Among the things I won’t be missing upon leaving Thailand:
I know there must be a struggle in the potato chip industry to be on the cutting edge of new flavors but this one blew me away: Seafood Mayonnaise. Thailand is no stranger to seafood flavored chips but this one just seemed ludicrous. Grilled Salmon Chips seem okay because at least people eat Grilled Salmon, but where is this poor seaside community that only has mayo to mix with their seafood? Alabama?
Ends up it’s in France, as indicated by the Eiffel Tower standing on the packaging, right behind the “Master Chef Guaranteed” seal.
The real question is why the hell did I buy the chips? I guess the answer is that I needed to know the answer to another question: what do they taste like?
The answer is, they taste somewhere between BBQ and Sour Cream and Onion, though this still doesn’t fully capture the true flavors of this Master Chef chip. What is for sure is that if I did a blind taste test and had to guess the flavor, never in a million years would I have thought, Hmmm…..tastes like Seafood Mayonnaise!
