Tomato and vinegar chips

Today's adventure in food was a bag of Red Bliss Sun Dried Tomatoes & Balsamic Vinegar potato chips from Terra Chips. There are several Red Bliss chip flavours. This one is made with olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.
Your taste buds will be delighted with the flavorful combination of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, enhanced with the sophisticated bite of sun-dried tomatoes. Delicately seasoned with the perfect hint of garlic, basil and cayenne pepper, this seasoned snack is almost a gourmet meal in a bag.
Note the key word gourmet, which may explain why these chips were in the premium organic food section instead of the snack aisle. It would also explain the premium price.
If I told you these are the best sun-dried tomato and balsamic vinegar chips I've ever tasted, it wouldn't mean much; they're the only ones I've tasted.
How about this, then: they were fresh and crunchy and delicious. The taste combination won me over on the second chip. (The first chip was just curious exploration.)
They're not for snacking while playing cards; they're for serving to special guests. The 170 gram bag cost me five bucks, which is a little out of my normal snack food price range, but I would definitely buy them again.
Now that I've taken the plunge and tried Terra Chips brand, I'm ready to sample their other products. Terra Sweets and Beets are on my shopping list for next time.
