ajzepp Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 When I was at the store today, I picked up some Cape Cod kettle cooked Parmesean Garlic chips...eating a few as we speak...so far, pretty tasty. Not as good as lays kettle sea salt/vinegar, but tasty.
/dev/null Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Good ol' Erie (okay, Waterford, but it's close) chips. Love the Salt and Vinegar ones. Maybe this 4th of July I'll order some online Troyer Farms chips and Smiths Hot Dogs. Hmmm, now that I think about I wonder if there's enough time to order a box of Pulakos chocolates for Valentines Day.
Bullpen Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Plenty have mentioned kettle cooked chips. If by kettle cooked you mean those chips that don't easily break and can shatter the roof of your mouth, or inflict a puncture wound if a shard snags you then I hates kettle chips. Oh fer cryin out loud Nancy! Just stick to scalloped potatoes then! I like Hartley's Chips (I think they're made in northern PA.) Whenever I come home, my dad is always stocked up on the Hartley's and Bison chip dip. Troyer Farms are good too, the salt and vinegar ones are great!

NoSaint Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 More regional to the south but anyone try Zapps? I'm a fan. I dunno about favorite but pretty good.
Mark Vader Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Dang, I've never seen anything like sour cream and bacon lol...sounds good though! Ruffles had a flavor like that in the early 80's.
ajzepp Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Ruffles had a flavor like that in the early 80's. Did they really? That reminds me, back in the 80s Doritos had a sour cream and onion flavor and I was hooked on those things. The nacho cheese ones have always been a favorite, but their sour cream/onion ones came in a green bag and I used to pound those things man. I don't know why they got rid of them
R. Rich Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Maybe this 4th of July I'll order some online Troyer Farms chips and Smiths Hot Dogs. Hmmm, now that I think about I wonder if there's enough time to order a box of Pulakos chocolates for Valentines Day. I picked up some Smith's hot dogs one of the last times I was in Erie when I went to the new Fuhrman's Cider Mill on upper Peach St. I did know that Troyer Farms were available online from their site, but I didn't know 'bout Pulakos. I don't often go there, but I do like their chocolate bars w/ almonds. Plus, they're just 'cross the street from Mighty Fine Donuts, and I really like those (the plain ones go great w/ Fuhrman's cider!!).
BuffaloBill Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Oh fer cryin out loud Nancy! Just stick to scalloped potatoes then! Good suggestion especially since softer foods are better for someone of an advanced age.
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Wasn't Troyer farms the one that had the retarded looking fellow with a wide brim hat on carrying a bushel of potatoes on the bag? I hated those. Lays classic for me-thin, greasy and salty- the way a chip should be.

sullim4 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I enjoy Tim's chips, the recently discontinued cracked peppercorn was great, no clue why they dumped it. I'd say my favorite now is the Sweet Maui Onion.
NWPABillsfan Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Back a few years ago a company out of Hanover Pa bought The Troyers chip plant. Saying they would not close it down. Will guess what as of I believe the end of March the Waterford plant is closing,They will not be making chip there any more.Put over 100 people out of work.So I guess it you like thier chips you better buy up a few bags for the future.
Bullpen Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Just get the man nice soft foods like Gummy Bears, Candy Corns (with the "sharp" points shaved off) and scallopped potatoes.
Beerball Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Just get the man nice soft foods like Gummy Bears, Candy Corns (with the "sharp" points shaved off) and scallopped potatoes. Scalloped potatoes rank just below tots on the under-appreciated potato variety scale.
Bullpen Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Scalloped potatoes rank just below tots on the under-appreciated potato variety scale. Where do you fall on "cold potatoes" as you might find in German Potato Salad or Uhmerican Potato Salad?
Beerball Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Where do you fall on "cold potatoes" as you might find in German Potato Salad or Uhmerican Potato Salad? German potato salad can be eaten warm or cold and it is sehr gut in my book. Matter of fact I'd put it above tots, but below au gratin (and not the au gratin you get at a Texas BBQ joint...potatoes and velveeta don't mean au gratin).
