Smith and Ben and Jerry

threemonkeysPotato chips (crisps) and ice cream. They are the calorie sources that have really got to me. When motivated, I can show restraint against most foods, but those two power my overeating addiction like no other. Consequently, since the start of my sabbatical, I have banned them from my house. Not an easy fight - they have a tendency to just leap into my shopping cart when I'm not watching.
My resolve was somewhat broken on my recent trip to Oz. But there is a reason for that - I had to get a fix of the best chips available in the region. I went to the nearby convenience store and managed to buy just the one packet to keep me going through the weekend. But it didn't end there. You see, since last time I was in Melbourne, Ben and Jerry's ice cream has entered the market there and the convenience store sold convenient (naturally) sized tubs of it. Well I just had to try it didn't I? Air New Zealand didn't help by serving up Kapiti ice cream on both legs of the journey.
So, I'm home and have resisted so far. But what do I see in the news today Bluebird have announced 4 new flavour chips and are asking people to vote on them. I just don't think I can resist. Help. If I break on this, ice cream can't be far behind.
For your reference, the flavours are:
Cheesy Garlic Bread
Butter Chippin'
Paua Fritters with Lemon Wedges
Sunday Roast (which I can easily bypass - previous "roast" flavoured chips have been revolting)
