There are mills on the packages so I assume Dutch as in the Netherlands?

Must be really old then. I've never seen these in my life

As for me:
Smiths Nibbit.
Kiddies chips but I like the taste.

I like Miss Vickies (peanut oil greasy, thick, old-style, sea salt) and others like them. Lays are still pretty good but I'm certain they aren't as good as they were years ago. Back then they were made exclusively with peanut oil, something which made them different from all the rest. I don't mind munching on thick piles of Pringles as well.

The best I've had were "vegetable chips", freshly made from various root-tuber vegetables and served with room service at Hotel de la Montagne in Montreal. I hate beets, but when they're made into chips, they are deadly good.

Whomever mention Zapps Chips, thumbs up.

If you yankee types ever get the chance to try Zapps, DO IT. Especially the Cajun Crawtators. Man, those thinks kick much assage.

Yup, I like Miss Vickie's too! In fact, I also like Mr and Mrs Vickie's too but I don't seen to see them anymore. It used to be a strictly Canadian product, but Frito-Lay bought it so we can buy it in US too.

I also like Kettle Chips

No, it's "Dutch" as in "Minnesota"

. It's pretty much a regional thing, I guess (upper Midwest, USA). Never really gave the name much thought. That's just what they've always been called in my isolated existence. I think they're sold in parts of Canada as well. Old Dutch has been around as long as I can remember (35+ years).

I buy 'em every time I get back to the old home state (Minnesota). MMMMM

The Pearson's Salted Nut Rolls and the Nut Goodies are really tasty too (more regional goodies).

I've heard of "Pensilvania Dutch" (or someting like that) so I did consider other Dutch things, but why the mills? Is Minnesota known for its mills too? Is that why it's called Dutch?

Pringles!

The UK headfiers should know what I am talking about.
The Cracked Pepper with sea salt flavor is best described by this:

Diabolically GOOD!

Lisa,
As far as I know, it's nothing except a catchy name with a pretty logo to go on the package. No, to my knowledge, Minnesota is not known for having mills. That being said, they do grow a lot of crops in the state (corn, wheat, barley, etc...).

There are other things that Minnesota is known for: Governor Jessie "the body" Ventura, Prince, Judy Garland, Bob Dylan, Hubert Humphrey...
