Cape Cod Kettle Cooked Potato Chips...Sweet & Spicy Jalapeno. (I'm getting caught up on this review based on notes from October 2016). They don't have much of a scent. For a kettle cooked chip they aren't overly greasy but still provide a good crunch. They offer a great hot pepper (jalapeno) heat without getting all mountain dew extreme and stuff, they're hot but not too spicy. I didn't really taste the sweet part of their given name. When I breached the 1/4 bag mark I started to find the odd chip that has
an initial sweetness to them..but they were few and far between, this
was kind of a bummer as the sweetness was a nice change of pace. They don't really bring anything new to the jalapeno chip game but they more than hold their ground in that family. If you're looking for a standard jalapeno chip you'll be happy with this sack of flavoured salted potato slices...if you're hoping for something new and exciting..just keep walking.
Since I have further notes from 2016 I might as well make this a twofer (November 22, 2016 to be exact). Boulder Canyon Red Wine Vinegar Hand Made Style (what exactly does "style" mean? They're in the kettle cooked family [I'm pretty sure these chips have seen a kettle during their manufacturing process]) Potato Chips. They smell like, you guessed it, potato chips!! I tossed one into my mouth and, say what? Raspberry vinaigrette? They're on the light side of the (assuming) kettle cooked spectrum (pretty big gap between these and the brownness of Covered Bridge) but these babies still pack an adequate crunch. They weren't exactly what I was expecting, there's some tartness but it's pretty faint for this tart enthusiast. They're a unique flavour, at least from my chip experiences. Good on ya Boulder Creek. They're a summery flavour (which makes perfect sense to post about them in the middle of winter when it's -25°C or colder outside [locally]). The flavour is distributed fairly evenly throughout the bag..with the odd super flavoured chip. (My notes didn't really summarize my impression but based on the above, I'd say grab yourself a bag).
Back in 2009/2010 there was a band from Columbus, Ohio that went by the name of New Creases. They played fantastic pop punk with emphasis on punk..and fantastic. New Creases were a 3 piece with dual (66% Mickey, 33% Troy..give or take..with nice harmonies) vocalists. They put out a couple of 7"s a split with It Good and contributed to Traffic Street's Dangerous Intersections VII..one of their songs was also turned into an absolutely infectious dance song put out by Grandfather Awesome. Twas a greatly enjoyable band, I wish they had put a full length but I believe Mickey blew her voice out and the band dissolved when she was no longer able to continue singing..or something to that tone (super bummer). A while back I read an interview of Nervosas in Razorcake, which it turns out Mickey was playing in. Through writing this paragraph and trying to figure out exactly when the Razorcake interview was, I found out that Mickey is now in a power pop band (back playing guitar and singing) called The Missed that put out a demo last July, tight. I just realized what a resource discogs is for tracking down new bands people, time to go see what Troy and Bobby form New Creases have been up to.
Stay hydrated,
