I know I’ve written at length at how appalled I was at the idea of Clamato in the past, but I think I’ve softened. When I visited Toronto last year, a few friends introduced me to the “Bloody Caesar,” Canada’s favorite cocktail, which takes the tomato juice out of the Bloody Mary and replaces it with Clamato. I’m not saying I’ve run out to buy gallons of the stuff since, but it’s no longer to the point where I can’t look at a bottle of it in fear of nausea. With that testimonial out the way, I’d like to formally introduce you to Clamato tortilla chips, followed by several exclamation points inside parenthesis.
They’re honestly not bad. I detected no clam presence, with the chips feeling more like “tomato juice chips,” so heavily salted that they could’ve very well been forged with snake broth and nobody would notice. I kind of wish they were gross because it’d make for a more interesting story, but I think the mere fact that Clamato has been realized as a tortilla chip is story enough. By the way, this is your Saturday Night Thread.
