George Crum was a Native American/African American man working as a Chef in Saratoga, NY in 1853. One day a finicky patron placed an order for French-fried potatoes but kept sending them back to the kitchen saying that each dish was too soggy, or not salty enough, not crunchy enough! Finally Chef Crum had enough, and with a slightly sarcastic response, he very thinly sliced each potato and fried them, tossed them with extra salt and served them to the unpleasable patron who much to his surprise absolutely LOVED them! The potato chips then became a staple dish in the restaurant and became known as Saratoga chips. In fact, potato chips were not even called potato chips back then, only known as Saratoga chips for nearly 75 years.

7 African Americans who changed the way we cook and eat

February is African American History Month. To commemorate, we pay tribute to some of the African Americans in history who have made huge contributions to the way we prepare and eat food both here in California and all over the USA.George Washington Carver

George Washington Carver – Agriculture

George Washington Carver pioneered the growth of peanuts as an alternative to cotton to help sustain the farmers and their families and as a way to promote crop rotation. While he may not have been the actual inventor of peanut butter (it had been made as early as the Aztec peoples in Mexico) his interest in botany made him one of the earliest environmentalist in his time.

George Crum – Potato Chips

Purportedly, It was Crum who was responsible for creating potato chips as the customer he was serving at the time kept sending back his french fries for being too thick. Out of spite, he sliced a batch so thin, they became crispy after being deep fried. They were then brought to the customer, who actually enjoyed them, and thus one of the most popular snacks was born. Later in life, he opened up a restaurant in the resort towns of Malta, New York.

Joseph Lee – Bread kneading machine Joseph Lee’s Bread Kneading machine Source:blackinhistory.tumblr.com

A  successful baker, restaurateur and hotelier, Joseph Lee invented a machine that would take day old bread and turn it into crumbs used for cooking into other dishes, later on, he would invent a machine that would knead bread dough more efficiently, which would result in a higher quality product. This machine is the predecessor to all modern day bread makers and, for his efforts, he received a patent for both.Ashbourne’s biscuit cutter

Alexander P Ashbourne – Biscuit cutter

Something so insignificant as a cutter for biscuits might not be a big deal to us in the present, but during a time when biscuits were a staple on the dinner table, an invention like this ensures a consistently even batch each and every time. Another interesting fact: Alexander P. Ashbourne also patented a process for treating and refining coconut oil.Alfred Craelle’s Ice Cream Scoop Source: blackinhistory.tumblr.com

Alfred Craelle – Ice Cream Scoop

Inspired by the ineffective way that ice cream was being served to customers at the time, Alfred Craelle was the first African American in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to receive a patent for his invention of a more efficient ice cream scoop.Source: Minnpost.com

Frederick McKinley Jones – Refrigeration

in 1935, Frederick Jones created the first portable refrigeration units, making it possible to transport perishble items, including foods, over long distances. His creation saw heavy use in WW II not just for food, but for other perishables like medical supplies and blood packs.

Wallace “Wally” Amos – Founder of Famous Amos cookies

Wallace Amos had an interest in cooking growing up with his aunt, he was especially interested in his Aunt’s chocolate chip cookie recipe. After a career in both the US Air Force and then William Morris Agency,  In 1975, Mr. Amos set up his first cookie shop with a $75,000 dollar loan from Marvin Gaye and Helen Reddy. After selling the original company, he now operates a new comapny called “Uncle Noname’s Cookie Company” and then later on, founding “Uncle Noname’s Muffin Company” with a former distributor of his original company.

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH! 🤎🤎🤎

For Day 2, I wanted to give a list of black inventors and their inventions. Due to the whitewashing of history, many people don’t know about the revolutionary inventions that black people created. Some inventions were stolen by white inventors and patented so that these black inventors never got credit or revenue. There were also many instances of discrimination that didn’t allow black inventors to patent their inventions; they were often asked for extensive proof and sometimes, their inventions were destroyed and the ideas were given to white inventors to take credit for instead. Thankfully, that isn’t the case anymore and black inventors have ingrained themselves into history books and text. Let us look at some of the inventions that make life today much easier.

