We're a small crew at the place I'm working nowadays. There are only 8
of us on the R & D team. We sit in a sort of bull-pen type area,
all around the edges.
In the middle of our bull-pen is a table with a bunch of snacks on it. We buy bags of chips and crackers and trail mixes and what-have-you and throw them all on the table to share.
At some point over the weekend a bag of Mango Tortilla Chips has magically appeared. Yes, you heard me correctly, Magically appeared. It must have been magical because nobody is admitting to bringing them. And yes, you heard me correctly, Mango Tortilla Chips.
It was a few hours before anybody got up the nerve to open the bag.
If I can take a moment here to reflect: After spending some time in Southeast Asia I can honestly say I've had some very delicious savory mango-based dishes, like chicken in a mango sauce, and a fantastic mango chutney. And I can certainly imagine a yummy mango salsa type dish. Mmm. This is making my mouth water.
But mango corn tortilla chips just sounds wrong. Wrong. Indeed, it tastes wrong too. It's a strange combination of undefined sweet overlaying otherwise plain corn tortillas. Even as a novelty, it's pretty weak.
