Corduroy Crisps

This week, for our televisual snack of choice during our evenings of companionable TV viewing, we have mostly been partaking in ridge cut crips, which Eric calls "corduroy crisps" .........


.... due to their distinct "raised ridges (or wales) running lengthways", - many thanks to ChatGPT for this succinct description, when finding the right words failed me on this occasion.


We've gone all devil may care, as we've opted for McCoys, cheese and onion flavour, we all agreed to eat them together as a group, otherwise they can be a bit anti-social breath wise. 


We wouldn't want to make things unpleasant for any one one of us if they choose a less pungent flavour crisp, so as we all very much like the aforesaid cheese and onion, we always elect to eat our packets as a group, that way none of us notices each others honking breath, if that makes any sense? 


I know ....... what on earth are we like, if not considerate to others!!!!!!

Wales - a new one, on me. Thank you ChatGPT.

I'm a fan of cheese and onion, too. Be it a crisp, or a sandwich, with extra mature cheddar, and raw onion. Not that the aforementioned cheese is easy to find in Mexico. A few years ago, Costco did a wonderful Tillamook mature cheddar. Sadly, no longer.

For some reason, in the USA, they call mature cheese, sharp cheese.

I just Googled it, and "ChatGPT" stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer. Hmm.

I like McCoys but a bit abrasive on the old teeth I'm afraid, I'll stick with Tayto or Walkers, like the term corduroy - spot on! JantheFan x
