Meat Chips

A long time ago I mentioned meat-flavored potato chips in a post. I did not elaborate. I promised I would in the future, and then I never did. How rude. I hope none of you have lost sleep wondering about the whos, whats, wheres, and mainly whys of meat-flavored chips.

Wonder.No.Longer


Ta-da:

A healthy, but by no means exhaustive, selection of meat-flavored chips.

Let's move in order from those I feel most comfortable with to those I tend to shy away from.

I am fairly comfortable with BBQ Rib flavored chips, although I would prefer if they just used the word "Barbecue" and left off the mention of "rib" altogether:


Then we've got our grilled beef flavor:



For those who prefer roasted beef to grilled beef, there's something for you too:



Doesn't the picture look delicious? Doesn't it make you feel like eating...a chip?



Maybe you're not red-meat eater, maybe you would prefer some nice turkey-breast chips (they also have chicken flavored chips, but I couldn't find those on this trip to the store):



And for the least health conscious, we've got my personal favorite (NOT), sausage chips:




Please don't think I am mocking Brazilian potato chips. The reason this post is so long in coming is that every time I buy the meat-flavored chips, before I can even take pictures of them, my kids wolf them down. I practically had to wrestle these bags out of their grubby little hands this morning. It wasn't pretty. I sent them away, almost in tears, with some much less exciting pretzels.

I should also mention here that Brazilians, in general, do not love chips the way Americans do. The chip section in the store takes up just a teeny little space and the biggest bag you can get is about 2X one of these snack-size bags. Maybe that's why they tend to be thinner than Americans.

Anyway, I've got to hide these bags before the kiddos get home or it will be a feeding frenzy. (Too late, Pedro just came up and noticed them on the couch)

Tchau.
