Chips from Spain: Jamon, Barbacoa, and More Flavors
The theme of my trip to Spain: even when I wasn't trying to eat jamon, I was probably eating jamon. Oops? Another example: potato chips. While roaming the corner grocery stores of Madrid, it was fun to see all the meat-centric flavors on the chips wall. Jamon Ruffles, barbacoa Fritos and cheeseburger Lay's. There were "vegetarian" options too.Our Favorite British and Irish Crisps, Candies, and Other Snacks
You have to hand it to the British Isles—they really appreciate their snacks. St. Paddy's had us thinking about McVitie's Hobnobs and Tayto's cheese and onion crisps, which reminded us of all the British snacky foods as well. Here are 11 of our favorite munchable treats from across the pond.General Tso's Chips from Target: Wait, What?
While shopping at Target this week, one item caught my eye: the General Tso's potato chips. Take the flavor of a Chinese-American favorite and roll it into a chip—how does this rank among Things That Taste Like Other Things?Zapp's Voodoo Chips Are Awesome
I've gone on record stating that I don't like kettle-style chips, but that was before I had Zapp's, a regional brand available throughout Louisiana.* Their regular flavor are thick-cut, extra crunchy, and very light blond in color, as all good chips should be, but it's their specialty flavors that really shine.The Food Lab: Extra-Crunchy Homemade Potato Chips
Having been raised on thin, crisp, pale yellow, super-salty Wise brand chips (remember when there used to be a riddle on every bag?), that's my image of how a chip should look and taste. On the other hand, kettle chips do have one great thing to offer: crunch. Could I come up with a recipe that combines the best of both worlds?Confirmed: The New Sun Chips Compostable Bag Is Crazy Loud
There's been a lot of talk lately about the Sun Chips compostable bag—"the world's first 100% compostable chip package," the bag clarifies. Also, quite possibly the world's loudest. In a Wall Street Journal piece, the sound was compared to a revving motorcycle, glass breaking, and a jet cockpit. We wanted to get our ears blasted, so Leah went out and grabbed us a bag. Watch the video to see what we mean! But maybe not in a library.Taste Test: Kettle-Cooked Potato Chips
Even at their worst, kettle chips are a near-perfect snack. It's hard to go wrong with thin slices of potato fried to a crisp and doused in salt, and kettle chips, which are fried in small batches to facilitate greater control of oil temperature to optimize texture and flavor. The kettle cooking approach takes these perfect guilty treats to a new level of, um, perfection and guilt. Perhaps because there's so much to like about potato chips in general, it was difficult to pick a favorite variety out of 17 brands, a task made harder by the wide variety of salt, texture, and flavor preferences among tasters. Find out which brands won for most classic, most crunchy, most lard-filled, and more.Taste Test: Spicy Chips
Between the abundance of college football bowls and NFL games on television right now, who doesn't want to dive into a bag of tasty chips while watching? And what could heighten the salty perfection of chips better than a dash of spice.Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 57: Apple Crisp, Lard Potato Chips, and Chocolate
"We all tried not to eat more than 20 chips a day..." This week I found myself confronted by three foods I find utterly irresistible: Apple crisp, potato chips fried in lard, and really good chocolate. Do you share these weaknesses? Encountering any one part of this terrible-but-terrific trio would be cause for alarm in a given week. Encountering all three is, for me, the equivalent of a drug addict being inadvertently locked overnight in a pharmacy. It must be said that I did not seek any of the three out. I was not searching for lard chips or crisp or chocolate. All three of them just happened to fall into my path. I'll explain....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
