Who is thought to have invented potato chips?

In 1853 American Indian George Crum worked at a Resteraunt in new york . One day a customer came who rejected the order of French Fried Potatoes as " too thick and soggy". Crum got fed up and fried and cut a batch that was too crispy and thin to pick up with a fork. This backfired. The customer liked them and soon they were requested and added to the menu. The chips were called Saratoga chips. That is how potato chips were invented 😃yumm!


Did medieval and pioneer people have potato chips in their days?

Potatoes are a vegetable that originated in the New World, and were entirely unknown in the Old. It was not until trade was established between the Europeans and the people who lived in the Americas that the Europeans knew about potatoes. That happened after the Middle Ages were over. Other vegetables that were unknown to the Europeans included maize, tomatoes, peppers, and kidney beans.

How did people in the middle ages wipe their butts?

Well...Toilet paper has been around long enough for even great grandparents to have used it btw. The early settlers here in NZ though named a small tree with large soft leaves 'bushmen's toilet paper' - they also it to write on. And from wiki: .....The classic 16th century satirical novel Gargantua and Pantagruel by François Rabelais contains references to various toilet paper alternatives. For example, in the 13th chapter of the First Book, titled "How Grandgousier realized Gargantua's marvelous intelligence, by his invention of an ****-wipe," the giant Gargantua, while still a child, tries dozens of different methods for wiping his bottom, including paper, but unfortunately he finds it "leaves some chips on his ballocks". Finally he discovers the best method: the neck of a goose. The first factory-made paper marketed exclusively for toilet use was produced by Marie Fagliano in the United States in 1857 . Fagliano's name was printed on every sheet. Before this invention, wealthy people used wool, lace or hemp for their ablutions, while less wealthy people used their hand when defecating into rivers, or cleaned themselves with various materials such as rags, wood shavings, leaves, grass, hay, stone, sand, moss, water, snow, maize husks, fruit skins, or seashells, and cob of the corn depending upon the country and weather conditions or social customs. In Ancient Rome, a sponge on a stick was commonly used, and, after usage, placed back in a bucket of saltwater...... Wiki also mentions sand being used in some countries. There is an alternative to paper and that is the 'bidet' which is like a basin but on the floor so you can wash afterwards instead of dry wiping. The cleanest human races on earth, are Asians and Muslims; as they clean themselves with water using left hand and washing both hands with soap and water. Using paper or any other material leaves residue on the anus or around the area.
