It makes you wonder.
After I wrote my last snippet about the 'home made' crisps, I got to
thinking "Who first made Fish 'n' Chips." Like crisps, it's not something
covered by Adam Hart - Davis who seems to be very keen on the Victorians
and the Romans.
HMM "Pisces et Crispi."
But then again. Those people at McD call them 'French Fries'" and the
French call them "Pommes frites." lit: 'fried potatoes. Prhaps I'm looking
at the wrong country.
Spuds come from America and the smaller you chop them, the quicker you
can
fry them, it makes sense.
Except, the French would have given them an SI unit. Say,
'HectoPasteurs.'
A piece of Pomme de Terre, 1 cm squared by 5 cm long with a pice of
Poisson with a mass of 1 Newton, heated to 373 Kelvins.
No. I think it was probably the Yanks to blame. After all, they took the
pizza and turned it into Junk food.
Many years ago, an injun (sri Native American) called Little Chef, sat
by his camp fire and chopped up potatoes with his tomahawk (no NOT the
Cruise missul!) The plains Ind.. err Native Americans, used a piece of
chopped
Buffalo (especially in NJ.) but Little Chef was a sea shore Injun and he
chopped up fish, dropped them into deep, boiling fat, then took them into
the teepeee for supper for his squaw.
Then along came Mc Donald and the rest is history. Hows that?
