Golden Fluff Potato Flutes Original Flavour

Yesterday we tried barbecue flavour Potato Flutes, today original flavour. Which basically means it tastes of nothing very much at all.

But nothing very much in a wonderfully tasty way. Deliciously nothingy. I liked this crispy snack a lot. Very nice indeed.

The reluctant taste testers were happy to polish off this 14g (half an ounce) bag in no time at all.

I'd like to applaud Golden Fluff for their lovely potato flutes. It's a great crispy snack and should be used more often. I don't think we have a native version of this style of snack. Golden Fluff snacks are made in the USA.

Golden Fluff Potato Flutes Barbecue Flavour

I really like Golden Fluff potato flutes. They have a great texture and very nice bite. I wan't sure that the flavour would please me because as you know, I'm not usually mad about barbecue asa flavour. But I was quite impressed at the gentleness of the barbecue in this case.

Dutch taste tester said she thought there wasn't enough flavour! Well, we all know you can't please all of the people all of the time.

You can just spot the speckles of barbecue flavour flavour dust.

Golden Fluff Potato Flutes Honey Barbecue Flavor

Another kosher snack for the reluctant taste testers to try. Another tiny 14g packet containing only 60 calories and 3g of fat.

We had already tried the Ketchup flavour, and enjoyed that, and the Onion Garlic flavour, which wasn't bad either. But I'm not sure that the reluctant taste testers and I were massively impressed with this Honey Barbecue flavour.

Yes, the whole bag was eaten up in no time at all, but you don't get many potato flutes in the average 14g packet. I mean, check out the photograph. That's all you get.

The flavour was a bit nothing. Which is a pity. But there you go. I guess not all your crispy snacks can be as good as the one you like best. Which so far, for me, is the ketchup flavour.

Ooh this is a tiny packet of crisps. 14g is a lot less than you might think, but I always reckon a small packet is good to try if you can. No point in trying a massive packet and hating it. Although we have tried Golden Fluff Ketchup flavour with was pretty good so I had high hopes for this flavour.

A gentle oniony/garlicky flavour and a nice crunch. This is a very pleasant crispy snack. I've got to say, you really don't get many of these potato flutes for your 14g, but pretty good though!

Golden Fluff Potato Flutes Ketchup Flavour

When I pulled this packet of crispy snacks from the crisp storage basket I could not for the life of me remember where I bought them. But then, a clue on the back of the packet in the form of Hebrew text (which I cannot read) reminded me. Of course. It was from one of the local kosher delis.

Well, for a start one of the reluctant taste testers pointed out that Golden Fluff is a rather odd name for  a crispy snack company. It sounds more like an instant pudding. Perhaps lemon, or maybe butterscotch flavour? What do you think?

I looked at the Golden Fluff website and it seems they specialise in kosher products, including kosher for Passover; crispy snacks, drinks, sweets (candy) and kitchen products (even chopping boards). And perhaps they started with popcorn. In which case Golden Fluff isn't such a mad name.

Anyway, we've tried a couple of other snacks which were long and square like a chip (French fry) although hollow, so there must be some sort of machine or nozzle that just churns out these shapes. And they are rather good. Somehow it's a shape that makes for very moreish snacking.

We liked these a lot. You can't see from the packet photo but these flutes aren't as bright a yellow as many crispy snacks are. A bit of light brown in the colouring (trust me, this is a good thing) and a generous sprinkling of tomato ketchup yumminess makes for a very appetising look.

A light crunch, and a really good ketchup flavour, these proved pretty popular with the reluctant taste testers.

The packet tells us that these potato flutes contain No MSG, No Artificial Colors, and No Artificial Flavors. And 0g Trans Fat Per Serving. So... presumably no trans fats at all then? Hmmn... that's very oddly put isn't it? And here's another slightly weird thing, the ingredients list says Vegetable Oil (contains one or more of the following: Canola, Corn, Cottonseed, Safflower, Soybean or Sunflower). That seems strangely indecisive.

The packet also says Now please be nice and share this bag with others. Which I did.

I first tried this flute or fries style of crisp with Kubeti Mega Stix (which I was amazed to see were from Bulgaria), and then Zweifel Snacketti Fries Ketchup (from Switzerland) which were fabulous. This is not a bad addition to the flutes/fries/stix family.
