When did chips get so complicated

[SpursforSix]

Back in the day, it was Fritos, Cheetos, Doritos, Lays, or Ruffles.

I used to love just plain Doritos.

I've always hated Cheetos.

Why things gotta be so tricked up now.

History[edit (http://www.spurstalk.com/w/index.php?title=Potato_chip&action=edit&section=1)]

The earliest known recipe for potato chips is in William Kitchiner (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/William_Kitchiner)'s cookbook The Cook's Oracle (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/William_Kitchiner#The_Cook.27s_Oracle), first published in 1817, which was a bestseller in England and the United States. The 1822 edition's version of recipe 104 is called "Potatoes fried in Slices or Shavings" and reads "peel large potatoes, slice them about a quarter of an inch thick, or cut them in shavings round and round, as you would peel a lemon; dry them well in a clean cloth, and fry them in lard or dripping".[2] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-2)[3] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-William_Kitchiner-3)

Early recipes for potato chips in the United States are found in Mary Randolph (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Mary_Randolph)'s Virginia House-Wife (1824),[4] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-4) and in N.K.M. Lee's Cook's Own Book (1832),[5] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-5) both of which explicitly cite Kitchiner.[6] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-6)

Nonetheless, a legend associates the creation of potato chips with Saratoga Springs, New York (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Saratoga_Springs,_New_York), decades later.[7] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-booktmp-2013-7) By the late 19th century, a popular version of the story attributed the dish to George Crum (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/George_Crum), a half African, half Native American (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Native_American) cook[8] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-fox-8)[9] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-sfss-2003jul03-9) at Moon's Lake House (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Moon%27s_Lake_House), who was trying to appease an unhappy customer on August 24, 1853.[10] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-10) The customer kept sending his French-fried potatoes (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/French-fried_potatoes) back, complaining that they were too thick.[11] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-inventor-11) Frustrated, he sliced the potatoes razor thin, fried them until crisp (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Crispiness) and seasoned them with extra salt. To Crum's surprise, the customer loved them.[12] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-12) They soon became called "Saratoga Chips",[13] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-13) a name that persisted into at least the mid-20th century. A version of this story popularized in a 1973 national advertising campaign by St. Regis Paper Company, which manufactured packaging for chips, said that Crum's customer was Cornelius Vanderbilt (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Cornelius_Vanderbilt).[8] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-fox-8) Crum was renowned as a chef and by 1860 owned his own lakeside restaurant, Crum's House.[8] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-fox-8)

In the 20th century, potato chips spread beyond chef-cooked restaurant fare and began to be mass-produced for home consumption. The Dayton, Ohio (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Dayton,_Ohio)-based Mike-sell's Potato Chip Company (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Mike-sell%27s_Potato_Chip_Company), founded in 1910, identifies as the "oldest potato chip company in the United States".[14] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-14)[15] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-15)[16] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-dbj-2012may14-16) New England-based Tri-Sum Potato Chips, originally founded in 1908 as the Leominster Potato Chip Company, in Leominster, Massachusetts (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Leominster,_Massachusetts) claim to be America's first potato chip manufacturer.[17] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-17)[18] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-18) Chips sold in markets were usually sold in tins or scooped out of storefront glass bins and delivered by horse and wagon. The early potato chip bag was wax paper (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Wax_paper) with the ends ironed or stapled together. At first, potato chips were packaged in barrels or tins, which left chips at the bottom stale and crumbled.

The Potato Chip Blues

woke up this mornin'
bout the break a day
had a cravin' for potato chips
had to be Lays

so I stuck out my thumb
had to hitch hike
had to have some potato chips
befo' night

I got them potato chip blues
what can I say
can't be no Cheetos
has to be Lays

finally I got me a bag
smiles from ear to ear
a big bag of Lays
and an ice cold beer

I got them potato chip blues
what can I say

[baseline bum]

Chili Cheese Fritos and Flaming Hot Cheetos invalidate all the old flavors, sucka.

[InRareForm]

lime flaming hot cheetos are good

Oh yeah...that reminds me...I love Chili Cheese Fritos. And I love the texture of the Honey BBQ twists. Would it be too fucking much to ask them to make the Chili Cheese in a twist??? Those fuckers know exactly what they're doing.

So I can either buy the flavor I really like OR the texture I really like. Thanks faggots.

[SpursforSix]

Don't get me wrong...I buy all that shit. But is my life any better? Maybe all that flavor powder is good for me.

And Cheetos are just weird. I'll eat them but never buy them.

Pringles are damn good. So are Lays stacked.

"Chip n' Dip"

my baby loves chip and dip
in the worst way
she eat's them every night
and every day

yes she's big
yes she's fat
but when it gets cold
I like it like that

she loves those Ruffles
and them Cheetos too
actually any chip or dip
will do

empty bags and cans
on the kitchen floor
but as long as she's happy
might as well buy her some more

hate to see what would happen
if she ever ran out
big tears in her eyes
and that no chip and dip pout

Flaming hot cheetos doused in lime juice and twang pickle salt :tu

Fuego Takis are also the shit

Pringles are not chips broski.. The court has already ruled on this

Trust me little guy...Pringles are chips.

Hell yes on Takis. How did it take so long to figure out rolling up the chip. But there is no possible way to eat a bag of Takis without your fingers being covered in seasoning.

Ruffles sour cream is the Goat chips of all time.

Kettle Chips. Tough to be a truly crunchy potato chip. One made of pressed flames never have that authentic texture. Lays Kettle Mesquite BBQ and Kettle Chips New York Cheddar are great.

[Spurtacular]

I like innovation; but I can relate with the OP yearning for a simpler time.

[DMC]

The Ruffles are good with Frank's Red Hot.

[DJR210]

Speaking of Frank's I'm talking bout some beer battered buffalo scrimps

And when I was younger I didn't like them because they'd get stuck in my teeth and I'd be embarrassed. Now? Please.

No, not chips, but, those Puffs would get chewed up and stuck in there.
