If they were "raw" they'd not be crisp.

If they were "undercooked" they'd not be the single most popular potato
chip in the WORLD!

Provincialism again...

It's like watching America's Test Kitchen - you least coasters have
these walls of non-entry to products the rest of the nation takes for
granted!

True.

So you have yet /another food handling issue/ there, no surprise as I
have seen what passes for fresh fruit in your stoopidmarkets.

Shameful, bruised up, nasty old pussy ploppers.

And yet:

Crunch
It may have been because of the oil, but these thin and crispy Chips did
not seem as crunchy as some of this nature. It took a few to get a good
crunch going and they quickly turned to mush.

Texture
These were standard, no frills, basic and simple Chips. Upon which, many
will happily base their quality. There was a sizeable amount of grease
visible on Chips that were liberally oil bubbled and not visibly seasoned.

Taste
We are not the biggest fans of Natural, Original, Regular or whatever
else Chips companies call their flavor-free Chips, at Chips & Crisps.
These tasted a little oily potato to our unrefined palates.
