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.
