so the other day we were bored. i have been dying to watch a movie because i have gotten a bit sick of playing mahjong. so we bought some snacks including: carambar (yummy fruity tootsie roll type things... but not quite), gummy smurfs and a 6 pack of chips so we can try some of the weird euro flavors. the 6 pack had 3 flavours. 2 bags of each.
we then proceeded to go to the cyber cafe just down the street from our apartment to watch the music man off of you tube. it was the version with matthiew broderick and kirsten chenoweth. it was pretty good but probably not nearly as good as the original. it's okay though.
so as were were watching the movie we had some of the chips. the first flavour we tried was the kebab bqq chips. they were pretty good...the next flavour was chorizo..which is a really spicy, greasy sausage. i didn't like that one so much.
later that night when we got home we weren't terribly hungry, and moreso we were tired and too lazy to make something so we pulled out the last flavour. Rotisserie Chicken. Now...there are many times when abroad that the statement "it tastes like chicken" is used. however this usually isn't really the case. in fact i have rarely found anthing, aside from chicken, that actually TASTES like chicken. well look no further! boy oh boy! they tasted EXACTLY LIKE CHICKEN! the only thing i had to convince me otherwise was the crunch of the chip in my mouth and the absence of greasy bones! it was quite literally one of the most blissful moments of my life. :]
they also have a rather divine cream and onion chip here...it does not, however, taste like chicken.

I've been wanting to try some of these werid flavored chips they have here and I think I just might now. I'll have to look for this Rotissorie Chicken flavor. When we first got here, I bought a bag of chips. I stuck with the good old safe "salt and vinegar" though. It was mighty tasty and rightfully so, since it cost me 7 swiss francs (about $7)!!! I didn't realize it until I got home.
yikes! thats alot of money for some chips! still i suppose it really isn't much worse than here....we pay 5 or 6 dollars for a big bag. so...it doesn't happen very often. but they are REALLY GOOD! i must reinforce the cream and onion opinion....AMAZING!!!! best i've ever had. :)
way to go for the salt and vinegar. YES! some people (who shall remain nameless, despite their comment being directly above mine...) don't much care for the finer things in life, like salt and vinegar chips.
Okay, finally got around to checking to see if you responded to my comment. Very happy you did :) And I must clarify, that's 7 francs for a bag not much bigger than the ones you get with your Subway sandwich!! Salt and vinegar, it is an acquired taste...but oh so YUMMY once acquired!
Oh yeah, and we went to Paris a couple weeks ago. I saw that it was quite far from Vichy, so please don't hate us for not calling you.
yeah that's definitely a taste i wouldn't want to acquire. pass the sour cream and onion please! :] and you are forgiven...don't worry...
