Krunchers! Jalapeno!!

Adam ate this on April 20, 2010

Ok. You are on spring break in Cancun right? and you and your friends are eating at some amazing Mexican restaurant enjoying all that our southern brothers have to offer when someone jokingly puts one of the raw jalapenos up to their mouth pretending they are going to bite it and everyone gasps……… and then laughter ensues. Harmless fun huh? Ok well now imagine that somehow that freshly picked jalapeno had fallen into a deep fryer with some batter on it earlier and that when you held it up to your mouth a rooster from the cock fighting ring in back of the restaurant comes flying out and startles you, causing you to drop said deep-fried fresh jalapeno into your mouth seeds and all. Then because of the excitement you bite into it. That, my friends, is the closest to describing what this snack tastes like in words. Somehow, in some magical way, these chips actually remind me of raw jalapenos. I feel like I can even taste the slight sweetness of the rind and then the heat of the seeds. They are magic chips. They are from another world. They are delicious.

Did you finish the whole thing?

Many many many bags before I wrote this review. And maybe even the actual bag because I don’t see if in my trash. I’m gonna Google what those are made out of real quick….

What kind of store did you find it at?

Luckily there is no trekking across town to find a bag of these. Any gas station worth their salt has these on hand all the time. Most of the time you can find big party bags of these at grocery stores also. Supply and demand. I demand that every store supplies these and some of them do. They listen to me. Sometimes.

Stand-alone snack or with something else?

Maybe it’s just because of my opening paragraph but I feel like a Pina Colada or Margarita of some kind would pair well with this. I generally go a little more high brow and pair it with a sleeve of little powdered donuts, teriyaki beef jerky, and some Mountain Dew. (check the twitter, I’m not kidding) But not everyone lives the high life like I do.

Sum up your experience eating this snack in one word.

Caliente!!

Best place to eat to this snack?

Beach snack for sure. You can soak up the sun and munch these all day. I often enjoy them in my windowless office while imagining I’m at a beach. I strip down to my boxers and cover my floor in sand and just kind of lay there on my office floor for hours eating these. I’m thinking about getting a coy pond installed. Not a lot of people come and visit me at my office strangely though. Maybe after the tanning bed comes I’ll have more friends…
