Those delicacies that were created due to the producer's mistakes

Most classic dishes are created by chefs after many attempts and modifications. They require the right time, place and meticulousness of the creators. However, there are always accidents. The birth of some foods that are still popular today is actually pure accident, such as bread.

This beautiful accident happened in ancient Egypt. A slave who was responsible for making pancakes for the birthday party of his master's daughter fell asleep due to excessive fatigue. The fire in the furnace went out unnoticed. The residual heat caused the raw dough to ferment and swell. After being baked, the pancakes were loose and soft, which pleased the master very much. Therefore, they were preserved and slowly spread to the world. In addition to bread, there are actually many delicacies that were created due to the mistakes made by the producers.

Popsicles

Frank W. Epperson invented the popsicle in 1905 when he was only 11 years old. Actually, his original intention was just to make a glass of soda water, but after mixing the baking soda and water, Frank forgot the soda water with the stirring stick on the terrace. When he remembered it the next day, the soda water that had been frozen overnight in the cold winter had frozen, so he got a popsicle.

Potato chips (potato chips/potato chips)

Yes, potato chips were also a surprise. The story takes place in a restaurant in Moon Lake Lodge in New York. A very difficult diner complained to the chef that the French fries were too thick and inedible. After making a thinner version of the French fries, the diner was still not satisfied. Therefore, the angry chef George Crum decided to cut the potatoes into paper-thin slices and fry them for the customers. Unexpectedly, these thin and crispy potato chips became very popular.

Ice cream cone

The birth of the ice cream cone came from the cooperation of two vendors. At the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, ice cream vendor Arnold Fornachou's products were selling like hot cakes. Because business was much better than expected, the paper cups for ice cream soon ran out. To help Arnold, Syrian Ernest Hamwi, a baker selling snacks nearby, decided to roll up waffle-shaped snacks and use them to hold ice cream for him.

Corn flakes

In 1898, brothers WK Kellogg and Dr. John Harvey Kellogg were working in a sanatorium in Michigan, USA. In order to make patients eat healthier and easier, the brothers began to study cereals. However, due to a momentary negligence, the boiled wheat became dry. In the spirit of not wasting, the two brothers tried to make wheat into dough, but it was too dry and broke into flakes, which looked a complete failure. However, after baking, it became fragrant and crispy, and was well received by patients. Therefore, the two brothers decided to continue to improve the oatmeal and used corn instead. Later, they founded the Kellogg's we are familiar with.

Chocolate Chip Cookies (Chocolate Cookies)

In 1930, a woman named Ruth Wakefield and her husband opened a small hotel called "Toll House Inn". One morning, she was preparing to make cookies for her guests, but she found that she had run out of chocolate for baking! So she had to crush up some Nestle chocolate and put it into the dough, hoping that the chocolate would melt into the dough during baking. Then, chocolate chip cookies were born.
