Podcast appearances and mentions of george crum

This podcast recounts the accidental invention of the potato chip by chef George Crum in 1853, who created them to satisfy a demanding customer. It then details the significant contributions of Laura Scudder, a California entrepreneur, who revolutionized the potato chip industry by introducing sealed bags to maintain freshness and extending the product's shelf life. Scudder's innovations, including dating the bags, transformed potato chips from a niche product into a mass-market staple. The narrative highlights the evolution of potato chip production and packaging, from its humble beginnings to its billion-dollar global industry status today.

This is episode 198 — and good news!

With that unadulterated self adulation out of the way, back to 1853. As you know, this series constantly shuffles between world events of the time, and incidents and events in southern Africa. In China the Taiping Rebellion rolled on— a civil war between the Manchu-led Qing dynasty and the Hakka-led Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The war had started in 1850 and would only end in 1864. It's believed between 20 and 30 million Chinese died in this war, about the same number who died in World War One. By comparison, the 8th Frontier War which had just ended in the eastern Cape was trifling - unless of course you were one of the 16 000 amaXhosa or 1400 of the British soldiers and settlers who died. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was dreamed up by a prophet just like the 8th Frontier War. In the southern African case, Mlanjeni had fused Christian and amaXhosa cosmology into a generated a cult-like following. In China it was Hong Xiuquan, an ethnic Hakka man who had proclaimed himself to be the brother of Jesus Christ and who led the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Also in 1853, the first passenger railway in India began running between Bombay or Mumbai as it's now known, and Thana was inaugurated in 1853. In the same year, Manchester was granted city status in the UK, and the first public aquarium opened in London. Yellow Fever killed 8 000 Americans in New Orleans, that's one reason why we get Yellow Fever shots — because yes folks — it kills you as quickly as a vaccine hesitant with spasmodic dysphonia.

To stretch this metaphor further, perception is influenced by position, shaped by cultural, geographical and ideological positions. The closer you are to the event, the more intense it is. Thus, the Historical Doppler Effect. The Crimean War kicked off in October 1853.

Welcome to March 14th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate beautiful butterflies and being in the chips. Today we're talking Rhopalocera or butterfly as we regular folk know it. While butterflies are beautiful to look at, you may not know that they have a long and interesting connection to our art, culture, mythology and folklore. They appear in art from ancient Egypt and Mesoamerica where some were considered to be the reincarnation of the souls of dead warriors. In Ancient Roman and Greek cultures they represented a person's soul and butterflies can be seen on Christian tombstones as a representation of the resurrection. Across most of human culture, butterflies are used as symbols of our inner, spiritual selves and their metamorphosis has been used to show us what we can be. On National Learn About Butterflies Day, take a little time to watch a butterfly flutter by. The origins of the potato chip are hotly contested. Some say it was George Crum, a chef that tried to appease a customer who kept sending back his thick and soggy potatoes. This 1853 tale claims that the customer was none other than Cornelius Vanderbilt. The story was later debunked, but one thing is sure, Crum's Saratoga Chips spread like wildfire. Today potato chips are one of the world's most popular snacks. Around 11.2 million pounds of them are eaten on the Sunday of The Big Game alone. No matter how you flavor them, from barbecue to Cajun squirrel, yes that's an actual flavor, anyone who cashes in on making them is no doubt in the chips. On National Potato Chip Day, celebrate by munching on your own favorite flavor!  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

