Today on Food on Fridays, I want to take a look at a food we found in Vancouver that we will not miss now that we’re in Seattle and it’s possibly harder to find.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of food that we had in Vancouver that we do think of fondly, of course: Simba’s African grill, all the Japanese Isakayas, the Bulgarian place, the Chinese noodles, the Moroccan place, the fresh fish, etc. , etc.  The list goes on for all the food things we really enjoyed in Vancouver.

But then there is something that I bought in the grocery store that seemed typically Canadian. So it seemed reasonable to try. At least for blogging purposes.

I mean, maple is good, bacon is good, and potato chips are good. What could be bad, then, about Maple Bacon Potato Chips?

They weren’t the worst chips in the world, but they were a bit odd.   And I think it’s telling to say that Chris — who loves potato chips of most any kind — decided they weren’t worth finishing.

Contrary to what people say, bacon does not make everything better, apparently.

It was the only misstep in our fabulous nearly 8-week-long food odyssey in Vancouver. Ah well – 99% of what we had there I’d rank as anywhere from pretty good to great, which makes the Maple Bacon chips remarkable in the fact that they really weren’t very good at all – but at least worthy of note for a Food on Friday.

Just a quick house-keeping note to follow-up on my post from the other day: My computer is still not really all back together – let’s just say it’s not been a good week for me and technology. In addition to the hard-drive complete failure, it turns out a major thing that I thought was being backed up wasn’t. So, I’m still trying to sort out how to put back as many of the pieces as possible, but it’s going to take a bit longer. Until I get more of it organized and installed, I won’t have a date for when regular posts will start. Hopefully soon. Stay tuned for any breaking developments on that front.

OK, well, hopefully not breaking developments, exactly … but you know what I mean…
