Do you have a favorite chip and dip?


I would probably have to go with guacamole and tortilla chips.

Flaming Hot Cheetos with Ranch + Sour Cream dip you make at home. 

Otherwise I don't really dip my chips. I am odd.

Definitely guacamole for me too but NO cilantro. 

 I know a lot of people like cilantro but I can't eat it in any of my food. Guac and tortilla chips go great together, I can make a meal out of it.

Tortilla chips and pico de gallo.

 I just love guac. Oh man, I just love guac. I dip pretzels in it, though. I've done lunch at work with guac and pretzels. But when my co-workers know I have it, they always manage to come in when I'm eating lunch and help themselves to my guac.

Ina Garten has a to-die-for Pan-Fried Onion Dip that I really like.  

I love a good buffalo chicken dip. When she worked in our building, one of my GFs used to bring in a huge crock pot of buffalo chicken dip with slices of a good chewy bread. Well, the heck with the bread.....I'd get a bowl, throw in a couple large spoons of dip, and pig out. 

Rick is a big fan of hot crab dip. He likes Wheat Thins.

Guacamole tops them all!

Our local diner makes an amazing artichoke dip and serve it with blue corn tortilla chips. Absolutely one of my favorites. And you can eat it as a meal they give you a generous helping of dip and chips.

I do love ruffles with clam dip. Or corn tortilla chips with salsa.

When we went to dinner for our work Christmas party (all paid for except alcohol) I had a cheesy crab dip with fried wonton chips. It was amazing.

I've never met a dip I didn't like. But I usually don't particularly buy chips and dip. I just buy the flavored ones most of the time.

 

Oh.. I almost forgot. Fritos scoops and 7 layer bean dip. It's super easy to make and filling. Only my mom and I will eat it.. so we usually don't buy it at the store as it's in a huge container.

ruffles chips and onion sour cream dip is my fav

Doritos in Onion dip are a close second place.

Salsa and corn chips always a hit. And of course added toppings. sour cream, hamburger,  tomatoes, olives and hot peppers and bake them on tin foil in the oven with the cheese ontop.

I agree. I love guacamole and fresh, hot tortilla chips but NO cilantro. That stuff is nasty. It tastes like soap and overpowers everything it touches.

Now that sounds intriguing! I love Flaming Hot Cheetos but I've never dipped them in anything.

I rarely have chips with dip at home. I will eat hummus with either chips or pretzel buns, but that's more of a lunch than a snack. And I love having fresh tortilla chips with salsa and/or guac at a Mexican restaurant.

One thing I really like is salt & vinegar Kettle potato chips with Tostitos queso dip. It has to be Tostitos queso, no other brand will do. I prefer the Kettle chips but will settle for other brands if necessary.

Thank you.  I know a lot of people like it but you're right, it does taste like soap and definitely overpowers everything. 

  It actually has to do with our genes:

That explains it.  I am one of the people who likes cilantro and I did not understand where people got the idea about it tasting like soap, now I know.

That's interesting. In that article, they suggest swapping cilantro with parsley. But these herbs are in the same botanical family, Apiaceae. (I should know, as I am sadly allergic to several of these herbs, woe is me.) You would think that some of the same aldehydes would be in parsley too?

Haha, I'm one of the people who thinks cilantro tastes like soap. . .but I still like it, in moderation, in certain recipes. I wonder where that fits in, lol.

I can taste even the smallest amount of it and I absolutely hate it. The taste dominates anything it is in. 

I'm the opposite of you. I can't understand how anyone could NOT taste soap when they eat it. 

 

I don't like parsley either though. IMO it's nothing more than a garnish.
