American Tries WEIRD Australian Crisps for the First Time! *people eat these!?*

[@amazonian4789]

Just to start with in Australia we don’t have crisps we got chips chips and chips

[@Nanonic001]

The soap taste is from the coriander/cilantro. Some people have a gene that means it tastes that way.

[@vickya8653]

🙋‍♀️

[@erinmccabe1984]

Yep totally right as I did learn about exactly that in my genetics class at university. I love coriander but so many it's soap. So weird but in this context hilarious 😂 😃 sorry

[@rouhag3490]

Heh I have the same gene but 90% of the time I can tolerate/am used to the soapy bitterness. Meanwhile Brussel sprouts 🤢

[@waterpolowizard]

Good pick. I was wondering why they would taste soapy, but that makes total sense

[@leoniewindsor7881]

Came here to say this, crazy how common it is.

[@Ultram69]

They missed out on the sweet chilli and sour cream. They're great too... Can't believe they forgot the Burger Rings and Cheezils.

Red rock deli honey soy chicken chips are the best. Yes I'm an Aussie 🇦🇺. So for me these are called chips but also we have hot chips. If you're an Aussie you will understand! 😂😂❤❤cheer's 🍻

[@joelsmall8471]

Honey Soy Chicken is top red rock deli flavour

[@Keyrose-my3xr]

No. Sweet Chilli and sour cream❤. I can't believe they didnt send him this flavour.

[@shmick6079]

Yep, and even better by Kettle

[@_wmd_]

Lime and Black Pepper

[@sesameseedbar8853]

I'd have to have an argument between Sweet chilli and honey soy, but, I gotta say, Honey soy hits different. I'm biased towards salt and vinegar, but straight out flavour wise, honey soy has it in the bag.

[@danielleharrison7955]

jumpys is what my kids have in there lunch box for morning tea

[@kazbutler]

You should try Samboy chips from Australia. With the salt and vinegar ones, your lips will start to peel within 24 hours!

[@laurenhepp4681]

Those chips taste like soap to you because of the coriander (cilantro). Some people taste this herb differently and it tastes bad, like soap. Not everyone tastes this herb the same way.

[@TitanSummers]

I LOVE how the shape changes the flavor LOL.

Pom bear crisps in Europe and the UK 🤯

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

Lay's began in Tennessee in 1932, while Smith's was founded in London in 1920. Both companies were bought out by PepsiCo in the 80s/90s.

Balsamic vinegar is made from grape juice, seeds and stems squashed together and aged for years in a barrel. White wine vinegar is made from fermented wine. Balsamic is fantastic, I can't live without it!! 😀 (pronounced "bahl-sammik").

[@gamortie]

One good way to have balsamic is to get some high end bread - sourdough or pane di casa; some high grade extra virgin olive oil; and an Italian balsamic. Cut the bread to make it dippable, dip it in the oil and balsamic, and enjoy….😊

[@sunisbest1234]

The Italians are as particular in the process of making ballsamic as they are their wines. ( Only ever use white vinegar for cleaning now.😂 ) Balsamic is the best!!!! Mixed with soy sauce to dip Asian dumplings. 😋😋😋

[@georgecole3964]

Yay! Aussies represent !! I love the Dijon mustard and honey but the balsamic one are ALWAYS in my cupboard.

Top tier salt and vinegar is the Kettle brand. Salt and cider vinegar.

[@ryancashman8945]

The best chips flavour in Australia is "Light 'n' Tangy"

[@michaelcole-hamer607]

Rendang would definitely have coriander, so your genetics obviously have the soap gene lol 😆

[@christinespiliopoulos5379]

I love those

[@kellip9586]

Missing great flavours: Kettle Chips Chili, Smith’s chicken Smiths thins light and tangy, and Red Rocks Dijon Mustard and Honey.

Pretty certain this guys never really veered far from a western palette. He’s definitely the archetype of why Asian restaurants have to alter their menu

[@xymonau2468]

We used to have Red Seal tomato chips. They were to die for. But the small company closed. We have one tomato flavoured chip now but it's pretty ordinary.

[@melnichols71]

Cheese twisties should have been on your list to try, they are the best!!

[@MC-fv9no]

I can’t believe he didn’t taste Thins Light & Tangy!! It’s the flavour of my Aussie childhood 😂

[@mjb7015]

My favourite chip flavour is the Smith's double crunch cheesy garlic bread. Honey soy chicken is definitely one of the best, but the cheesy garlic bread is so delicious.

[@kellip9586]

Agree entirely The cheesy garlic bread are the best.

