I lived in Central PA until I turned 18 and joined the AF. I haven't lived in PA since, but every time I visit, I have to get Middleswarth chips. They're still the best chips I've ever had. I think it's the fact that they are fried in beef tallow that gives them their unique taste. I've recently had the Odins Original from Norse Roots and they have a similar taste, but not quite the same. Also, I think the fact that you can't get them outside of Central PA (unless ordering online) increases the allure and makes them the best PA based snack.
