Quoting Michael Loo to Dale Shipp <=-

I encourage, even urge, those who have notably good
or bad product experiences to report these for the
benefit of all.

Here's my take on our latest purchase of a newish product ...

Christie Good Thins: If they are available in the US, they are
probably branded Nabisco. They are a cross between a cracker and a
chip and the box brags that there are no artificial colours,
artificial flavors, cholesterol, partially hydrogenated oils or high
fructose corn syrup and have 60% less fat than the "leading regular
fried potato chip".

I tried the potato, spinach and garlic variety made with potato
flour plus cornstarch, enriched wheat flour and oat fibre, canola oil,
and flavoured with dried spinach, maltodextrin, sugar, onion and
garlic powder, salt and "other spices and natural flavour."

They were baked, not fried, and crispy like a good chip ought to be.
The potato and onion flavour comes through nicely. They were
sufficiently salted to be tasty but not overly salty and not
noticeably sweet despite there being two sugars listed towards the
end of the list. They went well with a variety of dips.

Christie makes other varieties using sweet potato, rice, chickpea,
corn, and oat flours flavoured with white cheddar, sea salt and
pepper, a veggie blend, sesame, poppy or flax seeds, or garlic and
herb, as well as spinach and garlic.

They were quite tasty and I plan on trying the other kinds in the
future. I can recommend them with one caveat. I hate spending over
$10/kg on salty, greasy, starchy, crunchy things when I consider the
base price of the potatoes and flour they are made from. These were
$2.00 for a 100 g package, but marked down 50% as they were close to
the use by date. So a good buy at half price.




Cheers

Jim