[@alexbrueton8503]

Are you one of those people that coriander tastes like soap? Might explain the detergent taste 😂

[@melissamcgrath68]

I’m addicted to the honey soy chicken. I get a party bag once a fortnight or if they’re on special I get 2 bags 😂❤

[@Hudson316]

Someone needs to send in more of the chefs selection red rock ones, there’s a caramelised onion and Angus beef one that’s really nice, an applebox smoked butter and sea salt one, and a chicken with garlic and sweet soy. (Poh was a runner up on like season 1 or 2 of master chef Australia aaaages ago and spun that off into a tv chef career) Then you’ve got the weird stuff that is fun for confusing people, like Camembert & Fig where the chip is kinda sweet but still tasty. I used to show up to D&D sessions with weird chip flavours trying to convince the other players to try them. Also Smiths aren’t quite the same as Lays/Walkers, I think. Pretty sure those here are Thins, but it’s close

[@eggy4152]

I love original lays , and honey soy and chicken red rock chips, I can sit down and eat our large size chip bag in 1 sit,they are that morish☀️👋💕🇦🇺.

[@solreaver83]

The chef special flavours aren't good at all. Ive hated them all. The original flavours in the smaller bags you got are great. Sadly you missed their S tier sweet chilli and sour cream. Damn they are the best, even better then honey chicken

[@aussiejohn5835]

I agree 👍 💯

[@dantem5228]

Chicken chips in between 2 buttered white slices of bread. Close to god tier!

[@aussiejohn5835]

[@SimesyBrakes]

That rendang stuff is a south-east Asian curry flavour...

[@gavingiant6900]

Smith's crisps are British crisps that are sold in Australia and owned by an American company (Pepsi). Lays are American that own Walkers crisps through a buyout, the two brand logos merged together and why they look similar (also owned by Pepsi). But originally Smith's crisps are a completely different brand/company to Lays because they started making/selling crisps before Lays was a brand/company, also both being older companies/brands than the Walkers crisps brand/company.

[@BlueSky-8888]

Australian here rending are the bomb one of my favourite your loss lol😂

[@MegaBumblebee666]

They have coriander/cilantro in them. There's a gene that if you have it coriander/cilantro will taste like soap.

[@Salfordian]

Smiths was a British brand bought out by Walkers aka Lays aka Pepsi Co

[@whatwhat100]

Plot twist: Poh sent this snack package.

[@geofftottenperthcoys9944]

Rendang chips, yeah! One of my fav curry types of all time!

[@Danceofmasks]

Red Rock was an interesting novelty to try when they launched ... after a few weeks, I went right back to Thins Light and Tangy

[@matthewcullen1298]

From memory Poh won a cooking show possibly MasterChef. I've never tried those chips but I always love seeing her cook. She has such an awesome personality and is very entertaining. Its a shame the chips are not good

[@Wallie8228]

She came second, lost to Julie Goodwin, season 1 I think. I'd argue around TV deals for shows and books Poh was the eventual winner.

Rendang is a dry Malay/Indonesian curry, the chips have curry spices on them - ginger, galangal, turmeric leaves, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, chilli

[@MegaBumblebee666]

if he said it tasted like soap this one probably had cilantro in it.

[@dawnradel9008]

Smith's are Lays

[@rogermckinnon5738]

[@Darryl.M]

Chips

[@joandsarah77]

As others have said I bet the soap flavour on the beef chips came from coriander/cilantro. It's to do with some gene. I can't eat anything with monk fruit sweetener as it tastes horrible to me, again its some taste receptor gene. The Thai Chili & Lime is my husbands favourite. I'm not a fan of it. These fancy chips you either love or hate I think.

[@jimihossack9191]

So with that bag of red Rock deli things: they are limited flavours, they always suck. Chicken is a standard. Chilli is a standard. Once it says something like "rendang" or "chef" it's gonna be terrible.

[@cypherglitch]

He has jumpies, but no twisties, burger rings or Toobs??? Jumpies are no where near as popular as the rest, I was suprised he had a pack. Smiths are not the aussie version of lays. Thins are the aussie version of Lays. Smiths are always crinkle cut, where thins are.... thin...

[@taniaPBear]

You don't like cilantro (coriander to us) do you? There is a gene thing you either have or don't that makes you taste it in a different way, it either tastes refreshing and delicious, or like soap, I'm in the soap category too. Weird huh?

I’m a Brit living in Australia. Do I count twice? Seriously though, good to see you trying some Aussie stuff. The food is pretty good here and I’ll quietly concede that some Aussie snacks are better than the British originals. Like Penguin chocolate biccies are good but Tim Tams are amazingly good, and I even prefer Vegemite to Marmite.

I hardly eat crisps, and when I do, it's normally some expensive brand (I've never heard of) in a pub!
