These I've been looking forward to! I love sun-dried tomatoes (and tomatoes in general, come to that) and basil. Let the chip eating commence!
To start, they have a very strong smell that smells more like strange basil and maybe a hint of tomato paste. They also have weird brown seasoning nibblies everywhere which I can only imagine is the basil flakes? Some chip are an orange-y/red which is the tomato, no doubt.
But what do they taste like?
Salty. They taste very salty. With a very strong, sweet sort of tomato paste aftertaste. I don't know if I'd call these tomato and basil - I'm not sure what I'd call them, but they're not bad. They're also weird. I don't quite know how I feel about them. The strongest taste is the taste of tomato paste and salt I think, and a bit of sweetness after (leftover from the paste taste?).
One thing that's so nice about chips is they go with so many different meals. These? Their flavor is so strong I'm not sure what you'd eat them with that they wouldn't completely overpower. There are also some absolutely giant chips in this bag which seems strange. Somehow kettle chips seem like they should be smaller.
While I like these, the flavor is so strong and... unique... that I can't see myself eating them again unless I want this specific tomato paste-y flavor. I can't think of anything these would go well with other than overkill on tomato soup maybe. Still, they aren't
bad - I like the flavor well enough... it's just that a few of these go a looooong way.
