?! Twisties and Tim Tams are here? Oh boy, I'm gonna' have to make a special trip to find some! I don't make it to the grocery store very often. I sampled a couple different beers in AU and NZ, but I can't remember the names. :-/ All I know is that VB is crap.
ha ha ha.. vb is the poor mans champagne.... but cheap and rocks.. yeah twisties are at cub or rainbow or ANY grocery store... Ginger beer is the non-alcaholic beverage...