Lay of Nashville, Tennessee, was selling potato chips from the back of his car in the early 1930s.He soon became a successful distributor for a brand of potato chips, which were made in Atlanta, Georgia.When that company ran into financial problems, Lay arranged to buy them out.It now became H. W. Lay and Company.Meanwhile in Texas, Elmer Doolin was trying to sell chips made from corn dough.This was an old Mexican recipe, which Doolin had found in San Antonio, Texas.At first, these Fritos corn chips were made in Mr. Doolin's mother's kitchen.It took a few years before they sold very well.Mr. Doolin moved the company to Dallas and began to expand his market.In 1945, he granted the H. W. Lay Co. the rights to make Fritos corn chip for the American southeast.In 1961, the two companies merged to become Frito-Lay Inc.In 1965, Frito-Lay merged with Pepsi to become PepsiCo. Inc. one of the largest snack food and beverage companies in the world.In 2000, Frito-Lay sold 58% of all the snack chips in the U.S.A.In Canada and the United States, Frito-Lay products had sales of $9.9 billion.The most popular brand was Lay's potato chips, followed by Doritos, Ruffles, Tostitos, Cheetos, and Fritos.Internationally, Frito-Lay has 28% of the market worldwide.That amounts to $5.9 billion annually.Why are potato chips and corn chips so popular? Well, they are versatile.They can replace other forms of potatoes and corn.They can also come in various flavors.For example, potato chip flavors include ketchup, salt and vinegar, barbeque, dill pickle and cheddar.Potato chips can be thick or thin, ridged or flat, spicy or bland.Chips can be made from many things besides potatoes.But chips can also be made from sweet potatoes, parsnips, taro root, peppers and other vegetables.One caution about potato chips is that they are not a good source of nutrition.Parents who send their children to school with a bag of potato chips for lunch need to remember that these are just a snack.Because snack chips usually contain a lot of fat, they can also lead to weight gain.It is better not to eat snack chips too often and not to eat them instead of healthier foods.In Canada nearly $2 billion is spent on snack food every year and half of this is spent on chipsSpicy chips are gaining in popularity.The snack chip industry just keeps on growing.翻译薯片和玉米片故事说薯片是1853年在纽约州萨拉托加斯普林斯发明的。百万富翁科尼利乌斯·范德比尔特向厨师抱怨说，他的炸土豆片太厚了。厨师乔治·克鲁姆（George Crum）对此做出了回应，将土豆切成薄片，然后在热油中油炸。薯片一下子就成功了。许多公司在薯片上获得了巨大利润。最成功的品牌与Frito Lay公司有关20世纪30年代初，田纳西州纳什维尔市的赫尔曼·W·雷（Herman W.Lay）在他的汽车后面卖薯片。他很快就成为了一家在佐治亚州亚特兰大生产的薯片品牌的成功分销商。当那家公司遇到财务问题时，雷安排将其收购。于是它变成了H.W.Lay公司。与此同时，在德克萨斯州，埃尔默·杜林（Elmer Doolin）试图出售玉米面团制成的薯片。这是杜林在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥发现的一种墨西哥老食谱。起初，这些Fritos玉米片是在杜林先生母亲的厨房里制作的。过了几年，它们才卖得很好。杜林先生把公司搬到了达拉斯，并开始扩大他的市场。1945年，他授予H.W.Lay公司为美国东南部生产Fritos玉米片的权利。1961年，这两家公司合并成为Frito-Lay公司。1965年，Frito-Lay与Pepsi合并成为百事公司，是世界上最大的休闲食品和饮料公司之一。2000年，Frito-Lay在美国销售了58%的零食薯条。在加拿大和美国，Frito Lay产品的销售额为99亿美元。最受欢迎的品牌是乐事薯片，其次是多力多滋（Doritos）、Ruffles、Tostitos、奇多（Cheetos）和Fritos。在国际上，Frito-Lay在全球市场占有28%的份额。这相当于每年59亿美元。为什么薯片和玉米片如此受欢迎？嗯，他们多种多样。它们可以替代其他形式的土豆和玉米。它们也可以有各种口味。例如，薯片口味包括番茄酱、盐和醋、烤肉、莳萝泡菜和切达干酪。薯片可以是厚的或薄的，脊状的或扁平的，辛辣的或平淡的。除了土豆之外，薯片还可以用很多东西做。薯片也可以由红薯、欧防风、芋头、辣椒和其他蔬菜制成。关于薯片的一个警告是，它们不是很好的营养来源。带着一袋薯片送孩子上学的家长需要记住，这些只是一种零食。因为零食薯片通常含有大量脂肪，它们也会导致体重增加。最好不要经常吃零食薯片，也不要吃零食，而吃更健康的食物。在加拿大，每年有近20亿美元用于快餐食品，其中一半用于薯片。辣味薯片越来越受欢迎。零食薯片行业仍在增长

