I’ve never been a big potato-chip eater. I’ll have the occasional Cape Cod chip, but for the most part, the things seem like a pretty big waste of fat and calories; generally, if I’m going to indulge in a potato, it’ll be of the mashed variety.

But I’ll make an exception for Route 11’s dill-pickle-potato chips, a crispy, tangy combination of two of my favorite foods. Sure, their fat and calorie content might scare off the dieters among us (seven grams of fat and 140 calories per approximately 18 chips), but frankly, the things are tasty enough to help you overlook the risk of increased bodily bulk. Better yet, these chips don’t need dips or hummus to spice things up; they’re yummy enough all on their own. And to enjoy this particular pickle flavor, you don’t have to kill yourself trying to get the damn jar open.

Available for $2.69 for a six-ounce bag at Zathmary’s, 299 Harvard Street, in Brookline.
