    Love it! I had the captions on and when you spoke in an accent, it said "prim and proper Kenyan accent". Hilarious!!

    Would love to see a curated “Smack Yo Lips” snack box of Evelyn’s favorite treats from the series. Do a super limited quantity run. Maybe during the holiday season. It would be a hit!

    It's so cool to see chevda show up on this smack yo lip! Chevda is really common in India and I grew up eating it, and we do sometimes add it on top of other things but my fave is to put some finely diced onion, tomato, cilantro, and lime on top of it, especially if it's fried lentil heavy! So delicious!

    went back to India to visit dear friends over the Christmas/NY break and since its winter, i got my hands on 2 packages of milk cake, like proper Kalakhand as they'd send out with wedding invitations (thus in winter, it's a seasonal thing), and I've been snacking one each evening, delighting my soul with soft sugary crumbly goodness :))) love to see you back!

    Hey Evelyn, I absolutely love this Smack Yo Lip video!!!!! Some of the snacks presented reminds me of when my family spent the last two weeks of April in Costa Rica last year, where I really fell in love with tostones (fried plantain chips). They have such a variety of flavors, which came in handy especially as my Crimson Wave kicked in the first few days 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. As of the moment, I can't stop munching on these ginger chews from Prince of Peace, which I buy from my local Burlington Coat Factory every once in a blue moon. I started off with the Mango ones, but I've incorporated Lychee & Blood Orange into my snacking repertoire. From me, they get 5 SMACKIES ALL AROUND 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. Happy Snacking y'all ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

    2:32 wonder if lemon is being used interchangeably for lime. I’m Kenyan, and both my parents use “lemon” to mean lemon or lime.

  • @Amina-cw1em
    @Amina-cw1em ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You're so right about it being like a jelly consistency! Ketchup tastes different but it matches well with their homemade type fries because its thicker. It almost tastes all more homemade, idk. I'm a Heinz girl though

  • @applesandmustard
    @applesandmustard ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I haven't had ketchup chips/crisps before but since they're made of potatoes, as are fries and fries are dipped in ketchup, that's probably why it's a popular flavor there! It does seem weird when I try to imagine what it tastes like though. Potatoes and tomatoes got a good thing goin on.

    • @staceynjani9859
      @staceynjani9859 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly! potatoes and tomatoes belong together

  • @AvaD1018
    @AvaD1018 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    oooh! the chevda is definitely a relative of Indian/South Asian chiwda(which I grew up with!) would definitely recommend that for a taste test toooo 😊

    • @zucchinigreen
      @zucchinigreen ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yup we have it in the Caribbean too.
      We call it Chiblo.
      It's good!

  • @irishgn08
    @irishgn08 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The chevda reminds me of something we have in India! It's like Bhel Puri mix (some deep fried gram flour(?) sticks, some nuts, just a bunch of crispies, sometimes with raisins maybe, super spicy and pungent). There's another one similar to Bhel Puri mix that's more like Chevda (everything's bigger) but I forget the name -- still, cool to see some similarities!

    • @amerlv1

      I was so mad the internet/FragTok made me buy a rose and cumin perfume from Le Labo that was so hyped up (Rose 31).
      I wore it once and immediately felt nauseated 🤢. I ended up throwing it away. Thankfully it was only a sample size, but NEVER again.
      And I love cumin in food, I love curry, but perfume? No ma'am 😔

    @ntcssj ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm also eating while watching this and at 4:10 I thought you said Cheese and Honey flavour. That's a unique flavor I've not heard of. * looks it up * Mister Potato, a Malaysian brand has Cheese and Honey potato chips. Potato chip flavor combos feel like they can be endless! Makes me wonder about one of those freestyle drink machines but for potato chip flavors.

    I think cheese and onion crisps are pretty popular in the UK as well. Meanwhile here in USAmerica I'm resisting the urge to hoard my current favorite chip: Flaming Hot Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles (because I would absolutely eat a big bag of them in a day and I really should not be allowed to do that).

    I'm not much of a snacker unfortunately so no recommendations here lol. Have you guys been active on Patreon again recently?? I took a hiatus but I'd happily jump back on if you're rocking and rolling again.

    I'm at my relatives' place in South India right now, which means food: amazing, everything else: 🫠 But I'm loving all the crunchy, sweet, spicy, lemony stuff here. My favorite is thattai, a deep-fried crisp disc of flour, I think gram flour. You can break it and put it in your meal. Banana chips also reign supreme. I got to see how they're made, too! A fire underneath, a wok filled halfway with coconut oil, sizzling, green bananas fed into a cutting machine until the wok is full. They come out a golden yellow.
