Definition of corn chip

corn chipnoun

khoai tây chiên

/ˈkɔːn tʃɪp//ˈkɔːrn tʃɪp/

The term "corn chip" can be traced back to the early 1960s in the United States, where it refers to a type of snack food made from corn dough that is fried or baked into a crispy chip. The origins of corn chips can be traced back to Mexico, where a variant of the dish called totopos (literally "little pieces") has been consumed for centuries. In Mexican cuisine, totopos are made by frying strips of corn tortillas until they are crispy, often seasoned with salt and served as a snack or accompanied with salsa and other dips. In the United States, the concept of corn chips was first popularized by the commercial success of a product called "Corn Nuts" introduced by the Rito's Chili Bowl restaurant chain in 1945. However, it wasn't until the early 1960s that corn chips gained wider recognition as a distinct food item, thanks to companies like Frito-Lay introducing new brands like Santitas and Grizzlies. The name "corn chip" itself is self-explanatory, as it refers to a snack made from a corn-based dough that is shaped into a chip and fried or baked until it is crispy. In some cases, additional flavorings or seasonings may be added during the manufacturing process to create a variety of different corn chip flavors. Overall, the concept of corn chips represents a fusion of traditional Mexican cuisine with modern American snacking habits, and their popularity continues to grow as more people discover their delicious and addictive nature.
