One of the finalists in the running for the Lay's Canada 'Do Us a Flavour' contest is Butter Chicken, suggested by Darryl Francispillai, who took inspiration from his own South Asian heritage and the province of Ontario. The Butter Chicken Lay's flavor is one of four possible new potato chip flavors that was influenced by the vibrant multiculturalism of the country.
While exotic potato chip flavors have been in high demand over the past few years, rather than drawing from a simple flavor or ingredient, many snack brands are now attempting to replicate the essence of entire cultural meals.
Other unusual flavors that are in the running for the Lay's Canada Do Us a Flavour contest until the end of September include Cowboy BBQ Beans, Montreal Smoked Meat and PEI Scalloped Potatoes.
