Foodie Swellness: Lay’s Do Us a Flavour 2016 – VOTE for your World Favourites

March 11, 2016

Lay’s sent me a “mystery box” of ingredients to inspire me to experiment with some different cultural flavours, which called for getting out some pots and pans and tying on an apron. But I do like to cook (and I love eating even more!) so I used their recipe for Thai sweet chili dipping sauce and pulled out the ingredients below from the box and added a few fresh ones from the market.

To go with the sweet and garlicky dip, I made some fresh spring rolls (some vegetarian, some with shrimp and “crab”), which are impressive looking but are actually super simple to make, just takes some time to put together and you have to work with the delicate rice wraps carefully so as to not tear them. I think these cold spring rolls are actually Vietnamese cuisine but there’s nothing wrong with doing a mash-up of cuisines, right?

A way easier way for you to explore some different cultural flavours is to vote for your World Favourite in Lay’s Do Us a Flavour. There are 12 World Favourites to choose from divided into three categories, and the top vote-getter in each category will be chosen the winners. So three flavours will make it onto Canadian stores.

The three categories? Iconic Ingredients, Home Cooked Classics and Street Food. Here’s a quick breakdown but you’ll find all of this on the Lay’s DoUsAFlavour site, too:

Iconic Ingredients

• Magic Masala (inspired by India)
• Pico de Gallo (inspired by Mexico)
• Paprika (inspired by Hungary)
• Thai Sweet Chili (inspired by Thailand)

Home Cooked Classics

• Spicy Hot Pot (inspired by China)
• Picanha Steak (inspired by Brazil)
• Cheese and Onion (inspired by the UK)
• Chicken and Waffles (inspired by America)

Street Food

• Ribs on the Bar-B (inspired by Australia)
• Fries with Joppiesaus (inspired by Holland)
• Bacon Poutine (inspired by Canada)
• Chicken Kebab (inspired by Egypt)

You can vote up to three times daily for the flavours you want to win so that they’re the ones that make it into stores (and into your belly!). And voting is open now until March 20, 2016. And what’s in it for you if you go vote (other than getting your fave World Favourites into stores)? Well, there are a total of 245 Lay’s daily prizes to be won!

Ready to vote? Which sound the tastiest to you? I think my votes go to Thai Sweet Chili, Cheese and Onion, and Bacon Poutine (go Canada!). Here’s where you can vote (and don’t forget to vote daily!): DoUsAFlavour.ca

I can’t wait to see which flavours win! Chips are my weakness. If I could, I would eat them daily. But this type of swellness is better in moderation
