Man I love potatoes, I really do. Some people claim to love potatoes
but they just like getting them and frying them up or baking them
and covering them in sauces or ketchup or something. Me I could
eat a baked potato plan; fries with nothing, I just love the taste
of lone potato. The great thing about chips is it's a great way
to enjoy potatoes and a great way to get all the salt I need in
my diet (I have low blood pressure).
This also leads me the fact that I really like PEI, not just
because the fact that they're the potato capital here in Canada.
It's a nice place to visit. So while visiting PEI I figured I
couldn't wear the name Candy Critic without trying a bag of PEI
chips. Or at least I think they are.
You see after reading the bag I realised that these are in fact
packaged in PEI but there's nothing on the bag that totally implies
that the potatoes inside are locally grown. I was under the impression
that they might be fresher because of the rustic design of the
bag and my ability to believe anything that's thrown my direction.
What I found was a little disappointing. Really these just taste
like your average bag of chips. They're not even a little fancy
or kettle baked. It's not that they say that they should be or
anything, but I think it's implied. I would have been much happier
with pot of boiled new potatoes.
