Different Cultures – Different Chips

Though different cultures and people worldwide eat a variety of different foods, there’s at least one thing we all have in common – potato chips. As Vicki Santillano of Divine Caroline states, “we think of potato chips as being quintessentially American, [but] they’re a popular snack in countries all over the world.” The different flavors, however, may not be quite what you expect. Here are a few of the unique favors from around the world:

1. Fries ‘n Gravy, Canada

2. Wasabi Beef, Japan

 

3. Mango Flavor, China

4. New Yorker’s Street Cheese Dog, Japan

 

5. Spanish Chicken Paella, UK

6. Lime ‘n’ Masala Masti, India 



Slowly but surely, the U.S. is catching up with our foreign snack-food counterparts and creating fun, unique flavors to excite our taste buds! What is your favorite chip flavor from your country? Let us know!
