Over the past decade, chefs have gotten pretty crafty when it comes to dressing french fries. From garlic fries to pizza fries to fries topped with carne asada, we've come a long way from simply salted fried potatoes with a side of ketchup. Yet, the state of Delaware has a concocted a recipe for french fries that has become a must-have treat on the go. The notorious boardwalk hotspot known as Trasher's has been producing hot crispy fries topped with salt and a liberal amount of cider vinegar that tingling the tastebuds of many Delaware-bred patrons and travelers for ninety years.
We're fully aware of the aggressive nature apple cider vinegar might have on some palettes but this is an experience too good to pass up, just moderately apply the vinegar dressing to your likely and expect to be pleasantly surprised. For those of you not willing to make a trip to the United State's smallest territory, this simple snack could be made at home with thick-cut potatoes fried in peanut oil and lightly drizzled with cider vinegar and salt.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
