Flavour Inspiration:

Montreal Smoked Meat sandwiches are emblematic of their namesake city’s cuisine. Zdravko Gunjevic was inspired to create the flavour because it’s such a delicious dish that not only can be ordered in delis throughout Quebec, but throughout Canada and around the world too!

Jon – This is an uncommon chip flavour, but I had some Old Dutch recently that were a similar flavour.  These had a salty meaty flavour with a hint of brine taste.  I found them okay, but they slightly reminded me of hotdogs.  Mostly salty meatly flavour to too me.  Not enough brine / mustard. I liked the Old Dutch Smoked Meat & Mustard Hoagie much better. 5/10

Mark – Now these, I enjoyed them. They are very similar to the title, they reminded me of the Double Dutch Smoked Meat & Mustard Hoagie. Comparable to them but more mild tasting. You really get a light mustard taste and more of the smoked meat taste. Overall pretty mild, not too much to them, I was just an ok fan of them. 5.5/10

Helena – This was the last bag we picked up. I expected it to have some mustard taste, and it did. It was the first thing I tasted. The smoke meat flavour came in later in the bite but after having few they started tasting like hot dogs. This is not a bad thing as I kept going for more. The after taste wasn’t the greatest, though. 6.5/10