In 1853, chef George Crum was working in a Saratoga Springs, New York, restaurant when a customer, irritated by the thickness of his fried potatoes, sent them back to the kitchen. In a fit of pique, Crum sliced the potatoes wafer-thin, fried them and sent them back out. The customer loved them. And so were born potato chips. Stephanie Dalley, author of The Lost Gardens of Babylon, argues that the Hanging Gardens were in fact in the Assyrian city of Nineveh, not Babylon. She argues that the gardens were part of a series of gardens, including one at the palace of King Sennacherib in Nineveh. ### - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/curious-history-potato-chip-180979232/ - https://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/the-lost-gardens-of-babylon-qa-with-dr-stephanie-dalley-tv-host-author-of-lost-gardens-of-babylon/1172/ - https://allthatsinteresting.com/hanging-gardens-of-babylon - https://www.history.com/.amp/news/hanging-gardens-existed-but-not-in-babylon

Welcome to March 14th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate endless possibilities in snacks and numbers.   The origins of the potato chip are hotly contested. Some say it was George Crum, a chef that tried to appease a customer who kept sending back his “thick and soggy” potatoes. This 1853 tale claims that the customer was none other than Cornelius Vanderbilt. The story was later debunked, but one thing is more sure, Crum's “Saratoga Chips” spread like wildfire. Today potato chips are one of the world's most popular snacks. Around 11.2 million pounds of them are eaten on the Sunday of The Big Game alone. No matter how you flavor them, from barbecue to Cajun squirrel (yes that's an actual flavor) anyone who cashes in on making them is no doubt “in the chips.” On National Potato Chip Day, celebrate by munching on your own favorite flavor! The number Pi is calculated by dividing the circumference of a circle by its diameter. Sounds easy, right? Not really. The approximate value of Pi is 3.14, but if you were to keep calculating the decimals, you'd be working a long time. Like forever. In 2021, a supercomputer attempted to calculate Pi and made it to 62.8 trillion digits before running out of memory. Seems like the phrase “easy as pie” is a reference to the baked version, not the numerical one. If you're a real Poindexter, you could spend National Pi Day doing math, or you can celebrate along with us over a piece of, well…pie.

Let's celebrate George Crum, an African-American/ Native American man who lived from 1824 to 1914. He was a chef who owned a restaurant called Crumbs House, and is known to have unintentionally invented the potato chip. After he discovered his mistake was really a huge hit, a basket of potato chips were placed on every table. His restaurant was near Saratoga lake where he catered to an upscale clientele. Guests included the likes of William Vanderbilt, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Jay Gould. If it wasn't for him we would never be able to enjoy one of our favorite snacks! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/katherine-hutchinson-hayes/support

