I got these from my cousin Tatianna while she was passing through London. What an awesome surprise! She and my cousin Jared (aka Leland aka "Light skin Fury") have always been super supportive of the Chipmack. Whether it was driving a few hours from San Diego to Hollywood to see my comedy shows, driving up on the holidays in traffic to spend time with all of us in a city 80 miles away, or taking the time to ship potato chips across the globe...it has all been super appreciated. Thanks so much you two!

PRAWN COCKTAIL :
Upon first bite, these are NOTHING what I expected taste like! I get a strong lemon-y, sweet acidic bite supported by a savory tomato essence with a subtly spicy finish. No hint of salty, briny, fishy, sea like tastes anywhere. Not even a little bit, but it works superbly! I see where they were going here. The played up the cocktail sauce flavors opposed to accurately re-creating a shrimp cocktail flavor. Smart move. It works!
PAPRIKA:
Upon first bite, I get a strong, dank, green type flavor. These taste like collard greens...with the ham hock still in it. No shit. Weird. They should've just named these "Granny's Greens Flavor" and called it a day. Not a bad chip, but nothing what I expected. If they called this flavor "Greens and Cornbread " they'd have nailed. But because they didn't, I'm taking off points. Damn, now I got that song in my head (I got beans, greens , potatoes, tomatoes...you name it!).
PRAWN COCKTAIL gets 4 outta 5 on the Chipmack scale. Clear winner!
PAPRIKA gets 2 outta 5 on the Chipmack scale.
