Feb 23, 2011 Devoid of the sense of sight, it is a good opportunity to arouse the imagination. Broccoli chips, how do they look like? Apple chips, we know how they are like, sliced cylindricals of the dehydrated planes of the actual fruit. Potato chips, hard and plastic, nowhere near the voluminous tuber. And broccoli. Flat? Is it still green? The question of the year.
Broccoli Chips (SGD 2.95)
Staring at the metallic edges, a few words come to you. Real Veggie. "Snack of the century", "vacuum fried". Honestly, this becomes more and more ghastly, for a snack that still remains 'unseen' from the face of the earth.
Tearing open the metallic bag, the weird scent of banana skin or jackfruit comes to you. Not exactly a very pleasant feeling. Holding out a few stalks, miraculously, broccolis are still green, from the bewilderment which sent us to reconfigure our understanding on the plant broccoli, that lo and behold, the broccoli chips might come out completely distorted from recognition anytime.
P.S. Having crossed the first barrier, broccoli chips are light as paper, and tasty like non-vegetarians. They are crunchy, crispy and salty, a drastic contrast from the floating, uneasy element it gave a while before.