Potato ChipsWelcome to The Guys Review, where we review media, products and experiences. **READ APPLE REVIEWS/Fan Mail**Mention Twitter DM group - like pinned tweetNO EMAILSPotato ChipsHistory:-The earliest known recipe of a "chip" as we know it is from William Kitchiner's book The Cook's Oracle published in 1817.-The 1822 edition's recipe for "Potatoes fried in Slices or Shavings" reads "peel large potatoes... cut them in shavings round and round, as you would peel a lemon; dry them well in a clean cloth, and fry them in lard or dripping"-An 1825 British book about French cookery calls them "Pommes de Terre frites" (POM de Ter Frete) (Which literally translates to fried potatoes) and calls for thin slices of potato fried in "clarified butter or goose dripping", drained and sprinkled with salt.-Early recipes for potato chips in the US are found in Mary Randolph's Virginia House-Wife (1824)and in N.K.M. Lee's Cook's Own Book (1832), both of which explicitly cite Kitchiner.-A legend associates the creation of potato chips with Saratoga Springs, New York, decades later than the first recorded recipe, by George Crum. At Moon's Lake House he was trying to appease an unhappy customer on August 24, 1853. The customer kept sending back his French-fried potatoes, complaining that they were too thick, too "soggy", or not salted enough. Frustrated, Crum sliced several potatoes extremely thin, fried them to a crisp, and seasoned them with extra salt. To his surprise, the customer loved them. They soon came to be called "Saratoga Chips",a name that persisted into the mid-twentieth century. -The potato chip remained otherwise unseasoned until an innovation by Joe "Spud" Murphy, the owner of the Irish crisps company Tayto, who in the 1950s developed a technology to add seasoning during manufacture. After some trial and error, Murphy and his employee Seamus Burke produced the world's first seasoned chips: Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar.-The first flavored chips in the United States, barbecue flavor, were being manufactured and sold by 1954.-Not going into the differences between the American "chip" British "chip" as in fish and chips, and even differences between chips and crisps, which even invades Canada.

You might guess that the best-selling food in America is the hamburger. But if you guess that the second-place food on the list is pizza, hot dogs, steak, or wings, you’d be wrong. In fact, it’s potato chips. Worldwide, they’re second only to rice. Despite the immense popularity of this food, many of us have no idea how it originated. It all started in New England in 1853. George Crum, a chef at a resort, grew frustrated as a guest repeatedly sent back his French fries, insisting they should be thinner and less soft. In his exasperation, Crum sliced a potato as thin as possible, fried it until it was completely crunchy, and sent it out to teach the picky customer a lesson. Instead of learning his lesson, though, the customer was ecstatic. He loved the crunchy, lightly browned, paper-thin potatoes. Soon, other diners started requesting the dish, and it eventually showed up on the menu as a house special. The chips were eventually packaged and sold throughout the region. In 1932, Herman Lay decided to start selling potato chips to Southern grocers, not just in New England. He went from restaurant to restaurant and grocery store to grocery store to sell potato chips from the trunk of his car. You might recognize his name as being part of Frito-Lay, the major snack manufacturer that still exists today. Isn’t it interesting how being rejected can be transformed into an ultra-profitable innovation? Think about your own business. If someone rejects you or your product, do you look for the opportunities that the rejection points to? Take a lesson from potato chips, and keep in mind that rejection can turn into a multi-million dollar empire! From this story, you’ve already learned from how rejection transformed into an ultra-profitable innovation because of a happy accident, and how a traveling salesman built a billion-dollar industry out of the truck of his car through grocery stores. Those are two of today’s key insights! Tune into the episode to learn all about the other: why replacing a proven winner is less risky than improving a proven winner.

