I really love Paqui ghost pepper chips, speaking of spicy snacks. I wonder why I haven’t gotten a bag in a while (maybe they’re expensive).

They look interesting (But sorry for the bad news at the bottom).
Are we talking spicy insane taste and no flavour, just heat, or can you actually enjoy the spice?
They were very spicy while also being pretty tasty! I had to take breaks because of the heat but it was hard cause I liked the flavour so much lol.

Now that I like - you need a flavour behind it otherwise I don’t see the point of eating it just for heat.
That’s good pacing by the way

I has “chips”.
Not eating them yet, I made a lovely lunch and quite frankly aren’t brave enough yet. I’ll update more when I’m ready.

I have unfettered access to takis anytime I want and I still don’t think I’ve ever had them / wanted to try them

Update - I still haven’t tried them yet! I will, but really I’m a bit scared. Plus winter is coming and that means good food and you know, are they good? Are they “food”?
the blue ones are not good imo, just above average heat. But they are the weirdest taki. The orange ones are ok they taste like hot fritos

I actually say some of those orange ones for sale when I was away last weekend, but the queue in the shop was far too long to wait to buy them.
However you have brought up another question… what’s a frito (outside of the I assume Spanish meaning of the word)?
fritos are particularly fat-saturated corn chips (aka crisps)
Tom can you get a chicharrón over there in england and/or france? I expect they have them in Spain but not sure

Sounds lovely and healthy! If I see them, I’ll add them to the list.
Haven’t seen it in either places but have eaten it in Spain. I lived in the North so as it’s a bit more regional I probably didn’t have the best version but I liked it.
In France and England you have more crackling/scratching type things, but not usually deep fried. In pubs in the UK you can get pork scratchings, which I do miss:

Around here at least the thing to do is/was(been a while since I tried and if this has been gentrified out yet) get the freshly prepared chicarrónes from one of the legit carnitas places. But I cant be eating that kind of stuff any more
Did they do the same trick they did here in Germany? Because here the health/nutritional score is always relative to other products in the same category. This leads to such amazing effects as adding tons of sugar to iced coffee in order to make sure it doesn’t get compared to other, actual coffee drinks but instead gets compared to soft drinks like coke which nets it a relatively good health score.
Also some frozen pizzas go with a rating of B (on scale of A to E) because they’re in the same category as some truly vile garbage.

I wondered what happened here! I definitely got them more recently than 9 months ago though… I probably last got them in september? Looks like it’s definitely true though. Very disappointing ;_;

I wonder if any of these alternatives could be found here. All I know of are potato chips, and I just finished a bag of Kettle habanero lime today at lunch lol.
Here is the other one we got:

I’m taking a guess, but deep fried animal skin could be a negative score!
