man those are great, thanks for the reminder (agreed on no dip needed but couple that with a quality spicy guac and it's almost a meal)

they're like what the aimless Frito's always strived to be but had limited cultural reference points.

Fritos are good, dipsy doodles are better and you guys are all dumb.

MaxWebster · Post by **MaxWebster** » Mon Nov 28, 2022 10:11 am

had to look up what dipsy doodles are...

look D, you can't dress a Frito in fancy clothes and not call it a frito.

I need to make a trip to TJ’s.

I see Hatch chile I make an effort to attain it.

Oh man my fave TJ chocolate is in the “high in lead and cadmium” group.

That was a sad shopping trip. I don’t very often walk out of there with nothing chocolate-based. And I forgot to get more of those elote chips because I saw the umami flavored ones first.

I tried the elote chips. They are good and have a nice spice, although I’m not really a Fritos guy. Looking forward to trying the umami ones. I regularly put their umami powder on egg dishes.

YES!!! Best chips ever! I think it’d be insane to put any dip on this and cover the flavor. Got the Hatch Chili flakes, can’t wait to put that on some pizza. Also got the Smoked African blend, which is too similar to the Hatch, not sure how I’m going to use that yet, but it’s good.

I liked the Kettle brand street corn ones even better

Strawberry Rhubarb Hand Pies are like a 43 out of 10

rass · Post by **rass** » Mon Jun 12, 2023 12:38 pm

It's become obvious that their general flavors of the (month? season?) like elote or ube or the current chili crunch are trending a good year or two behind the local vendors at my town's farmer market, who I'm sure themselves are tracking something else. And maybe this has long been obvious but I pick up on food trends at the farmer's market myself, so...?

rass · Post by **rass** » Mon Jun 12, 2023 12:39 pm

(also, I love strawberry rhubarb pie and made my once a month or so trip yesterday and saw them but now regret not buying one)

2nd the garlic spread, pubes or no. Pair with smoked salmon + pickle on one of their Norwegian whole grain rye crackers.
