These aren't chips off the old block

In the beginning, chips meant corn and potato. Then came Terra veggie chips and it was good. Now entire entrees, it seems, are available in chip form.
Risotto Chips ($2.99, 5 ounces) from New York Style are a bit of a misnomer. They're crunchy and chippy, not creamy and cheesy like their Italian namesake. Made with flour from whole grain brown and arborio rices, they also contain vegetable oil, corn and pinto beans and flax and sesame seeds.
Like true falafel, Organic Falafel Chips ($5.99, 8 ounces) are made with chickpeas and spices, including cumin and coriander, plus organic veggies galore including carrot, red pepper and tomato. They contain no wheat, dairy, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors and a have pleasantly grainy, beany taste.

They are, according to the bag, ``the world's first and only chips created for hummus dip.'' It pays to specialize. The chips are round and robust with a gentle curve making them perfect for dipping.
