I've seen these around enough that I'm not sure they're 'strange' anymore, but I can only find them at a few places (Duane Reade being one of them) and I've never tried them so I pronounce them: 'strange chips'. And now I shall eat them! I'm not sure how the 'garden' bit factors in... perhaps these are certified organic?
But what do they taste like?
Tastes tomato-y and basil-y, but not super strongly of either. There's a satisfying tomato taste at the first bite, and then the basil follows, but it disappears pretty quickly after that. Where do you go, flavor? Has someone stolen you? For the most part these taste a bit like they have tomato paste on them... not quite tomatoes, but something a bit chemically. This works well for me as I love the taste of tomato paste, but it's perhaps misleading from the bag. I am not tasting garden fresh tomatoes, Lay's!
Are they
bad? No, certainly not. Are they good? Yeah, they're pretty good. Would I seek them out again? Ehhhh - if it was the choice between that and plain Lay's then sure. If I had other options? Probably not. They taste kinda like a tomato-y BBQ chip almost, but the regular Lay's BBQ chips are better... stronger. These are pretty mild, and if you like tomato or basil I suspect you'll like these. If you're looking for something that will punch you in the face with flavors then you'll probably do better elsewhere.
