Lay’s Southern Biscuits & Gravy Chips
When we found a bag of these on a recent road trip, we couldn’t resist. We knew these would be something to talk about on our long drive. And, sure enough, they were. We opened the bag immediately upon entering the car. We both grabbed a chip. Then, we nibbled the chip. Simultaneously, we both started laughing.
“Yep, they sorta taste like biscuits and gravy.”
and then…
“But, they’re wayyyyyyy too salty.”
(said in unison)
Sure, it’s not a great version of biscuits and gravy… it’s too “artificial flavoring” heavy to be great or even good. But, the taste is there. It’s the taste of a ridiculously (We can’t emphasis this enough. We mean RIDICULOUSLY.) salty white sausage biscuit gravy… with a touch of black pepper and all. For the biscuit portion, Lay’s throws in an artificial butter flavor that lingers unpleasantly just under the surface of the powerful gravy flavor.
Did we love them? No. Did we like them? Eh, maybe a little bit. (Ok, make that a really little bit.) But, we did seriously enjoy them in road trip conversation topic sort of way. We probably spent close to an hour nibbling one at random as we tried to decide whether or not we liked them.
(And, yes, we did finish the bag. We came to regret that decision later when we were too queasy to eat a real meal.)
These are some seriously fun chips to eat… once.
Would we buy them again? Probably not. We don’t buy potato chips that often. When we do, we’re drawn to some sort of spicy chip. If it’s not spicy, what’s the point? Enough salt to make you feel bloated for a week? Thanks, but, no. That’s no fun.