In the United States, potatoes are the second most consumed item, just behind rice. But when potatoes are thin sliced, fried and salted, they go from being the number two consumed food to the number one snack food of choice. George Crum, also known as George Speck, was born in 1824 in Saratoga Springs, New York to a Native American mother and African American father. When he was a young man, Crum worked as a guide in the Adirondack Mountains and an a Native American trader. Eventually however, he realized he had an exceptional ability to cook, and the culinary arts was his calling. By the summer of 1853, Crum found himself as the head chef at one of Saratoga Spring’s fanciest restaraunts, the Moon Lake Lodge resort, where like many other places, French fries was a famous staple of the menu. Though Crum could make French fries, his specialties were really in his seasoned preparation of wild game like venison and duck, with him not afraid to push the envelope and really experiment with flavors and pairings in the kitchen. In 1853, Crum was in the Moon Lake kitchen creating his famous French fries for a patron. Well apparently, the diner wasn’t happy with way his fries were cut, and sent them back asking for them to be cut thinner. Crum obliged, and cut them thinner. The diner STILL wasn’t happy, claiming the fries were too soggy, and sent the fries back again. According to legend, Crum was a bit more then perturbed and purposefully sliced the new batch of potatoes as thin as he possibly could, and then purposefully fried them as hard and as crunchy as possible. To top the new batch off, he salted them about as heavily as he could and served it up. Crum, despite his reputation for such amazing cuisine, tried to sabotage his own client. But, to Crum’s surprise, the diner LOVED this new creation, and with his new hit… a new snack was born. By 1860, Crum had ventured to open his own restaurant in Malta, New York, invariably called “Crum’s House”. Crum’s restaurant was in ridiculously high demand among tourists to the Saratoga Springs area, and even the wealthy seasonal residents of the area. According to diners, “his prices were that of the fashionable high end New York City restaurants, but the food and service were more than worth it, with everything possible raised on his own small farm, and even his farm got his personal attention whenever he could manage to handle both.” The famed Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt once was obligated to wait over an hour and a half for a meal.” Though United States’ patent law was created with color-blind language to foster and encourage innovation, the patent system consistently excluded these inventors from their due recognition. Because of these uphill battle in getting a patent, George Crum never even attempted to patent his potato chips, or the process for their creation. Eventually potato chips were being mass produced without him receiving any credit. Today, Americans alone consume about 1.5 billion pounds of potato chips each year. George Crum died at the age of 90 in 1914; but his potato chips will forever live on.

