It is a favorite time for the hosts of “Today” to talk about food. At 7 a.m., people who get up at 3 a.m. or earlier may want some strange foods. Early mornings might make Savannah Guthrie eat her favorite fast food or Al Roker talk about his perfect breakfast sandwich. Along with these food-related talks, one news anchor’s controversial snack choices stand out: Hoda Kotb.
Hoda’s Unusual Snacking Habits
Hoda Kotb’s co-anchors are often confused or amused by her strange snack tastes. For example, she likes to snack in bed and enjoys melty cheese with crackers.
She always manages to surprise her co-hosts. Her strange eating habits are funny, especially when she shares her newest snack combinations, which make people laugh.
Kotb made news again with her latest food discovery on March 4, which was National Snack Day. Although her co-anchors talked about their favorite snacks Guthrie with Doritos, Carson Daly with beef jerky, and Dylan Dreyer with Ruffles and onion dip, Hoda did something different. Somewhat unusually, she ate Fritos with French onion dip.
With French Onion Dip and Fritos, You Have the Perfect Snack
Hoda delightedly showed her co-anchors her favorite snack, saying, “My favorites are the scoop Fritos.” Do you know why you need a scoop? So that you can get the onion dip. A French onion dip is my favorite.
The statement she made made her coworkers curious and hesitant. Strangely, Dreyer said, “I’ve never had that combination!” “It’s really good,” she said right after trying it, and Guthrie couldn’t help but agree.
Fritos Scoops are the heartier form of the original corn chip for dipping. Their sturdy design means they can handle the thick, creamy texture of French onion dip without breaking, making them perfect for this tasty mixture.
Looking for the Best Dip
While Frito-Lay makes bean dip, jalapeño cheddar cheese dip, and mild cheddar cheese dip that are all perfect for Fritos, they don’t make a French onion dip just for Fritos.
Some people may be confused about why they never thought to eat corn chips with this smooth dip before this discovery. But let Hoda Kotb make a new eating path!
However, she did not say which brand of French onion dip she usually buys, so there are many to choose from in shops. Perhaps she likes Frito-Lay’s canned variety better, or she might prefer the well-known chilled varieties from companies like Heluva Good! or Dean’s.
Given her preference for keeping things simple, she might even make her dip by mixing a package of Lipton’s Onion Soup Mix with sour cream and maybe a dash of mayo to make a quick and tasty version.
Tailgating Favorite
Whichever she chooses, one thing is certain: Kotb’s unusual snack mix will become a hit with both watchers and football fans, especially during the season.
Many chips and dips are usually available at tailgating parties and other relaxed get-togethers, so her Fritos and French onion dip mix could quickly become the most popular snack.
Honda has a history of creating food that makes people happy and curious. With her newest discovery, it’s easy to picture parties where people laugh and eat chips while enjoying her lovely pair.
A New Twist on Ritz Crackers
Random aside: It’s fun to think about how Hoda’s favorite snack, Ritz crackers, would do in a French onion dip situation. Indeed, those fluffy, buttery snacks are famous for being flexible.
Consider this: buttery Ritz crackers dipped in a rich French onion dip. The crackers are filled with flavor and greatly contrast the dip. It might make Kotb’s snack options even more appealing.
Conclusion
People’s food choices are often boring, so Hoda Kotb stands out by being open to trying new things. Although her choice of Fritos and French onion dip might seem strange initially, these unusual pairings make eating fun.
When she makes her creative snack ideas public or private, people will be encouraged to try new things in the kitchen.
Try following Hoda’s lead the next time you’re at a tailgate or throwing a party. Your friends will be surprised when you bring some scoop Fritos and their favorite French onion dip.
Hoda shows us that it’s always worth trying new things with food. You never know; you might find your new favorite snack.
