I've seen some flavors of snack foods in Japan that are very strange by American standards including consommé flavored popcorn and curry flavored, well, just about anything curry flavored (even donuts---no, I'm not joking).
When I saw this in the store the other day, I had to buy it! "Fried chicken taste" chips. Okay, I'm opening it right now . . . it tastes... WOW!!!!!! It's pretty good! I can't say it tastes exactly like fried chicken, but it's pretty close!
Hmm....maybe I should make a regular feature on unusual foods in Japan. Well, we'll see . . .
