Famous Foods Discovered by Accident
We all love food , and every food have a story behind it but do you know some of the most famous food from the world were discovered by chance. Yes you heard it right so here we arelooking to some of the same food items.
Potato Chips Were Created as a Protest
One o the most famous food item was discovered as a protest to a man. In a restaurant in 1853, chef George Crum was frustrated after a customer sent back his fried potatoes over and over again, complaining that they were soggy and too thick. So, to get back at the customer, the chef sliced the next batch of potatoes as thinly as he could, fried them, and covered them in a great deal of salt. Surprisingly, the customer loved them. And the rest is history.
Coffee Was Discovered by Goats.
The credit of discovering coffee goes to a goat , One day, hundreds of years ago, Kaldi, an Ethiopian goatherd, noticed a change in the behavior of his goats. Kaldi observed that the goats were being unusually cheerful and energetic, so he followed them around. Turns out, the goats had been devouring the beans and leaves of a particular tree. Curious, Kaldi consumed some of them, too, and also gave some to a monk that was having trouble staying awake throughout prayers. The monks loved the new drink because of its galvanizing effect and good taste. So this is how coffee came into existence.
The Sandwich Was Created for a Compulsive Gambler
One day, in 1762, John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, was in the middle of an intense gambling session and wouldn’t leave the game for meals. He instructed his cook to prepare a food which he could easily eat without leaving the table. So the cook, whom we unfortunately can’t identify, tossed some beef in between two slices of toast, and sandwiches were invented.
Beer Was Supposed to Be Bread
At first, the Mesopotamians hated it when their grains, which they had been storing to produce bread, became damp, causing the grains to ferment into a liquid. But hey, why settle for bread when you can have beer? So this is how beer came to us.
Ice cream cone
1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, a vendor ran out of dishes to serve his ice cream. Hamwri, a Syrian who sold a waffle-like crispy pastry in the next stall, quickly rolled up his product and gave it to the ice cream vendor. The customers preferred the crunchy waffle to bowls
Cheese Puffs Were Once Garbage
In the 1930s, the Flakall Company in Wisconsin had a machine that crushed grains to make feed for livestock, and corn kernels were used to reduce clogging. Somehow, the machine’s heat made the corn kernels puffy as they fell from the machine as waste. Edward Wilson literally picked up these ribbons from the ground, added seasoning and then we got them.
Chocolate Chip Cookies Were Meant to Be Just Chocolate
Ruth Wakefield, a lodge owner, ran out of baker’s chocolate when she was supposed to bake chocolate cookies for her guests. So she went with her instinct and grabbed a bag of Nestle’s chocolate morsels, assuming that they would melt and blend with the cookie dough. Well, we can thank fate that she was wrong, and so the first batch of chocolate chip cookies was born
