On the train, however, we ate a few bags of our favorite Sabor de Jamon ‘chips.’ The chips, either made by Ruffles or Lays or a local brand, are truly amazing. They taste like bacon. Really good bacon. Not overcooked bacon or turkey bacon or lean bacon, but good, thick bacon with lots of greasy fat. All in a chip.
The question is why hasn’t this flavor made it to the U.S? We love our bacon. We put bacon on burgers; we wrap steak in bacon; we love BLTs; we even wrap fruit and vegetables in bacon. Why doesn’t the U.S. have bacon chips? Ruffles and Lays make and distribute them in Spain, and they are the most common flavor of chips on the market; a scan of the grocery aisle proves this.
Those beef ads on the sides of the U.S. interstates have been highly successful: ‘Beef, it’s what for dinner.’ Chick-fil-a has done extremely well with the ironic ‘Eat More Beef’ slogan. It is time the U.S. adopts bacon chips. It’s for the country’s own good. We will be a happier people because of this explosion of flavor. I am currently a happier person because of my daily consumption of bacon chips.
