Don't be too disappointed if your first attempts result in gravy that tastes like liquid flour or just salt or flour and salt. My grandma made amazing gravy with this method and I've been doing it for years and it still doesn't come out 100% of the time.

Just remember to taste as you go.

E: If you can't get duck drippings to make delicious duck gravy, at least try finding some place that serves duck fat fries and use those for your poo teen

E2: if you decide to hand-cut your own fries like we do, par-boil for about 10 minutes before frying and pat them dry before you put them in the oil. The oil needs to be hot af too.

Look at you making gravy like a sucker when these exist.

One of the new ones is Parmesan Truffle or something like that. I want to try those because, really, how badly can you gently caress up parmesan truffle potato chips.

Haven't seen those around. I did see Reuben Sandwich a few days ago, and I gotta admit that I'm curious.

Lay's Chicken & Waffles were way better than they should've been.

The gyro ones are actually pretty decent and taste like gyro meat seasoning + tzatziki. Also, they're kettle chips, so far better than regular Lays by default.

The biscuits and gravy ones suck like I expected them to, both because they're regular Lays and they barely taste like anything. I haven't tried the others.

I just hope these new flavors don't make the wasabi ginger Lay's go away, they're probably my favorite chips after the elusive Herr's cheddar horseradish. Snacks that clear out your sinuses are the best snacks.

If you make a red velvet cake the old-fashioned way using beet juice instead of red food dye, then you typically do add some citrus or vinegar to maintain a positive pH and keep it from browning in the oven. So while it's not unheard of to cut vinegar into cake, it is weird. Must try.

I haven't had these since I lived in Virginia so I looked them up to see if I could get them shipped. Turns out you can get them much cheaper directly from UTZ then you can from Amazon.

Now the AFP part: I love spicy pork rinds. Locally, though, I can only find plain or BBQ, both of which are abominations. The UTZ website has both spicy pork rinds and spicy pork cracklins. They look exactly the same in the pictures, packaging aside. Does anyone know what the difference is?

I just picked them up at a gas station in southern OH and they're really, really good. You can taste every component of the reuben, including the caraway in the rye.

I also snagged the truffle-fry and gyro varieties. (They were out of biscuits-and-gravy, boo.)

I think cracklins are 'bite sized' / smaller.

If you want spicy rinds go down to the latin market and pick up some chicharrones with chile. Bonus points if they're one of the ones that fry their own.

I think I caught a glimpse of shrimp flavored chips in one of my town's supermarkets, on the imported things aisle. But I don't remember the brand. Are shrimp flavored chips even good? I'm afraid of buying something expensive that tastes like poo poo.

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.
These aren't seafood flavored, it's actually seasoned with popular seafood seasoning "old Bay"

But the Japanese make some pretty tasty prawn crackers.

I think they're great, but the taste can be a little bizarre the first time you have them.

They're one of the standard flavors in England ("prawn cocktail"), but since I'm not big into shrimp I've never tried them. If you buy an assorted multipack, it will usually be plain (called "ready salted", because there's at least one nostalgia-based brand that comes with a separate salt packet you shake in), cheese & onion, salt & vinegar, and prawn cocktail.

I just go straight for the chicken or bacon flavor when I'm in the UK. I just looked it up on Wikipedia, and apparently Walkers (same company as Lay's) chicken chips are vegetarian. This bothers me.

If they're like the crab chips then they taste like old bay / other seafood seasoning, salty and spicy. If they're bright pink and puffed then they taste like shrimps a little, either way they're pretty good imo

It's not the "standard" here but white gravy is a thing, and is made with cream and has chunks of sausage in it. It's not sweet, is actually pretty good on biscuits if properly done.

Yeah, I've just done some googling and worked out that 'white gravy' is bechamel sauce essentially and that in America many sauces are called gravy. In the UK only brown gravy is called gravy which is why it looked so odd to me and biscuits look just like scones so it makes me think 'sweet'.
