Jimmy Johns Jimmy Chips Salt & Vinegar

I never even thought of hitting up my local Jimmy John’s sub shop for their chips, until ThrallMind mentioned it the other day.  So of course, the next time I had some Jimmy John’s, I had to grab some chips.  And none better than one of my favorite flavors, but Salt & Vinegar.

My love of salt & vinegar chips comes from when I lived in England as a child. I loved them, but when I came back to the United States, they were nowhere to be found.  Until Lays was kind enough to bring them to the states years later (THANK YOU LAYS!).

The first thing that always hits me when opening a bag of salt & vinegar chips is the smell.  That familar bite in my nose that lets me know that there is vinegar present.  And these chips do not disappoint.  The tell tale smell of vinegar compliments the delicious taste of the vinegar as you bite into the chips.  And the vinegar is perfectly balances by the salt on these chips.  While the balance is there and it tastes very good, there isn’t enough vinegar on the chips for my tastes.  I prefer a little more bite in my salt and vinegar.

One of the things that does stand out about these chips is the grease.  Not only is there a visable residue on your fingers when eating, but the inside of the bag is coated in the shiny substance.   Not an all together bad thing, but it is definatly something to lprepare for.

Overall, a downright plesant tasting chip that I will most likely order the next time I get some Jimmy John’s subs.  If you can, I recommend them to any Salt & Vinegar chip fan.
