Sensible Erection | No more boring chips!

quote [ Behold: The Edible Glass Potato Chip

This chip is stunning. It's see-through like no other food. It has the distinct crunch and flavor of a potato chip, but in an unexpected space-age form. ]

We need a food category for our posts, dammit...

I want to add food coloring to them to make stained glass chips, and maybe try adding some Tabasco and other flavorings as well.

My girlfriend had an idea for a fork similar to this, except the handle of the fork was shaped to be a squid's head with fork tines being the tentacles.

I used to own a whisk build on that idea. It was pretty cool, actually. I called it the squisk.

Cool, but completely unnecessary if a person eats spaghetti in the proper way (fork and spoon).

Also, who points a forkful of spaghetti straight down anyway?

Italians don't eat spaghetti the "proper" way.

Spaghetti should be eaten with a knife only.

I teach my children to only eat spaghetti with a conveyor belt and a system of pulleys.

As with all foods, best blended then drank from a glass.

I was taught to twirl a small amount of spaghetti against the plate and lift it with the fork level. I've never cut up spaghetti or used a spoon to twirl it. I often feel unusual in this.

I do this as well and I was taught that it's ok to bite the noodles that are holding on to a huge clump and let it fall. No problems except when I get too excited and make a noise with the plate. Then I still quickly duck expecting a hand at the back of my head.

How do you duck without getting a face full of marinara?

Spirali and penne are just so much better though. Why do people insist on long pasta?

Linguine and fettuccine are just so much better. Why do people insist on short pasta?

Different pasta (shapes) are for different sauces and applications.

"Let's be honest: Potato chips are boring. "

Let's be really honest: If potato chips were really boring, people wouldn't eat those unhealthy treats to the point of obesity, and entire aisles of grocery stores wouldn't be dedicated to them.

If a person finds potato chips boring, they should probably count their lucky stars and not eat them.

That said, these are cool, and I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to make specific shapes.

granitewitch said @ 7:20pm GMT on 25th Jun
I can't say that I'm likely to make these often, but for a party they'd be pretty amazing.

ckfahrenheit said @ 6:08am GMT on 26th Jun
I think you win a free game if you can make them with ridges for dipping

Missionary position is kind of boring too, but they're both still better than eating a stupid carrot.

If missionary position is boring, you're either doing it wrong, or you're doing it with the wrong person.

Isn't this effectively just deep fried sugar?

And?

All of our previous experiments with deep fried sugar have been delicious.

He can't just report the actual temperature of the frying oil? Fuckface. Also, if chips are so boring, why duplicate their shape? He could've done any shape.

I suppose chips in the shape of a baby's foot has a certain appeal.

Use cookie cutters to pour it into on the paper. I'll be you can get a foot shaped one.
