The Accidental Invention of the Best Snack Food Ever
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 11. 2015
- In 1853, George Crum was a chef at the Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, Ny. One day, a customer ordered fried potatoes. Upon being served, the customer scoffed and sent them back several times because of their soggy texture. But Chef Crum lost it. He fired back, cutting the potatoes paper-thin and frying them up. Back then eating with your hands was a major faux pas. But Crum’s plan backfired and the customer loved them. Soon thereafter, thin-sliced fried potato “chips” took the world by storm.

So basically:
Guy gets mad because fries quality is bad
Restaurant makes “revenge” fries
Turns out to be delicious
He didnt invent it: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kitchiner
No he gets mad because the fries aren’t crispy enough and the restaurant gets tired of hearing this complaints from him that they decide to prank him by cutting the potatoes so thin thinking he would be like wow that’s a little bit to much crunch but in the end it was exactly what he wanted and that’s how potatoe chips where invented
@@judgmenthasbeenpassed3160 Hey man don’t take my word for this, but I think.. I think that just may be what he said.
Well he said the QUALITY was the problem and I don’t think that was the problem it was that the fries weren’t thin enough

They probably would've been invented later on by someone else though.

Crum may have Popularized Potato Chips, but he didn’t invent them.
Recipes for frying potato slices were published in several cookbooks in the 19th century. In 1832, a recipe for fried potato "shavings" was included in a United States cookbook derived from an earlier English collection. William Kitchiner's The Cook's Oracle (1817) also included techniques for such a dish. Similarly, N. K. M. Lee's cookbook, The Cook's Own Book (1832), has a recipe that is very similar to Kitchiner's.
The New York Tribune ran a feature article on "Crum's: The Famous Eating House on Saratoga Lake" in December 1891, but mentioned nothing about potato chips. Neither did Crum's commissioned biography, published in 1893, nor did one 1914 obituary in a local paper.

Crum didn't invent chips/crisps
It was invented by a English man
Named William Kitchiner
crum clearly stole the recipe
From his cookbook tried
to pass it off as his own
Yooooooo they're back boiss!!
George Crum really just went “I’m going to create a snack food just to spite a customer” LOL
And they say revenge doesn't pay right?
Revenge is best served cold, not hot.
Johann Galilea I beg to differ. It's best served lukewarm with a hint of hot.

The story is true but this guy didn't invent chips.
That’s true, an English doctor invented Crisps or Chips as the Americans call them. Dr William Kitchener in a cook book called The Cook’s Oracle in 1817.

Dont think he actually invented the food since there's a recipe similar to chips in the UK dating around 1820s
But i do think that he first made the name for the food

Crum was not the first guy who made potato chips, with someone in Ohio already did this concept.
However, Crum, already a renowned chef as his time, made an already popular snack explode in popularity due to that one incident.
They were first made in England way before Crum.
Someone invented potato chips
Only in Ohio 💀
@@andy-gamer "Only in Ohio 💀" SHUT THE F็UCK UP YOU UNFUNNY 9 YEAR OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, that someone in Ohio, Mikesell's, announced their closure in Feb. 2023; less than two weeks later, another Ohio-based potato chip company, Conn's, brought a license to Mikesell's assets and brand to protect their legacy. Thought that was a hilarious coincident to point out.

@Todd Foret We don't "diss" anyone for the name difference. We were making "chips" long before your "French Fries" were ever discovered.
The dominant language at the time American soldiers came to Belgium to eat the fries was french, so Americans named them french fries.
I actually read about this when I was little in one of those 'fun fact' books. Feels nice.
