Blue Corn Chips



If you’re paying a lot of attention to these posts and pictures–and I hope you are–you may have noticed something: I mention blue corn chips for the black bean queso dip, yet all the chips on the party pick plate are, well, yellow. Don’t worry, I’m not color blind and neither are Johnny and Jill. True blue corn chips are nearing extinction in Bartow County. The only blue corn chips Johnny can find are yellow corn chips that have been dyed blue. That sounds a bit hinky to me and Johnny doesn’t want to serve dyed corn chips to his customers. So in the absence of naturally blue corn chips, we’re sticking with yellow.


According to Johnny, JMS is committed to avoiding oddly dyed or enhanced foods. They strive to get fresh veggies. They make their own sauces from scratch, rather than just enhancing store-bought products.


I’m pretty sure a bit of blue dye isn’t going to hurt me, but I like knowing that Johnny is very careful about what he puts into the food we eat.
