How do crisps get their flavour?
thought of this last night while having a pack of kettle's crisps.
Answers:
1. Mainly the seasonings that are sprinkled on top of the crisp, usually applied out of the fryer so they will stick to the crisp.
2. A small contributor is the type of oil used. Crisp will retain some of the oil. If you have a strong oil, you will taste it on the chip. However, post manufacturers try to use a neutral tasting oil so it doesn't interfere with the seasoning applied to the chip.

Cant beat kettle chips.
Just good Old potato flavour.
the flavour is sprayed on when the crisps are cooked,
Special little oompa loompas paint it on with tiny little paintbrushes.
Think of them the next time you have a bag of crisps!!
Enjoyed them, I take it? The flavor of a crisp or potato chip, in my opinion, is completely dependent mainly on two major factors; the type of potato and the kind of oil used for frying. I think they cut those Kettle Chips a bit thicker than some of the others, too. You may have noticed cooking oils have different flavors. Peanut oil lends a particularly good taste to things that are fried in it. Olive oil also has a strong flavor, though not appropriate for chips. On the other hand, It is good for roasting red skins. So, puff, puff, enjoy smelling the roses and deep thoughts over crisps.
Plain crisps get the flavour from the cooking oil and salt
THE best crisps & chips are fried in BEEF DRIPPING
Think of good old fashioned Smiths crisps(although they are still about)the ones with the little blue bag.Crisps are flavoured with some sort of powered coating among a lot of other crap.Have you ever tried making your own crisps?
Dried flavourings, too much salt and lots of additives - but I do like a salt and vinegar crisp every now and then and have a confession to make. I am rather addicted to Doritos Tangy Cheese! Ah, well, in moderation .......