NEXT EPSIODE FEB 24   Accidental Inventions   Crisps George Crum   George Crum (born George Speck;[1] c. 1828 – July 22, 1914)[2] was a mixed-race African/Native American trapper and guide in the Adirondacks, who became renowned for his culinary skills after becoming a cook and restaurant owner in Saratoga Springs, New York. By 1860 he owned Crum's House, a popular lakeside restaurant in nearby Malta.               Hotel chef George Crum enjoyed a wonderful knack for cooking. From his kitchen at Moon's Lake House near Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Mr. Crum could "take anything edible and transform it into a dish fit for a king." That skill came in handy – the upscale Lake House attracted customers who were used to being treated like kings. In 1853, a cranky guest complained about Crum's fried potatoes. They were too thick, he said. Too soggy and bland. The patron demanded a new batch. Crum did not take this well. He decided to play a trick on the diner. The chef sliced a potato paper-thin, fried it until a fork could shatter the thing, and then purposefully over-salted his new creation. The persnickety guest will hate this, he thought. But the plan backfired. The guy loved it! He ordered a second serving.   The first potato chip factory was built in 1895 by William Tappenden in Cleveland, OH. He funded the remodeling of his barn into a factory with the profits he made by delivering potato chips to grocery stores. It takes 1,000 pounds of potatoes to make 350 pounds of potato chips. Pringles are made from mashed potatoes that have been dehydrated and reconstituted into a dough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbbsbE2mQuA   Super glue   Harry Coover   Super Glue, also known as cyanoacrylate, was originally discovered in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover, who by the way died last month on March 26th, 2011.  Coover was attempting to make clear plastic gun sights to be put on guns used by Allied soldiers in WWII.  One particular formulation he came up with didn’t work well for gun sights, but worked fantastically as an extremely quick bonding adhesive.     X RAYS   The first X-ray device was discovered accidentally by the German scientist Wilhelm Roentgen (1845-1923) in 1895. He found that a cathode-ray tube emitted invisible rays that could penetrate paper and wood. The rays caused a screen of fluorescent material several yards away to glow. Roentgen used his device to examine the bone structure of the human hand.      First x ray photo                                                         Wilhelm Röntgen   Upon their discovery in 1895, X-rays were advertised as the new scientific wonder and were seized upon by entertainers. Circus patrons could view their own skeletons and were given pictures of their own bony hands wearing silhouetted jewelry. Many people were fascinated by this discovery. Some people, however, feared that it would allow strangers to look through walls and doors and eliminate privacy.HOW X RAYS WORK SHORT VIDEo X Rays Work - YouTube   MICROWAVE       In 1945, the American engineer, Percy Spencer was carrying out maintenance work on a live radar set. Whilst working within close proximity to the radar equipment, he felt a tingling sensation throughout his body and noticed that a chocolate bar in his pocket had completely melted. After some investigation he determined that it was the microwaves being emitted by the magnetron tube in the radar set which had caused the chocolate to get warm enough to melt. Percy Spencer experimented further by directing the magnetron tube at kernels of corn. Activating the gun resulted in just what he was hoping – the first microwave popcorn. Percy Spencer then went on to build a metal box with an opening on one side and the magnetron tube poking through into another side of it. He used this box to heat his lunches and a variety of other foods he was curious enough to try out. There’s  a story of an occasion where he heated a whole egg in the device which unfortunately resulted in the egg exploding in his colleague’s face. This incident led to the addition of a door to close the box and prevent any further such incidents.    Did you know however that the first microwave ovens were already commercially available way back in 1947? These early appliances known then as RadaRanges cost around $5000 US, weighed approximately 650kg and stood 1.6m tall! TO THIS                KELLOGS CORN FLAKES   If you've never been aroused by the sight of a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes, then you're probably completely normal and have nothing to worry about. At least according to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, that is   KELLOGGS BROTHERS    Dr john Kellogg  with his younger brother Keith Kellogg   In the young United States, one of the most ardent anti-masturbaters was a Michigan physician named John Harvey Kellogg. The good doctor was a bit uncomfortable about sex, thinking it detrimental to physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. He personally abstained from it, and never consummated his marriage (and may have actually spent his honeymoon working on one of his anti-sex books). He and his wife kept separate bedrooms and adopted all of their children.   Enter Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. Kellogg was the superintendent of Battle Creek Sanitarium,  This is where Corn Flakes come in. Amongst the various measures that Kellogg resorted to in order to curb passions he relied most heavily upon the vegetarian diet,   Will Keith Kellogg, had accidentally created after toasting some stale cooked wheat. Kellogg believed that this product, that they called “Corn Flakesâ€* acted as an anaphrodisiac, greatly decreasing the sex drives of those who consumed it.  while John held firm in his anti-sweet beliefs. The result was Will’s formation of the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company in 1906, which went on to become the multi-billion dollar Kellogg Company John Harvey Kellogg spent the rest of his life practicing medicine, treating such notable figures as President William Howard Taft, aviator Amelia Earhart, Nobel prize-winning playwright George Bernard Shaw, founder of Ford Motor Company Henry Ford, and inventor Thomas Edison. Following Freud’s studies in human sexuality, and other studies in human sexual psychology in the first half of the twentieth century, it appears that Kellogg dropped his obsession with the evils of sex, focusing mainly on establishing healthy eating habits with his patients. He died in 1943 at the age of 91.

The book is an account of the life and career of George Crum, a biracial chef who is credited with the invention of the potato chip at a Saratoga Springs, New York restaurant in 1853. Taylor stumbled across George Crum's story while researching African American inventors on the Internet. “I'm always looking for a story to tell, and George Crum caught my attention because his invention, the potato chip, is loved by so many people,” says the author. “I have to admit that a story about the potato chip peaked my own curiosity, because it is my favorite snack.” The more Taylor read about George Crum, the more interested she became in his life. “It turns out that George did not intentionally invent the potato chip,” Taylor comments. “He accidentally concocted it while trying to appease a customer.” The author says that all her research described George Crum as having a very distinct and colorful personality. “I just couldn't let him go,” says Taylor. “I said, ‘George, we've got a story to tell'”
