As a world food, potatoes are the second in human consumption (消耗量) only to rice. And thin,
salted and cooked potato chips are Americans' favourite snack food.
French fries were popular in France in the 1700s. And the recipe was brought to America by
Thomas Jefferson. In the summer of 1853 , American Indian George Crum had a job as a cook at a
beautiful place in Saratoga Springs, New York. His job was to make French-fried potatoes for the
guests.
Once, a guest found Crum's French fries too thick for him and asked Crum to do it again. Crum cut
it thinner,but the man still wasn't satisfied. Crum was very angry and decided to teach the guest a lesson.
And then he put too much salt on it.
To Crum's surprise, the guest liked the paper-thin potatoes very much, and other diner asked Crum's
potato chips, too. Soon they were sold, first locally, then all over the New England area.
