la revolución de patatas fritas

homage to the potato chip.

spawned in the summer of 1853

these sliced succulent deep fried wonders

resulted from the demands of a complaining customer

whose bullshit led our man, a one,

mr. george crum

to do his best to satisfy the putz in question by

replacing the humdrum n’ waterlogged n’ sodden,

slithery,

pommes de terre

with

his

new

&

improved

(as thin as could possibly be imagined),

drenched in salt,

deep fried & sizzling,

immaculate conception.

 

and as you can imagine, mr. cornelius vanderbilt

(said unruly customer),

whom mr. crum felt would most assuredly send back the creation he just made,

again,

for his money back,

instead

had something of an orgasm of the taste buds!

 

and so these

“saratoga chips”

came to be the next big thing---

satisfying lovers of starch, grease & salt, everywhere.

 

it didn’t take long for word to get to canada where they buried them things in

dill pickle,

ketchup,

jalapeño & cheddar,

salt n’ pepper,

roast chicken---or to

austria where they soak em’ in garlic, bulgaria, where paprika is the taste of the day�"

& colombia boasts

mayonesa y limón,

egypt popularized the kebob & stuffed vine leave essence of zest,

you got oregano chips in greece

you got the overwhelming majority chomping down the tayto’s in ireland

whereas in

russia

it is caviar, crab and

shashlik

which make the people salivate.

 

regardless of where you are or what you are doing

you can get some kind of potato chip

yes,

you can suck down that sodium & grease

mmmmmmmm

i

myself

am currently in something of a sour cream n’ onion phase---

and i must say

i praise the day

that crum went back in the

kitchen

&

angrily

whipped up a batch of

yummyness

for

vandy

to

suck

down---

commencing

la revolución de patatas fritas.
