Kind of a weird deal

You saw, perhaps, the serendipitous arrival (or was it discovery?) of two extraordinary new potato chip flavors last month. These were “Chef’s Signature” flavors.

I was excited to find another flavor in this line. It is baked cheese with tamarind paste. “That’s odd,” I thought before trying them, “as I’ve never had such a dish in Thailand. What kind of flavor is this?”

It appears to be a flavor that no chef wanted to put their signature or photograph to. My tasting notes recorded them being a bit spicier than I would have expected for baked cheese.
