The demise of the slapchip is something that we cannot allow. Remember the days of the local cafes - on just about every corner would be an unlimited supply of freshly fried, greasy, sloppy chips drowning in vinegar, topped with a light sprinkling of salt. Mmm. And then along came an enterprising frozen food company and flogged their shitty pieces of iced cardboard to every local take-out joint that would take them - which happened to be almost all of them. And with one foul swoop an entire generation of South African children have been deprived of what really should be South Africa's national dish. We cannot stand idly by and watch these degenerate offerings of MSG-coated cardboard mash our beloved slapchip into oblivion. We must let our tastebuds lead the march against mediocrity. Amandla!

Saffas need to use their bargaining chips!

ReplyDeleteParktown North Convenience Store... still does the best slap chips in town, although I am told Texas (just around the corner) runs a close second. In newsprint too.
