5. pork can take on so many flavors, though
some cuts can taste like chicken - bacon and sausage both have individual flavors, as does the pork chop and the pork loin.

So, I don't really know what a pork flavor is.

My wife tasted a hint of pickles when she had one of the chips.

6. interesting, about the pickLes
Ingredients

The traditional Cuban sandwich is made with Cuban bread. The bread is cut in half and buttered on both sides. Dill pickles, roast pork, ham, and Swiss cheese are thinly sliced and added in layers. The roast pork is an essential ingredient and to be authentic it needs to be marinated in mojo (a Cuban garlic/citrus marinade) and slow roasted. The sandwich is then lightly toasted in a sandwich press called a "plancha", very similar to a panini press, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted. The press both heats and compresses the sandwich. A traditional Cuban sandwich includes yellow mustard, but never mayonnaise, lettuce, or tomato.

The same ingredients are also used on a smaller bread made from a sweeter yellow egg dough and called a medianoche or "midnight" sandwich, so named because of the sandwich's popularity as a midnight after-Clubs snack in the 1940s and 1950s.

7. I had a Cuban sandwich
in Miami earlier this year, but from what I heard, it was not as good as some. (I got it from Dave's on Miami Beach)

9. Tried it, but still can't pin the flavor down
There's three cheeses as well as paprika in the mix. Doesn't really remind me of cheeseburgers.

11. I think I tried those....
I KNOW I bought a bag of trial flavor Doritos. Definitely came in a black bag. I'm just not sure what they were called.

Tasted like fish sticks to me. Had to dump out the bag. Nahsty.

12. I can't belive the public is willing to eat mystery doritos
the very thought turns my stomach. Mass produced food of unspecified flavor? May it never be!

13. I thought it was a cheeseburger--specifically a
Edited on Tue Jun-19-07 04:56 PM by fishwax
poor quality cheeseburger a little too heavy on the ketchup and pickles and light on the onions.

I like my burgers pretty plain--meat, cheese, maybe BBQ sauce, but nothing else ... when I bit into that first X-13D chip, I immediately recognized it as the taste from the last time I forgot to check a fast food burger to make sure they made it plain. X(

The good news is, they taste better after a few drinks. (The bad news: not much better.)

14. i did think cheeseburger when first eating them
but changed my mind after a few handfuLLs..... during this thread, i was eating them, and thinking of cheeseburger, and i so couLdn't see it.

hence, i'm sticking by my initiaL guess of cuban sandwich.

15. I would like the cuban sandwich guess, but for two reasons
I hadn't thought about that until reading it in your OP, but that could make some sense too. Two drawbacks, though:

(a) Doesn't the bag talk about an "all-american" flavor?
(b) A Cuban sandwich flavor--the popularity of all things Cuban aside--seems a little too on the edge for Doritos, at least to me.

If they release the actual flavor and it isn't a Cuban sandwich, you should probably send them the suggestion, though :)
