Fakiat Barbeque

Fakiat Barbeque is a barbecue-flavoured chip, made for people who want a loud savoury snack rather than something plain. By our assessment, barbecue chips like this usually live or die on the seasoning: smoky, salty, a little sweet, and sometimes a bit sharp at the finish. The upside is obvious in the first bite, because the flavour comes through fast and does the work for the whole bag. The downside is that this style can flatten out after a few handfuls, especially if the seasoning leans harder on smoke and salt than on actual depth. In practice it is a crisp chip with a coating that leaves fingers dusty and the mouth wanting a drink. Against plain chips it offers more immediate punch, but also less room for subtlety. Fakiat Barbeque is basically a strong-flavoured snack, not a nuanced one.
