These things are kind of legendary here in Canada. I first heard
of their appeal when an article I wrote about Cherry Blossoms
had an article by the Prime Ministers wife was bellow mine all
about how much she loved these things. I started to ask around
and I found that the folks on the West Coast really love these
things and it's one of the great hidden treats of Western Canada.
So the question, is it worth all the hype?
It's not that I've never had Dill Pickle chips in my life before,
in fact I've had several different kinds but I can say that these
may in fact be the best I've had. First of all the flavour isn't
too strong but it's also not too weak. I often find dill pickle
chips are super sour just because it creates the effect of a sour
pickle, but I often find the sour isn't the same and it just ruins
the flavour. These although powerful enough still have a great
flavour.
On that note, the flavour of these is great. I'm not sure if
it tastes anything like a real pickle (I don't have one with me
to compare) but that unmistakable pickle chip flavour is ok. I
guess my only complaint is that the chips could be a little higher
quality. They're not bad and not the worst I've had by a long
shot, but I've had better.
