Florida Foodie Taste Test: Squid-flavored chips

Central Florida is home to a wide variety of ethnic markets, offering scents and flavors from all around the world.

While wandering the aisle of these shops, the variety of snacks could catch your eye and make you wonder, “What could that possibly taste like?”

That is the premise behind a new segment on the Florida Foodie podcast.

On the first Florida Foodie Taste Test, hosts Candace Campos and Lisa Bell are subjected to a unique chip flavor from overseas by producer Thomas Mates.

The grilled-squid-flavored potato chips are an import from Asia. Even though it comes from a familiar company, Lay’s, the flavor is anything but common in Central Florida.

Campos, Bell and Mates put the flavor to the test — evaluating the smell and the taste with some surprising results. Without giving too much away, the word “armpit” gets thrown around a bit.

The trio also talks about their most memorable meal, which includes the story of a harrowing experience from Bell’s childhood.

You can hear it all in the latest episode of Florida Foodie.
