Happy New Product Wednesday, LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers!
It is once again the time where I review products that are new, or at least new to me! Memorial Day Weekend I went to visit my friend FLL (First Lady of Lynchburg) in Lynchburg, Virginia.
I knew it would be a great weekend of shopping, eating, sightseeing and wacky adventures. And FLL delivered!
We had lunch at a local downtown restaurant that had a small general store-type display (Market At Main). FLL said that I had to try the local potato chips under the brand name Route 11.
Now you don't have to tell me twice to try potato chips.
I grabbed three flavors: Lightly Salted, Sweet Potato Chips and "Mama Zuma's Revenge" habanero flavored potato chips. If I was going to truly experience Virginia potato chips, I couldn't just try one flavor - right? That's right!
I was also happy to see that the Sweet Potato chips were made with organic sweet potatoes from Quail Cove Farms. I have never heard of Quail Cove Farms, but it sounds lovely! Evidently the farm is in Machipongo, Virginia.
I have never heard of Machipongo either, but I am pretty sure it's my new G-rated swear word. MACHIPONGO!
The Lightly Salted Route 11 potato chips were perfection. Not greasy, just the right amount of salt, crisp, crunchy, delish!
The Sweet Potato Route 11 potato chips had great sweet potato flavor - and again not greasy, just the right amount of salt, crisp, crunchy and delicious. I'm not a huge fan of Sweet Potato chips, but these are really good.
But then the most beautifully decorated potato chip bag - the Route 11 Mama Zuma's Revenge habanero-flavored potato chips - attacked me with a fiery vengeance! I had three chips and then ran screaming, wishing I had a milk product to extinguish the fire! They were SO HOT! Serious MACHIPONGO!
A lone tear skated down my face. I couldn't do it. I just could NOT do it. They were too hot for me! I love potato chips, but these were just too hot!
There are six other Route 11 potato chip flavors, so even though Mama Zuma's Revenge was too hot for me I bet I'll find some more favorites from their other flavors. You can buy them online here.
They also sell Route 11 merchandise, in case incredibly hot potato chips are not enough for you! They have chip and dip baskets. They also have gift tins and boxes. Talk about an amazing gift! (My sister and I sent our father a mixed flavors case of Route 11 potato chips for Father's Day! We sent them early to make sure they arrived before Father's Day - and he was very happy to see them!)
You can also visit their factory in Mount Jackson, Virginia - a fry viewing and free potato chip samples!