Michael Croslin(1933-1989): Blood Pulse and Monitoring Device

Frederick McKinley Jones(1893-1961): Roof Mounted Refrigeration for Vehicles

Garrett Morgan(1877-1963): Gas Mask and 3 Light Traffic Signal

Sarah Boone(1847-1904): Improved Ironing Board

Mary Van Brittan Brown(1922-1999): Home Camera Security System

Alexander Miles: Automatic Elevator Doors

Henry Brown(1800s):Safe Deposit Box

Alfred L. Cralle(1866-1920): Ice Cream Scoop

Lyda Newman(1898): Synthetic Hairbrush

Doctor Shirley Jackson: Breakthroughs in scientific research that allowed others to create call waiting, Caller ID, the portable fax and many others

Albert Richardson(1894): Casket Lowering System

Doctor Patricia Bath(1986): Invented Laser Probe that revolutionized cataract and other eyes surgeries, even restoring the sight of many individuals

George Crum(1824-1914): Potato Chips

Charles Drew(1904-1950): Blood Banks

David N. Crosthwait(1898-1976): Heating System

These are just a few of the hundreds of things black people have invented and so many of them are used to make life easier and better. So we thank all of these inventors for what they endured and the study they set forth to give us not only simple luxuries and pleasures but also advancements in medicine and science.

THANK YOU BLACK INVENTORS AND SCIENTISTS🤎🤎🤎🤎

The Fake (and real) History of Potato Chips

Did George Speck Crum invent Potato Chips?

It depends on how thin you think it should be to qualify as a chip.  He popularized a much thinner chip than had traditionally been made.  This became known as the Saratoga Chip.  He was apparently quite a skilled and renowned chef.

But, of course, he certainly did not invent frying potatoes in oil, even potatoes cut in thin slices.  He just popularized a thinner slice.

“Food history is replete with honored legends, creative stories, slightly twisted truths, unsupported claims, leaps of faith, and outright lies,” Olver explains.

Several foods have fallen victim to fakelore. Take one of our most beloved snacks—the potato chip. As folklorists William S. Fox and Mae G. Banner explain, many believe that the chip originated in Saratoga Springs, New York, in the mid-nineteenth century. After several complaints that his fried potatoes were sliced too thickly, a frustrated cook “sliced the potatoes paper thin, fried them in deep fat, salted them heavily, and served them up.”

A common version of the story holds that the cook’s name was George Crum, and the hard-to-please customer was shipping and railroad magnate, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. Variations on this story have been passed around since at least the late 1800s. But is any of it true?

Probably not, but the tall tale was helpful to at least one entity, the Potato Chip/Snack Food Association. The association and its public relations team were the likely culprit in introducing Vanderbilt as the unhappy customer. The wife of Cornelius Vanderbilt “Sonny” Whitney, the great-great-grandson of Commodore Vanderbilt, also capitalized on the chip’s mythology, publishing the Potato Chip Cookbook in 1977 and “publicizing potato chips and her cookbook in numerous newspaper articles and television appearances.” A local historian, who found no evidence of a Vanderbilt connection, called out Mrs. Whitney as an “opportunist who merely seized upon the potato chip story as a theme for one of her parties.”

So Daeron obviously got cut from the show... until George did something about it. I do wonder if this would change the plans for S2? especially with helaemond..

It would be interesting to see what they're gonna do on a short turn around - having to basically write a completely different show from Season 1 in about two months.

The one thing I do hope is that they have a good story and character explanation for why Daeron wasn't in Season 1. I've always maintained that they should drop that he was in the Stepstone Wars and off on adventures with Corlys, perhaps give him a reason that he stayed away for as long as he did. Perhaps he never got along with Viserys or that he had an ugly falling out with Alicent. Which, I mean, they do say that Daeron is Alicent's favorite child and that they're close.

But close doesn't mean happy.

In the book they do say that Daeron and Jace really - Really - didn't like one another and that their sparing matches in the yard were a bit ... too real. Perhaps Rhaenyra got Daeron sent away for outclassing Jace or perhaps in defending Aemond and Helaena from Aegon, Jace, and Luke - Daeron went too far and Rhaenyra went after him. Which would lead to why Alicent and Criston are so bitter in 1x06.

As for Helaemond, I mean, I go back and forth these days on if it was Sapochnik's idea or if it was Condal to add the crums. I tend to side on it being Condal since it seems to mirror of Aegon/Naerys/ Aemon love-triangle from sixty years in the future, and I somehow doubt we'll ever see that in Live-Action.

Either way, I couldn't say, really.

