COOKED CRISPS
The tried and true cheese
and onion combination
strikes again in a packet
of guilty pleasure. The
definitive sharpness of
cheddar and the tang
of chives are in full force,

the boldness. The risk of
overindulging is very real.

AVOCADO OIL, MALT
VINEGAR & SEA SALT
KETTLE COOKED
POTATO CHIPS
Rare is the salt-and-vinegar
chip that doesn’t overdo the
sodium factor. Cooking
these in avocado oil imparts
a mild butteriness that
complements the sweet-
sour flavour of malt vinegar,
and the salt level is spot-on.
Bonus points for crinkle cut.
$7.90 for 149.1gm.
