Real Food; Real 'Ritin'

Wes Phillips  |  Jan 11, 2006

The best food writing isn't about snooty reactions to snooty cooking, but is like a personal conversation with someone you care about. A.J. Liebling's Between Meqls: An appetite For Paris, Jim Harrison's The Raw and the Cooked, and just about anything by Ruth Reichl all come to mind. And then there's The Great British Crisp Challenge, which is lively and entertaining as all get out.

Sample sentence: "The British passion for the crisp is due in part to an apparent genetic weakness for anything involving the potato."

I love the Cape Cod chips, but I doubt they are really good for you. but," that's not what it is about anyway. ""Charlie", Starkist does want tunas with good taste," they want tunas that taste good!""

I'm taking off to London relatively soon. Now I'm aching to try out some of these crisps/chips.
