Today we will have a fun snack of some ‘Peppadew Potato
Chips’. This will only be just an appetizer before the main course of ‘Peppadew
Peppers. What is a Peppadew pepper? It is a trademarked pepper that originated
in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It looks like a cross between a cherry
tomato and a miniature red pepper. This pepper is sweet with a unique peppery
flavor. They are quit the buzz in food magazines and the food network. This
should be a interesting and fun adventure.
Ingredients:
My first duty in a review is to take a look at the
ingredient list. This package has a long
list of ingredients with a very troubling omission. Peppadew peppers is no
where to be found on this list. Peri-Peri peppers and ‘extractives of paprika’
are the only listed peppers. I am a little taken back on this puzzling fact. We
will move on.
Taste:
This is a familiar taste that we all love. Salty, crisp, and
with flavor that has you craving your next bite. This flavor is of tomato with
a slight hint of vinegar. There is a very faint pepper component that is
pleasurable. This reminds me of a barbecue flavored chip without the smoke.
These are great chips and the whole bag was polished off in a matter of
seconds.
Overall:
Was there an omission on the ingredient list? Peppadew
peppers are not listed on this bag. This still was a great bag of potato chips.
It was a good snack for the main course of Peppadew Peppers which will be
reviewed in the near future. Stay tuned.
I do like Peppadews.As a chip maybe not.
ReplyDeleteGreg, I just opened the jar of peppadews for the review. Wow, they are tasty. I just made some pimento cheese with them I am a little puzzled about the chips.
ReplyDeleteI like stuffing peppadews with cream cheese and throwing them on the smoker, with or without bacon. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteThree Dogs BBQ, Good luck this weekend. We will be at Elk Grove judging. I will be stuffing these peppers with something. They are good.