Black Inventors

#Black Inventors made countless contributions that made America great. Simple everyday practical innovations such as the mop (Thomas W. Stewart), dustpan (Lloyd Ray), fountain pen (William G. Purvis), pencil sharpener (John Love), eggbeater (Willis Johnson), a precursor to the modern tricycle (Matthew H. Cherry), ironing board (Sarah Boone), portable fire escape (Joseph Winters), the golf tee (Dr. George F. Grant), potato chips (George Crum), bread making machine (Judy W. Reed), or the pastry fork (Anna M. Mangin) made our daily lives better

[whartonists]

Happy one-year anniversary of The Gilded Age! (As well as, in a lovely twist, Edith Wharton’s 161st birthday.) To celebrate, I made a quintessential Gilded Age appetizer, and side, and breakfast dish--Saratoga Potatoes.

Agnes: Why does everyone have to go to Newport now? What’s wrong with Saratoga Springs? It was very fashionable when I was a bride. Ada: Exactly.

Though Saratoga Springs held onto popularity as a resort town longer than the show would suggest, its name also retained currency by association with other things associated with the wealthy, such as the adjoining Saratoga Racetrack--as well as a fried potato dish that was the forerunner of the modern potato chip.

Saratoga Potatoes, or Saratoga Chips, were thin fried disks of potato popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Though probably not invented in Saratoga Springs, as legend would suggest, they gained popularity by being served at the resorts there, and became inextricably associated with the town. In particular, chef George Crum, also known as George Speck, popularized the dish by serving it at the resort he worked for, and later in his own restaurant. Of mixed Mohawk and Black ancestry, Crum was nonetheless able to gain significant success and fame as a chef in Saratoga, and he and his sister, Catherine Wicks, became so closely associated with Saratoga Potatoes in particular that one or the other of them was often mythologized as the dish’s inventor.

Recipes for Saratoga Potatoes appear frequently in Gilded Age cookbooks; I primarily used the 1904 New York Times recipe, which I found here, because it was quite specific in its instructions and because I was intrigued by the fact that it specifically called for the chips to be fried in olive oil, rather than the much more common lard. However, I also used a trick mentioned in the 1885 cookbook The Kentucky Housewife, to drain the freshly fried chips in a colander rather than on paper towels (which I didn’t have) or kitchen towels (which I didn’t want to get all that grease on).

I think they turned out quite nice, though something like a cross between a modern potato chip and a french fry--they didn’t get as crisp as I would expect a potato chip to be, and had some of the chewy greasiness of a french fry. This may have also been in part due to my uneven potato slicing, as I confess I have nothing like the knife skills that would be expected of a 19th century cook.

Overall, though, a success and a great companion to my rewatch of 1.01. Happy Gilded Age day!

The Invention of the Potato Chip: George Crum 🥔🍟

Chips and Dip Day

Every year, Chips and Dip Day is celebrated on March 23. Chips and Dip Day celebrates a perfect snack — the combination that is irresistible to everyone. Chips and dip can be put together by anyone! It is a quick and easy dish you can whip up for parties or munch on as a snack. They make great snacks for games, picnics, children’s birthday parties, and more. The best thing about chips and dip is that they are loved by everyone irrespective of their age and the multiple flavor options mean there is something for everyone!

History of Chips and Dip Day

No one really knows how Chips and Dip Day came to be. However, both dips and chips have long been a part of the human diet. This delicious recipe for dips has existed for thousands of years, but humans did not always have dips with chips — it was more common to consume them with bread. The earliest dip to become popular is the Greek tzatziki. The recipe for it remains true to the original — a combination of yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, salt, and olive oil. This type of dip pairs well with meats, citrus fruits, and bread. Guacamole, a dip made with avocados and olive oil, was first made by the Aztecs.

The potato chip emerged thousands of years later. It is believed to have been invented in 1853 by a cook named George Crum. However, it was an invention of accident! A customer who kept returning his potato wedges annoyed Crum, saying that they were too thick. Eventually, Crum served the man potato slices so thin that when fried, he could see through them. He topped the fried potato slices with an excessive amount of salt. The customer, instead of sending back the food, actually loved it and that’s how potato chips were born.

At first, chips were a restaurant delicacy and by the 20th century, they were mass-produced for astonishingly cheap prices. But of course, potato chips are not the only chips that you can enjoy with dips. There are tortilla chips, corn chips, pretzel chips, and chips made from vegetables and fruits. Similarly, dips too can be of various flavors and are usually made with sour cream, cheeses, salsas, and seasonings. The combinations are endless and delicious.
