Things I Love

[Valfar]

No ____, but it's not the same chips.

Sure is, completely the same experience..just not with Tostitos.

 

[Maglor]

Sure is, completely the same experience..just not with Tostitos.

If you can link me up to the same chips as they have at Mexican resturants, I'll be pleased as punch.


But I really don't think that these chips:

Are the same as these chips:

I've made Nacho's in the oven with store bought Tortilla's (not Tostitos) and they are not the same.

 

[mr.thrifty]

That's because their deep fried.... I've made tons when I was a cook...

 

[Maglor]

Ha! I knew there was a difference!

Deep fried chips > oven baked chips.

 

[Valfar]

They're ____ing deep fried at the factory parney!! NOT OVEN BAKED!!! I JUST WARM THEM UP IN THE OVEN AND FFS! YOU COULD EVEN DIP EM IN DA ____ING FRYER YA?., straight out of the bag they taste like resturant style except a little less greasy and obviously not warm from the deep fry...

Thrift is right though, they cook them up in a deep fryer at resturants and at the factory where they are made for store bought.The ones i get don't look like Maglors pic of them, Que Pasa have various types of chips out there.

I still stand by my word, Tostitos are like Mandarin buffett of Chinese food..not authentic.

 

[Maglor]

...obviously not warm from the deep fry...

Thrift is right though, they cook them up in a deep fryer at resturants

This is correct.



Also, I love Americanized Chinese food. It's not authentic, but that doesn't mean it's not good in it's own right.

 

[Valfar]

and at the factory where they are made for store bought.The ones i get don't look like Maglors pic of them, Que Pasa have various types of chips out there.

And so is this!!, you would know if they are baked with store bought, it would say on the bag..i don't buy baked.

Of course Tostitos aren't the same. They aren't supposed to be.

 

[Valfar]

My point to Maglor is that store bought chips are deep fried too(unless it clearly states they are a baked alternative). So, the ones i infact do buy!..taste pretty much like cold deep fried.. resturant style..___klalanina niney fives...tortilla chips.

I'm clearly off my rocker tonight, night shift will do that.

Food fight!!!!

And it's Hint of Lime Tostitos WITH MSG - FTW!






...'cause Ween & I said so...

Yes I understand your point. The chips that say "baked" on them are nasty. I think we can all agree on that. I was only referring to the reheating process. When it comes to that:

Deep Fried > Oven Baked.

Yea, you can do that at home too..its called a oven.

I knew something was off about that statement and Thrifty pointed it out for me.


Unless you own a deep fryer you can't perfectly replicate that experience at home.

 

[Maglor]

And I still maintain that these chips:

(^^^These are supposedly Que Pasas.)



Are not the same as these chips:

and not just because of how they are prepared.

The ones i get don't look like Maglors pic of them, Que Pasa have various types of chips out there.

I would like to hear more about this though. Could you link me up to the ones you buy?

If you can link me up to the same chips as they have at Mexican resturants, I'll be pleased as punch.

I love MSG, flavor enhancer of the gods.

 

[mr.thrifty]

A couple routes you can take.... get some flour tortillas from the store, cut them in fourths and deep fry...or make some flour tortillas from scratch yourself and deep fry them....

 

[Maglor]

^^^ Well that's never gonna happen.

I'll stick to enjoying the free chips at Mexican restaurants.

I love MSG, flavor enhancer of the gods.

There is something to be said for that.

Valfar talks about Tostitos and Mandarin buffet as if they have no value because they are less authentic. But sometimes, something just tastes good. And lets face it MSG was designed to make stuff taste good.

 

[AllisonAmy]

I don't even remotely think of Hint of Lime Tostitos as Mexican food...I just like 'em

 

[The Ringer]

 

[devilof76]

Hint of Lime Tostitos make me think of drinking tequila.

And Yes, I f$#%ing love tequila.

 

[The Ween]

I don't care for waffle house. At least the one near me. I prefer Bob Evans for breakfast food.
