A Conversation for Potato Crisps - A History

Vestboy Started conversation Dec 7, 2006
When I was very young (pre cheese and onion) my brother who worked in the fruit and veg market in Birminham brought home an unusual tip. A farm which he went to to pick up a potato order was also making its own crisps. They gave him a huge hessian potato sack of crisps. At first it was great fun eating massive handfuls of an otherwise compatatively unusual treat. then we realised that we would not be able to eat them all before they went soggy so we gave them away to the neighbours who were most appreciative.
Thanks for a great article!

Not great for the old arteries, but big hessian sacks-full of crisps sound like a kid's dream.

Great story Vestboy, and what a 
way to date yourself 'pre cheese and onion'. 
By that standard my significant other is mid-late blue bag and I'm early cheese n onion.

BC&O could replace AD or even BC if it happened ever so long ago.

Before George Crum, BGC would be the pre-history dark ages.
