1/4 oz. pine and rosemary honey syrup (you cannot go home again)

Crisps / Chips again

Associated with this post, here's an artefact, two anecdotes and an opinion.

The artefact is a slightly dented but still remarkably airtight "Charles Chips" tin.

It was bought, full, many years ago from the Vermont Country Store, from whom we subsequently bought reflll packs - given their size, "sacks" would be more accurate - which were shipped to Ireland in sturdy cardboard boxes.

VCS no longer carry Charles Chips in either tin or refill. I know. I checked. BUT...

The Charles Chips company, which per Wikipedia was doing just fine in 1990 then got sold and went bankrupt twice in less than three years (gosh!) is Back In Business, and note has been taken, with considerable interest - oh, you bet - that they do international shipping...

*****

Anecdote No. 1 is from when @dduane lived in Bala Cynwyd near Philadelphia, in what was known as "The House of Dangerously Single Women" (ahem). She tells me that the household used to get Charles Chips delivered to the door about twice a week, by the company's own vans.

Speaking as a long-time crisp fan, I found that both very neat and a source of mild envy. :->

Anecdote No. 2 is from 30-ish years ago, when we were in New York for something or other and, being rather jetlagged with our internal food clocks out of whack, did our usual thing and went out for a walk.

Curiously enough, this involved visiting several food stores and supermarkets where we bought a lot of Interesting Foreign or Much Missed (i.e. American, in both instances) junk food for grazing on back in our hotel room.

In one of them DD was about to lay claim to a huge bag of Wise potato chips (its bag would have been the design in the middle)...

...while nattering to one of the shop staff how much she missed them. He told her that a new delivery was expected in about 20 minutes and if she wanted to wait, she'd get much fresher chips.

And So It Came To Pass.

Well done, that guy!

*****

Finally, while Saratoga Springs may have been where potato crisps / chips were popularised, standardised, commercialised or whatever, it's definitely not where they were invented.

Even the oft-repeated "creation myth" frequently has its hard-to-please celebrity demanding to have his potatoes sliced and fried really thin "The Way I Had Them In France" - which kinda sorta suggests they were, um, being made there just like that well before the Saratoga thing happened.

Myths are okay, even marketing myths - so long as they're recognised as myths and not shilled as true by places with reputations like the Smithsonian.

*****

It's a bit like the still-current nonsense about spices being used in medieval kitchens to disguise bad meat. As far as I've been able to find out, this originated with a historian called J. C. Drummond in the late 1930s - yup, just before World War Two - simply because he didn't know his period terminology.

"Green" meant fresh - even nowadays, an inexperienced or immature person is "green" - so green cheese was newly made, and green meat was newly slaughtered, unaged and consequently tough and flavourless.

Just ask any steak fan the difference between a fresh steak and a 30-day dry aged one.

Drummond, in his overspecialised-scholarship wisdom, assumed that "green venison" meant meat which had gone off, and that a recipe to improve it with spices was to cover the bad smell and taste.

In fact it was somewhere between a marinade and a rub, meant to improve the tenderness and flavour of fresh meat as if it had aged for a while, thus shortening the waiting time between killing a beast and getting it to the table of a hungry court.

As I've said before, it's always easier for no-proofs-given pop history to dismiss medieval people as (insert derogatory observation here) than take the time needed to explain why and how they in their time were not that different to us in ours.

*****

PS: when looking for that previously posted stuff about green meat I found a post where, with even less evidence than Saratoga Springs inventing crisps, a Brit poster claimed Brits invented curry.

Snrk.

Among other more or less pertinent observations, I mentioned that what Brits invented was BRITISH curry, and anyone who has read "Nanny Ogg's Cookbook" will know what I meant by that... :->

Me and my sister made these mushroom cloud meringues from the Vault Dweller’s Cookbook yesterday and look how they turned out!!! It was super fucking humid yesterday but they still held their shape!!

We also made Nuka Cola syrup but we haven’t tried it JUST yet, I’m just so excited that these meringues worked :D they’re super fucking sweet so you can’t really have more than 1 but the sheer joy I feel when I see them makes it definitely worth it LMAO

this chilled soup would be so refreshing served on a hot summer day. if only it didn't take 2+ hours to make and have little yield for *checks recipe* 6 cups of chopped tomatoes, 1 red onion, 2 stalks of celery, 1 chile, 1 english cucumber, and 4 lobes of garlic

I made one. A croque royale. Croque monsieur with a fried egg, ham and extra cheese. Enjoy the moneyshot

[teecupangel]

Oh my gosh!!!!!! I didn’t know you had personal beef with chocorooms 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s amazing tho. I think the bamboo ones would be good too (*), and the chocorooms satisfy an old ‘I want to eat the mushrooms from Star Fox Adventures’ urge, lol, but I think the hello pandas are my favorite of the two. But I do like them both better then pocky. Pocky chocolate is too dark for me, I am a milk chocolate only kinda boi, or like…. Light dark chocolate, lol.

