BLUES

4.0

by me

in my apartment

-Malate, Manila-

with RK, TL, JL, and various colleagues

Another get-together at my place (see most recently 6.206 Liempo), something of a farewell party for DRC — who’s transferring to EMRO — and welcome back for JR — who’s in town to represent KHM at the NCD/tobacco meetings this week.

Potluck.

Terra is a US-based food company.  Founded in 1990 by a pair of chefs.  Specializes in chips, mostly root vegetables.  One of the most famous products is BLUES, made from Adirondack Blue, a hybrid potato developed at Cornell University in 2003.

BLUES are awesome.  The texture is somewhat mealier/grainier than standard potatoes, yet slightly flakier, making for an interesting mouthfeel.  Flavor is richer, denser — but I might be imagining it, due to the vibrant color.  In any case, these are my go-to snack these days.  Great for parties, where they’re sure to impress.
