点评:We stopped by the Potato Chip factory while staying in Massanutten. One of our friends had recently told us that these were their favorite Potato Chips, by far.
The person who greeted us was very nice and had only been there 6 months, but was very knowledgeable about their chips and their processes. When they moved production to their current location, they ordered custom equipment for their operation. It was fascinating to watch from beginning to end. The machines were all quite quick and efficient and the people doing the manual operations were also fun.
After our tour, we got to sample all the flavors of chips. My favorite was the Mama Zuma's Revenge which were quite hot and to my liking. While I didn't agree with my friend, the chips were good, but not the best. I still miss Husmann's from my youth in Cincinnati which was put out of business when they were bought out by Grippo's (I believe).
Overall, an educational and worthwhile experience.
翻译:我们在马萨努滕逗留期间顺道参观了一家薯片工厂。我们的一位朋友最近告诉我们,这是他们吃过最好吃的薯片,没有之一。
接待我们的人非常友善,虽然只在那里工作了六个月,但对薯片和生产流程却了如指掌。工厂搬迁到现在的厂址时,他们特意定制了生产设备。从头到尾观看整个生产过程,真是令人着迷。机器运转起来非常迅速高效,而负责手工操作的工人们也很有趣。
参观结束后,我们品尝了所有口味的薯片。我最喜欢的是“祖玛妈妈的复仇”(Mama Zuma's Revenge),味道很辣,正合我意。虽然我的朋友不太喜欢,但我觉得这些薯片味道不错,只是算不上最好吃。我仍然怀念小时候在辛辛那提吃过的Husmann's薯片,可惜它后来被Grippo's收购后就倒闭了(我记得是这样)。
总而言之,这是一次很有教育意义且值得的体验。
