How the hell do you...?

How do you hand cook a fúcking crisp?
I always see these bags with handcooked written on them.
Do they hire a load of immigrant workers to rub their plams together to create friction and then slowly roast the potato slices.


Or O'brien's hand-cut sandwiches, do they have a load of ninjas who karate-chop the bread in half?

you use your hands to put them into the deep fat fryer. Try it, but make sure the oil is nice and hot before you do it

You are clearly a serious thinker.

How crisps are usually made is by long conveyor belts and machines.
I guess hand cooked means a bit more hand-on process, as it were.

I don't know, but they are excellent for slicing someone open if you forget your stanley knife.

It's to differentiate from footcooked crisps and arsecut sandwiches.

Crisps are not cooked, they are fried, because if they were cooked, they were not crispy...or something like that

There's an Esso near Walkinstown in Dublin that sells 'handcrafted soup'.

Ive heard of hand made, but hand-cut

I can never understand why 'hand cooked' or hand cut' are meant to be good selling points. I'd rather not think of someone touching my food with their dirty hands tbh.

You should ask them.

Got to remember that they wouldn't be able to get away with saying something like that without it being true. So the definition of handcooked probably means that someone has physically put the crisp pan into the fryer and lifted them out. No difference in taste, but they can charge more for a premium product. But you should investigate this.

It's good that you're asking questions of products like this though. There's loads of tricks that food manufacturers use. Another is "No added colourings!" (for example) which means that they haven't added colour, so it makes you think that there is no artificial crap in it, but the product DOES have added flavourings/preservatives etc.

Love the hand cut sandwiches though, never heard that one before!

It's even in their official logo,

I remember Lóreal or sombody had to stop saying "For healthy hair" because hair is dead tissue and can't technically be healthy.
They had to change it to healthy looking hair
