Potato Chip Truck Burns on the Highway

Oh the humanity! I just read this news article on a site called Fresh Plaza. The story tells of a truck hauling Lays Potato Chips which had it's brakes catch on fire and burn the whole truck load of chips. I don't know which part I laughed harder at: the quote from deputy fire chief Michael Willets who said: "It's up to Lays Potato Chips to clean up the mess left on the side of the highway as a result of the fire" or the tag line on the Fresh Plaza website:

Vending Machine Recipe #16: Amos and Andy Chocolate Chip Hot Fries








Today's recipe was inspired by the name combination more than anything. How could I possibly pass up the opportunity to combine Famous Amos cookies with Andy Capp's Hot Chili Cheese Steak Fries to get an Amos 'n' Andy recipe?



Of course that radio series and television show were way before my time, and were highly controversial for their racial stereotypes but stereotypes sell snacks (just look at Andy Capp - the stereotypical unemployed, gambling drunk).



This recipe is like a mexican mole sauce (chocoloate and chili pepper). The sweet chocoloate and spicy chili go well together, although the cheese and french fry underpinnings are somewhat out of place.




Ingredients:
1 Bag Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 Bag Andy Capp's Hot Chili Cheese Steak Fries

Serves: 2
Price: $1.80

Instructions:
Eat 2 - 3 fries per cookie. Experiment with different ratios for different flavors.
