potato chips and spices

[darkoshi]

For whatever reason, plain potato chips don't appeal much to me any more. The ones in my cabinets stay there uneaten for a long time.

My niece left a bunch of spices, including spice mixes, when she moved out. Today I sprinkled "Slap Yo Mama" over potato chips. It contains salt, red and black pepper, and garlic. It's good; it gives the chips some zest plus even more saltiness. The Creole Seasoning one with similar ingredients minus the garlic wasn't as good. Neither was my Masala mix (but maybe if I mixed it with sugar...?)

The other day I was trying to remember what we always used to eat cinnamon sugar on when I was a kid. I believe it was rice pudding.

Cinnamon sugar goes on buttered toast. A 200g bag of plain potato chips goes into a tuna fish casserole, thus:

Mix together in a big bowl:
1 200g bag of crushed potato chips
1 can of cream of mushroom soup (Campbell's)
1 can of tuna fish (drained)

Fill the empty soup can with regular milk, pour it into the mix and stir until even.

Pour the mix into a tall baking dish (glass is best) and bake in the oven for half an hour. Remove from oven, let cool a bit then dish it out on to your plates.

My family didn't put cinnamon sugar on buttered toast, but that does sound good.

As a child, I never liked cream of mushroom soup (didn't like mushrooms) even before I went vegan; thinking of it still makes me recoil. But I suppose I could use the chips in other dishes like that.

I suspect that you could easily swap the 'shroom soup for cream of onion. The stove-top variant, using noodles, not potato chips, calls for half a small onion, chopped. The is '50's style dead-simple casserole from the era of jello-everything (blegh).
