The three main flavors are ready salted, cheese & onion and salt & vinegar, however other typical examples include prawn cocktail, worcestershire sauce, roast chicken, steak & onion, smoky bacon, lamb & mint, ham & mustard, barbecue, BBQ rib, tomato ketchup, sausage & ketchup, pickled onion, Branston Pickle, Marmite and more exotic seasonings such as Thai sweet chili, roast pork & creamy mustard sauce, lime and Thai spices, chicken with Italian herbs, sea salt and cracked black pepper, turkey & bacon, caramelized onion & sweet balsamic vinegar, stilton & cranberry and mango chili.<br /><br />South Africa has a large variety of potato chip flavors, including "fruit chutney", "biltong" (beef jerky), "sausage", "worcestershire sauce", and "tomato sauce" (ketchup flavor) among many others.<br /><br />In the Netherlands the market is dominated by Lay's; they offer a large variety of flavors, like: 'naturel' (salted), paprika, bolognese (Italian herbs and tomato), barbecued ham, cheese & onion, Mexican herbs, Heinz tomato ketchup, chilli, spareribs, Mediterranean herbs, Thai sweet chili, Oriental spices, pepper & cream, chicken & thyme and spices & lime. <br /><br />Etc etc etc... Ketchup is just the tip of the potato chip iceberg. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.herrsstore.com/ke55ozba.html" rel="nofollow">Click here to buy!</a>Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047590428827738771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-56778472872490100952009-10-30T19:35:18.272-04:002009-10-30T19:35:18.272-04:00Unfortunately, I've not seen it more frequentl...Unfortunately, I've not seen it more frequently than you.

Don't you live in Colorado? :) Seriously though, we were extremely lucky to get the opportunity to tour this brewery.<br /><br />Sam - Marty at Bell's gave us the tour of the place. Super nice guy.<br /><br />Scott - I didn't think it was wretched. Spicy, yes. But not wretched. I guess it's whatever floats your boat.<br /><br />Rod - you suck.<br /><br />Michael - you're probably right. But it is something we have not seen in Indiana (at least in the current packaging)for a long time. The information we find is that it was released one time in 2006. You may have been more fortunate to see it more frequently.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962101636917040661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-80895018813260251772009-10-29T19:43:04.541-04:002009-10-29T19:43:04.541-04:00I hate to be contentious and don't want to sou...I hate to be contentious and don't want to sound like an ass...but the Rye Stout is not new to the bottle. It's been a while that it has been in the bottle and I've been looking forward to seeing again (because it's terrific). It's not "new" though. Either way, I really appreciate this post and it further stresses that I ought to head up there some time.michael Reinhardthttp://www.thankheavenforbeer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-58872728104465744292009-10-29T14:23:14.468-04:002009-10-29T14:23:14.468-04:00They had Wild One at GABF and it was very good!
