I think a lot of people like to think they are eating something foreign and thus more glamorous than your average crisp!<br /><br />I guess you won't have tried these bubble chips but can you comment on what New York deli relish might be? Or is that a UK invention too?<br /><br />Yes, I've read the Wiki page. It was updated only the other day I see. In fact I'm fairly sure their researchers read some of my posts which is rather gratifying.

I have asked several friends in other parts of the U.S. and they have not either. There are a couple of brands made from potato flakes rather than raw potatoes, but they don't have bubbles in them. <br /><br />Incidentally the origin story of potato chips in the United State was that U.S. Diner served UK style chips (what in the United States are called french fries - not crisp, and cut into straws or maybe wedges.) A customer was being a pain and kept complaining demanding they be sliced thinner, salted more and cooked longer. So the irritated chef sliced them as thin as possible, cooked them until crisp, and poured the salt on. To his surprise the custom er loved. According to Wikipedia this was probably a myth, and they were invented much earlier than the story tells. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_chip<br /><br />But as far as I can tell, bubble chips, at least done on purpose, are a UK invention! They certainly are not the original type of American potato chip!Typo Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555999976086888424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001460276674764776.post-89221361024003202862014-01-05T10:31:07.332+00:002014-01-05T10:31:07.332+00:00These bubble chips are a completely different text...These bubble chips are a completely different texture from accidentally bubbled "ordinary" crisps.
