Happy National Potato Chip Day & National Pi Day

According to National Day Calendar, the potato chip story is: "On August 24, 1853, an unhappy restaurant customer kept sending his potatoes back to the kitchen, complaining they were thick and soggy.  Chef George Crum decided to slice the potatoes as thin as possible, frying them until crisp and added extra salt.  To the chef's surprise, the customer loved them.  The crispy potatoes soon became a regular item on the restaurant's menu under the name of 'Saratoga Chips.'"

How about hot dogs and hamburgers or subs to go with your chips?
There are so many different flavors of chips now.  What's your favorite?
Have you tried pickle chips?  I'm wondering how sour they are, obviously I haven't tried them.
Hubby likes BBQ and sour cream & onion best.

It's National Pi Day - not to be confused with pie.  Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.  That's Greek to me  (😉 pi is a Greek letter)!
So, another food option today is to eat foods that start with "pi" or are shaped in a circle!
What will you eat today?  (No pine cones, please.)
