Crisped Nutrition

Chips, crisps, whatever you call them; they are thin slices of potatoes that have been deep fried and left to mummify ahead of casual ingestion.

Health food shops led the charge. They introduced beetroot chips, sweet potato chips and those made from other less obvious vegetables.

Now Coles and Woolies have the interlopers as well.

The consumers, well for some reason they seem to think that if their oxidised and saturated fat is absorbed into some vegetable other than potato that they are doing their bodies a favor.

But I digress. This blog is all about the full square meal. Meat, potato and two veges.

All that’s missing from the menu is meat chips.

The closest proxy that I can think of is meat jerky which doesn’t come even close to being a chip.

Then there’s the slice of salami forgotten at the back of the fridge. This dessicated relic gets a lot closer but usually defies fracture mechanics.

A chip is crispy but fragile. We would all accept this fact. Teeth are optional right?

So the challenge to the food technologists, the Dr Mengele’s of our time; please make us a meat chip.

Then the next time we are out on the tiles and forget to eat dinner, we can simply buy a meal in a bag.

A completely chipped full square meal comprised of meat chips, potato chips, and variety added by different combos of chips made from two other veges.

Guilt-free fast food consumption, that’s the future.
