Potato Chip Poll

[Jeff7]

Kettle cooked, in lard, not vegetable oil.

Then you must not be eating good kettle chips

This. A proper kettle-cooked chip should feel like it's oozing with delicious salty oil when it's chewed. Just the slightest hint of browning, and a little bit translucent.

If you've never had these then you've never had a good BBQ chip

If I could find them at a store I could try them, but I don't think they're the only good bbq chips.

Kettle chips are dry overcooked garbage.

You're doing it wrong.

Yup. And with malt vinegar drizzled over...

*Sigh*... beautiful.

If i can find a good bag of kettle chips i could eat the whole bag in 1 sitting.

Can you say who for?

 

[bearxor]

Regular. I find the vast majority of kettle chips I've tried to be very hard where it borderlines on painful to eat. And I'm not going to go on a try and buy spree to work out which ones might be good. When it comes down to it, I'm just going to reach for good 'ok reliable ruffles.

 

[Charlie98]

Salt and Vinegar Kettle.

Those and the Black pepper kettle.

I don't always eat chips, but when I do, I prefer kettle chips.

 

[minendo]

Can you say who for?

Shearer's.

 

[lxskllr]

Shearer's.

I've had them before, but no firm opinion. They aren't as widely available here as some other brands.

 

[FelixDeCat]

Kettle is too crunchy and more greasy. I like regular.

I used to love buying NY Deli kettle chips in Manhattan. Though I haven't eaten them since Wise bought out the company.

EDIT: After some research, NY Deli chips were manufactured by Borden (parent company to Wise) and first appeared in 1986. The packages only started carrying the Wise label in the last decade.

Which manufacturer?

 

[ImpulsE69]

The Jalapeno Kettle..mmmmmm

 

[Crono]

Kettle cooked mesquite BBQ chips are better than practically anything.

These used to be my favorite, though other kettle brands are pretty good:

 

[styrafoam]

Which manufacturer?

Frito Lay.

 

[QueBert]

Poll needs Pringles, they're not regular chips, I love Kettle but I can easily destroy an entire canister of Pringles.

 

[Raincity]

I like them both but the end result is a gut full of grease.

 

[Crono]

Would Pringles even sell if they didn't come in cans?

 

[QueBert]

Would Pringles even sell if they didn't come in cans?

They're too fragile to come in anything else, hell even in a can you'll still get ones where a lot of the crisps are broke. But they taste gooood and nothing else tastes close to them. The Cheese 'Ummm's are great.
