Potato Chips
History: Potatoes came from South America. We know that the people of Peru were eating potatoes
as long as 2,000 years ago.
Potatoes were not widely grown in Europe (欧洲) until the early 19th century.
Production: The first chip factory in Britain was opened in the early 1900s by Frank Smith. For about
50 years, Smith's Chips were the only ones that you could buy. Potatoes are cut, cooked in vegetable oil
(油), dried and packed. It takes only 12 minutes to turn a potato into a bag of chips.
Chips are the most popular snack (零食) in the UK. Around 8,500 million bags are sold every year.
Each person eats 3.5 kg every year.
