Old Dutch Foods

When I visit other countries, one thing I love to do is try their unique flavors of potato chips.  Australia tends to "win" in this category, but, I enjoy this hobby wherever I go, even if it isn't that far away, like, to Canada, the home of Old Dutch Foods.

Old Dutch Foods is snack maker of chips, dips, salsas, and other party snacks.  They also acquired Humpty Dumpty at some point, if you are familiar with that brand.

The Old Dutch product line is pretty extensive, with everything from classic or ridge or dutch crunch style chips to tortillas, corn puffs, popcorn twists, even bac'n puffs (e.g. pork rinds).  But I went straight for the classic potato crisps ... in the most interesting flavor of all: ketchup.

Ketchup Potato Crisps.

"Our ketchup chip is award winning. Old Dutch won Eat North's Canadian Best Ketchup Chip because of it’s outstanding flavour and crunch. We proudly accept this award on behalf of our great customers!"

Oh wow, these are strange.  And fascinatingly good.  But oh so strange.  So very strange.

Yes, they really are ketchup chips.  They taste, remarkably, like ketchup.  Very strong ketchup.  You can't deny it.

The chips themselves are thin style, crispy, and well coated.  Fine chips.

I couldn't decide if I liked these or not, but, I certainly found them novel.
