As I sauntered down the chip aisle of my local grocery store the other day, I accidentally stumbled upon a new flavor of Pringles. My initial reaction was "Wasabi? Wassup with that?" And, so, naturally I had to buy a package and sample them (fortunately, they were on sale...or this review might have only been posted at a later date.) In any case, upon arriving home, I quickly cracked back the pull-back flap, took the stack and snack attacked. Like the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, I was caught off guard...mostly because the heat of the wasabi in my mouth was Hiroshima-esque. But, the POW factor quickly subsided and I was able to enjoy the rest of the can without all the WW2 references. Fans of wasabi peas will be delighted to know that the flavor worked equally well on potatoes (or in this instance, a dried potato, corn starch, corn flour and rice flour mixture) The little hint of green powder on the curved treat also added a nice festive flair and might look quite snazzy on the head of a ceramic pope, if for some reason one just happened to have one sitting around in their kitchen. Needless to say, these tasty taters were terminated in no-time at all (without any alcoholic accompaniment, might I add.) On the wang-o-meter these fancy factory-made frites rate a splendid 8.5 inches. However, take note, if you are not a fan of the wasabi, then I suggest you watusi away from these crunchy munchies.
