Un mauvais œuf

08/12/2023

Oh. Mon. Dieu. Louis Catorze has just eaten two tiny fragments of crisps. And they weren’t just normal crisps. They were fried egg-flavoured crisps.

I know. I know exactly what you’re thinking:

1. Yes, fried egg-flavoured crisps are a thing (and, unbelievably, they are delicious).

2. Catorze doesn’t eat human food (or so we thought).

3. Fried egg-flavoured crisps are as far along the human food spectrum as can possibly be, on the extreme right (or the extreme left, depending on which end you think is good and which is bad).

Naturellement my efforts to capture this on camera yielded nothing but the rather disturbing photo below, snapped just before he headbutted the phone out of my hand. So I have no actual proof. But we can file this under “Too absurd to have been made up”, non?

*Red circle = piece of crisp shrapnel.*
*Red arrow = Catorzian eye.*

Considering most things you say about your overlord are too absurd to be made up, one can only assume you’re telling the truth now! That’s what keeps me addicted!! Xxx

Louis is a gourmet.
Times have changed.
When I was a kid, there wasn’t any specific food meant to be for cats or dogs.
In those days, cats and dogs ate mostly leftovers.

We had heard that in Canada catsup-flavored crisps (potato chips to us Yanks, right?) are a big deal – even had some friends who went north to obtain them. Don’t know about fried egg ones, but fried eggs and hash browns are a common breakfast combo, so they may be quite tasty. Maybe Louis was just craving the crunchy sensation.

    Should I have spelled it “ketchup” ? Or is it some other term completely (like “crisps” or “biscuits” for cookies . Such a confusing common language….

      I thought catsup was some sort of illegally-brewed alcohol, like moonshine.

        There are numerous jokes (I’m surprised you haven’t heard a few…) The Master at the table asks the maid to fetch the catsup. The maid says “Yes sir !” and departs. Next there is an unholy racket, things crashing, howls and screams. Finally the maid returns, a bit the worse for wear, and says “They’re up sir.”

My cat Morgan loves potato chips. Not sure if it’s the salt but she will lick it and then when it’s soggy, eat it.

😆 since Google lies about its artificial intelligence tools, I am starting to doubt everything I see and hear on the internet (even more than I did before, I mean). So I don’t know if I trust this post, the “fried-egg crisps” sound too insane to be a real thing 😆

I’ve seen fried chicken, sour pickle, shrimp, chocolate covered and many more flavor crisps in regional stores here in the U.S. as well as seeing Youtube videos of exotic flavors. And for KitKat chocolate bars as well. 🙂

  Shrimp! I need shrimp crisps! We have prawn cocktail and they’re nice but they don’t taste of prawns.

Cats do love egg, at least in my experience. But as a crisp flavour, who would have thought ?
