Chips, along with french fries, are one of the masters of the world culinary order. Addictively tasty and even more beloved because of its crunchy effect, it is part of many menus and recipes. And as a garnish, and in the main or supporting role, the world can not get enough of it.
And do you know where and how he started his victorious campaign? And his birth, like that of many great creatures in the kitchen, came almost by accident.
It happened in the 19th century and was created by George Krum, a chef at Moon Lake Lodge, in Saratoga Springs, New York. On August 24, 1853, he had a very difficult client - a lover of good food and extremely pretentious. He is believed to have been the influential railway tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt. The entrepreneur returned his plate of french fries twice because, in his opinion, they were too thick.
Very irritated, George Krum decided to teach this sorrel a good lesson and cut the potatoes into as thin slices as possible. Contrary to all his expectations, however the chips charmed the tycoon with his taste and reaped great success. Then George Krum decided to include it in his menu and even make it a specialty of the restaurant. Very soon chips became a specialty of the city and very quickly received the name Saratoga Chips.
Unfortunately, George Krum was an African-American and failed to patent his invention.
In fact, the chips from that time were eaten hot and didn't look much like them today's chipswhich is served at room temperature. However, George Krum can be credited with another innovation. In the late 1950s, he opened his own restaurant and placed a bowl of cold chips on each table. This is becoming his trademark.
But it took another 73 years for the chips to jump from restaurant tablecloths to picnics and on the streets. And this is thanks to a Californian woman who in 1926 began selling it in packages. And so the chips turn in the most famous nomad, which can now be eaten anywhere.
So his fame began to spread, but his real boom came after 1942, when the chip machine was invented by Herman Lay, a peddler in the American South.
Today, Lay's is one of the most famous brands of chips in the United States and even in the world.
And where do you eat the most chips? One recent study shows that Britain and the United States are the two largest consumers of delicious crispy potatoes in the world.
