できたてポテトチップス｜Freshly made potato chips｜2021/03/13

むしょうにポテトチップスが食べたくなった。成長期でもないのに一袋６００キロカロリーを摂取するなんて無謀である。危険な行為だからこそ食べるのであれば美味しいモノを食べたい。キクスイドーの工場直送のできたてポテトチップスをオーダーしてみた。作った次の日にはもう届く。封を開けるといい香りがただよってくる。たまらずバリバリバリ。揚げたて感があって軽い。さすが工場直送だ。あっというまに６００キロカロリーを摂取する。でもこの味はなんだか覚えがある。そう、子供の頃親が作ってくれたポテトチップスの味だ。当時は市販のポテトチップスは食べさせてもらえず、母が揚げてくれるものを文句を言って食べたものだ。揚げたて１分、ザクザク厚手。しかし今となってはそれが一番贅沢だ。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

 I wanted to eat potato chips. It had 600 calories per bag and was too much for me, not growing. I wanted to eat deliciously because it was a dangerous act. I ordered freshly made potato chips directly from the Kikusido factory. Itl arrived the next day after it was made. When I opened the seal, a nice scent came out. It was crunchy. It felt freshly fried and was light. As expected, it was shipped directly from the factory. I ingested 600 calories in no time. I felt like I remembered this taste. Yes, it was the taste of potato chips that my mother made when I was a kid. At that time, I couldn't eat potato chips on the market, and I complained about what my mother fried. Freshly fried for 1 minute, thick and crunchy. But now it must be the most luxurious. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
