Someone got asked to peel half the potatoes in the bag. Did not expect this.

Interesting. Quite interesting.

Did you know that the potato chip was the result of an angry cook. Someone was complaining that the cook's french fries were too thick and had no flavor. As a way to get back at the customer, the cook sliced the potato slices almost paper thin and he salted it.

It turned out the customer liked it, it became a hit.

History of the Potato Chip


From the article:

1853 George Crum invents the Saratoga Chip, a thin French fry, now known as the potato chip
1960 Crum opened his own restaurant, featuring potato chips in a basket placed on every table..

How old was he?

From Wikipedia...

In 1860 Crum opened Crum's House, his own lakeside restaurant; according to popular accounts, he used profits made selling his chips, and was said to include a basket of chips on every table.

So either the article I posted had a typo, or Crum is a Time Lord.

Quest, if you'd looked at the quote I took from the article you'd have seen the typo that the hunter is referring to. I knew it was a typo, just my warped sense of humour had to ask how old he was...
