i am an all chips kind of eater

unless the flavor is bad, i will eat it

but cheesy poofs will always hold a special place in my heart
 
Chips with food (sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs etc) for straight up snacking, Snyders Buffalo Pretzel Bits.
 
Pita Chips, because they're the crunchiest.

But I also love cheetos and just about any potato chip.
 
Should have made this a poll, perhaps. Just to see how high Cheezies get rated. Might be a common denominator. Lowest common denominator that is. Things will kill me!
 
All time favorite is Jack Link's peppered beef jerky but cheesy poofs are a close second. I'm weird. I usually open. The bag for a bit and let them go stale, makes 'em more chewy
 
I like potato chips but I tend to eat far too many of them if I have them around so I just don't buy them. I do buy restaurant style tortilla chips which are completely different from things like Tostitos, Doritos and other not actual tortilla chips.

You have to actually form tortillas cook them cut them and then fry them to turn them into chips. If I have the time and energy to do so I can of course just simply make my own from tortillas although for some reason the restaurant quality ones seem to be thinner than the ones that I make myself and the crispiness is better.

Although they do come in a bag and are for snacking I don't really use them that way I use them to make nachos or at least top 10 with cheese and melt it or I use them to dip guacamole or bean dip.

if I have a big bag of them on hand and am in the mood for something crunchy and salty sometimes I'll grab a handful of them but it's not very satisfying if you don't add minimum use them to dip some salsa. Which reminds me. I bought all the ingredients fairly recently to make two different kinds of salsa and I have made neither.

on my to-do list is to have a conversation with aquagal about various Mexican cheeses. I recently got something called enchilada cheese which was somewhere near mozzarella but not I got a second batch from a different vendor and it was more like somewhere between a hard reggiano and a crumbly fetta. anyway, what made me think of that is I've been making this thing that is similar to what some Mexican friends have described there families make sometimes for breakfast that I think is called chiliquilles. corn chips smothered with chile verde and cheese and broiled. I suspect the love to read version of it would be Frito pie.

speaking of love to read and bad Mexican food...

also on my to-do list was to ask LTR, our resident taco Bell aficionado: I ate at Taco Bell last night. Childhood comfort food. do anything I used to splurge on with my lawn mowing money was to order a beefy tostado which is currently an off menu item. I believe it came with sour cream but perhaps I ordered that extra. Not wanting to hassle with that in a Drive-Thru and eating it in my car so I ordered a burrito supreme. I thought those came with sour cream inside am I wrong?
 
What Conager said. If I buy a bag of salty goodness it has a life expectancy of less than 12 hours so I buy a bag maybe once a month. As for the burrito supreme it is always my choice at Taco Bell when I can't decide. It does come with sour cream. I pay for extra.

I want my $2.90 back. They left it off. I kept expecting that perhaps they simply put it together badly and that when I got past all the wilted lettuce I would get to the sour cream but there was none by the time I reached the last bite.

Frankly, a bean and cheese burrito with green sauce instead of red would have tasted better. Which is what I usually get when I'm in a hurry and just need to eat something cheap and fast.

I think the tendency of the lettuce to wilt is why all those burrito supreme ingredients taste so much better on a tostada shell then they do folded inside a tortilla.
 
Speaking of cheetos, Dee-

I'm not a fan but the kids like them so I sometimes have them around. What I've done with them at times is my chilaquiles thing. You throw them on a plate, smother 'em in enchilada sauce and cheese and then microwave the crap out of them.

Probably could do it with just cheese and forgo the sauce. They get that slightly chewy texture that stale ones get without tasting stale.
 
No.

But, when I need fuel in a week or so, I will get the little 1oz bag of volcano chips from the food truck that makes my lunch, that day.

Call 'em coffee trucks around here. Whatever you call them, can't imagine a big construction site or small production plant without a at least twice a day appearance. Eaten a lot of meals out of a coffee truck. Coffee sucks but half the time had hot cuties driving them. Plus they let you run a tab. Seen guys sign over paychecks to the coffee truck.
