I'm surprised by the lack of bacon flavoured crisps over here. You can get bacon on everything, even salads but I can't find crisps flavoured with the stuff. I'd love some smokey bacon crisps and I'd quite possibly kill for some Frazzles.

Well, for $500, you can read up on the whys/wherefores:
The 2009-2014 Outlook for Bacon-Flavored Potato Chips in the United States [Paperback]

Although they allegedly exist here... http://www.taquitos.net/snacks.php?snack_code=1897

There's bacon flavored crackers, but it's just not the same...

Pringles, they've got a bacon flavour that's not to bad...that's about all I've seen...

But speaking of bacon, did find a bacon popcorn recipe that I'm going to give a go later, probably gross, but worth a shot...cook bacon and pop the corn in the fat, crumble bacon on top and sprinkle cheese and layer in a tray, in the oven for a few mins till cheese melts....eat until the heartburn of vomit gets you

I thought those looked a bit Canadian, so I googled. According to WikiPedia Lay's do Smoky Bacon, Roast Chicken etc up there, but not down here*.


* Possibly because the report you linked to found (pp. 111-117)** that your average redneck, when offered the crisps, screamed "OMG!!! Canadian Chips!!! They'll turn me into a Mexican!!!!"


** Though perhaps not, given that I made that up.

I love Bugles. Ate them all the time as a kid! They have sweet and salty ones out now! Very dangerous!

omg, that sounds good.. but melting cheese over popcorn? Won't it go flat?
Report on completion please!


Will have to look for some roast chix flavor next time up there too...

Was it the French label that gave it away?

Oh dear.. a new problem.. mmmmm

Bob

I have no idea...but I'm willing to give it a go and find out

If we have to go back to England I am going to set up a business exporting crisps, chocolate and clothes to you lot.

Order forms to follow shortly

Bob

We get bacon crisps over here and roast chicken.... Not a massive selection, but more than we find north of the border in the D.

I'm quite partial to snack mix - my current favourite is Cheez Its Double Cheese snack mix, yum!

PM the recipe, wouldja? Sounds like it could be a good party food too.
Speaking of, it's getting time for picnic potluck parties.. I think I've got 3 to get ready for, so must go browse the recipe thread.

You didn't want me to rush right into something as specialized as cooking, did you?!

thanks!
