SE Grocers Prestige Garlic Parmesan Kettle Chips

SE Grocers Prestige Garlic Parmesan Kettle Chips

I have been impressed with the kettle chip offerings from SE Grocers...ie Winn Dixie and related family of stores. They are usually a great bang for the buck and the flavors are usually good. This bag is sort of an exception. Although they don't taste bad, the label says a "hint" of garlic and Parmesan flavor. I don't believe I could even identify what I was eating as having a "hint" of real garlic and parm. There was a hint of seasoning...but not enought to really even say there was much more than salt on them and something else. They should up the garlic and parm flavors by a good margin. Then we would be talking good chip....these were kinda boring. Not bad, just nothing really exciting. I would give them a 2.5 on a 5...but I wont buy them again in the "hint of" version.

Doritos Blaze

Now I like Doritos...always have. Most Doritos have a bit of sweetness in their seasoning. This one is different. It is not overly sweet, paprika heavy or too salty. Those are the main things that make a Doritos chip sort of taste like one. These guys are corn flavored. The heat is about like the super spicy Doritos chips of other flavors...ie my heat level is way over this stuff. But as far as taste they are not bad. They just don't taste like your normal Doritos. What you find flavor wise is a medium salty, not so sweet, chili with a hint of paprika flavor with a hint of onion and am guessing the pepper is a Cayenne...not really strong, but it has some heat. These chips would be a with food and not overly interfere with what you are eating. I would rate them a 3.75.....not bad...and I would purchase again.
