Instant ramen, the base ingredient of a typical "spread"

  • Comment: Sources mention both the unpalatability of prison food and declining quantities of it as explanations for the popularity of "spreads". I figured "inadequate prison food" encompasses both nicely.

Crisp translation

[edit]

It says "chips" which in the UK is things made with very hot oil. Do you mean Crisps? Victuallers (talk) 08:51, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers: This article was written in American English. I clarified the sentence with a link to the potato chip article. However, I don't believe it should even be mentioned because it doesn't occur again anywhere in the article, and the lead should provide an overview of the rest of the article, not introduce additional facts. Either "chips" should be removed (which would avoid any confusion) or additional text should be added in the article body. ~Anachronist (talk) 13:31, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm thinking what it needs is dry snacks, which is a category of food for which we don't have an article. It's a term fairly broadly used in the food service industry -- grocers, retailers, wholesalers, caterers, bars, hotels, restaurants, etc. all use it. There are undoubtedly sources with very significant coverage, but they'd all be in industry publications. —valereee (talk) 18:33, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