Hmmmm, random headcanons time:

I think Desmond would like Reese’s best maybe. But I think he would like most sweets, cause that was probably something he didn’t get a lot of as a kid. Very much so one of those thing he splurges on and tries everything new he sees.

And Altaïr would like… Snickers Bars, but I think he would be weird and put salt on them to be edgy. (I mean it’s probably good but he looks like a dummy, and Malik doesn’t let him live it down.) or like, salted caramel chocolate bars.

And Ezio would like… chocolate covered strawberries (or maybe those Brookside chocolate covered Açaí & Blueberry’s)

And Conner would like… for some reason I think he would those Big Reese’s with the pretzels in them…(Ok wait…. Wait, so like, your Project Eurydice Conner, bb Conner with one… maybe this is what I was thinking of the whole time, it’s probably way too big for him cause like they only come in king size, and those suckers are huge even for me!) But I also think maybe just a plain chocolate bar, but like fancy chocolate. Like, not just a plain old Hershey’s you know?

(*this got too long to put in the middle of that paragraph, oof:

I live in the Midwest of the US, so it’s hard to get anything here, all Japanese candies and snacks are usually in specialty stores that are expensive or like you have to order them, the chocorooms are available in most places tho so thats what I got🤪 even like… manga and stuff is only just catching up to the popularity it’s received in the rest of the country these last couple years, which is nice cause I’ve read manga since I was a teen, but like it should have been way sooner. I feel like I’m all over the place, but have you read any of the AC manga or comics?? I see them when I go to B&N now and I’m slightly tempted to pick up a volume but I’m not sure… also like, I am running low on book space lmao.) I shrunk these notes so hopefully it doesn’t make the ask too long, sorry if it’s weird lol.

(I wrote this ask… for SO long…. snacks are a serious subject. How did my chocolate ask get so long🙃)

AC Chocolate Headcanons!

I agree that Desmond would like most sweets and would be open to eating any and every sweet he sees. Honestly, I see Desmond preferring something with a burst of flavor and texture like Reese, like you said. I also like to think he likes packs with a variety of flavors like Skittles or Nerds (the duo pack or the rainbow ones)

Altaïr feels like someone who prefers something less sweet and more... not dark, just less sweet? Like Dairy Milk Salted Caramel maybe? Or something like Kitkat or Mars or Snickers. Something that is less chocolate and more chocolate-coated wafer.

Ezio would enjoy giving people those chocolates that has booze in them, just for fun. He'll try any chocolate and he says he doesn't have a favorite but his favorite would be something he can share with people like Toblerone or Pocky because he grew up with siblings and it's better to share snacks than try to eat everything before they get it. (He definitely tries to make people do the Pocky game with him because he thinks it'll be fun and he likes seeing people's reactions)

Connor's favorite chocolate is the chocolate cupcake his mom makes sometimes. When they want to be fancy, they put a small pretzel on the icing with crushed pretzels too. In general, I can see him liking chocolate with nuts in it?

============ AC Manga/Comics ============

I actually only have one AC comics at the moment. With all the AC merchs available, I had to prioritize because... money is finite. Anyway, I prioritized on any and all artbooks + cheap 2nd hand guides for the Desmond Saga 'cause I like artbooks.

BUT I do have the Reflections comics and I think it's nice. There are different versions, but this one (Amazon link) have all four volumes. It's like a mini-story with each volume focus on a different ancestor:

Ezio's volume is about how he knew the model for Mona Lisa

Altaïr's volume is how Darim assassinated Genghis Khan together with the Mongolian Brotherhood

Connor's volume is about his daughter who is so precious

and Edward's volume is about his ship getting boarded while he was underwater

Personally, I think it's worth it if you like any of the ancestors.

I personally like Connor's volume because, again, his daughter is adorable af and she can connect to her eagle like the protagonists of Layla's Trilogy.

I do love Altaïr's volume because I'm a sucker for the Ibn-La'Ahad boys and look at how cool Darim is:

The manga I only know of is mainly the Shao Jun mangas? I don't have that though so I can't know how canonically it is. The other comics usually focus on non-AC game protagonist characters and I can't say anything about them because I haven't read them. One of them does include how Juno dies though XD

============ Personal Choco Preferences ============

It's not a personal beef. I like chocorooms too. I just believe in chocoboos/chocoshoots supremacy. XD

Oh yes. Hello Pandas are the best. The way you bite into it and all the flavor just bursts into your mouth. That's waaayyy better. (disclaimer: I do prefer milk or strawberry flavor)

I prefer strawberry pocky XD. To be fair, I like strawberries in general so I tend to pick strawberry flavored snacks when they're available.
