Pesto chips

Students are always fascinated when going abroad with American food that has been "tweaked" in foreign countries.  One of our favorite games is spot the most unique chip or crisp to many nations (chips are french fries).  Some of the front runners include pesto and bratwurst.   The lesson that we learn is that it is not just Americans stealing ideas and making them our own, but everyone around the world wants a part of pop culture but need to make it fit their own tastes.  Click here for a great blog/website article that lists chip flavors by country in honor of National Potato Chip day on Mar. 14th.
