I admit it: I love potato chips. My idea of guilty pleasure is potato chips and and a dry sparkling wine. No, it doesn't have to be Champagne, although I remember an assistant winemaker at Domaine Mumm many years ago who took his bubbly with popcorn. The wondrous food writer MFK Fisher loved potato chips.
Lay's has released their summer blast of international flavors, and the first one I tried was Chinese Szechuan Chicken.
I was shocked. They're good. The main things that come at the tongue, besides salt, are toasted sesame and pepper. I think I may need to dig out a dry riesling.
These are limited release – grab 'em when you see 'em.
