I'm sitting on an airplane right now, snacking away. What else is there to do? Thus it seems fitting to post about one of my more recent snack food finds these days, plantain chips, from Turbana.
I think this is the only product they make, available in a slew of flavors. They are all fairly starchy like a potato chip, but have a slightly more interesting texture and flavor.
- Chili Lime: The lime flavor is interesting, but I don’t particularly like it. I don’t really get much chili flavor, and I wonder how they compare to the plain lime or plain chili flavors they also make. I want to like these, but don’t due to the strange lime. Perhaps I needed a margarita or guac with these …
- Lightly salted: Salty, starchy. Not particularly great, but an interesting cross between a potato chip and a banana chip. ] [ More interesting than a standard potato chip, good when craving some salt. ] [ Not that salty, not that interesting, good dipped in stuff … like salsa or peanut butter ] [ I really like these dipped in peanut butter, sorta like the classic combo of bananas and peanut butter, in an easy snackable format ]
- Sweet: Definitely sweet. Almost too sweet. You can taste the plantain though. [ Sweetness definitely strange, not a huge fan ] [ Very sweet, also good with peanut butter, but the salty ones were a better match with that ] [ Very sweet, seems strange to think of them as a chip since they are so sweet, but I enjoy them more as a dessert. ]
