Research Update

I have been appreciative of the support expressed over the PKAP Airship 1 mishap, and concerned over the amount of humor people seem to draw from our .....willingness to push the boundaries. That sounds good. Anyway, the PKAP airship will be flying again on Friday or Saturday, so who knows what might happen. Several people have written me concerned that I am neglecting my potato chip flavor research - au contraire, mi amigo. So, latest research now includes:

• Caramelized Onion and Balsamic Vinegar -- ******* (7)
• Tzatziki -- * (1)
• Mexican Peppers and Cream -- ******** (8)
• Oven Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Thyme -- **** (4)

Former flavors:

• Argentinean Steak -- ***** (5)
• Barbecue -- ******** (8)
• Cheese and Onion -- *** (3)
• English Cheese on Toast -- ***** (6)
• Greek Salsa -- **** (4)
• Mediterranean Herb -- ****** (6)
• Prawn Cocktail -- ********** (10)
• Salt and Vinegar -- ******* (7)
• Brazilian Mango and Chile -- **** (4)
• Thai Sweet Chile -- ** (2)
