Wine and crisp pairings have become the latest TikTok-fuelled food trend, turning what’s usually a pub-classic duo into a fine dining cuisine, darling!Grocery delivery service Getir reports UK Google searches for‘wine and crisp pairings’ have skyrocketed by 155% over the past month alongside searches for ‘wine and crisps’ which have gained a spike of 163% in search recently.Why the sudden uproar in popularity, you ask? TikToker Eli Rallo shared a ‘Wine and Potato Chip pairing’ infographic made by Wine Enthusiast, garnering 1.1 million views. Eli seemed to agree with Wine Enthusiast’s suggestions, calling their pairing of sour cream and onion crisps and Chenin Blanc a “pair for the ages.”@elirallo#wineandchippairing♬ Classic Jazz Piano - Relaxed and bright(1016589) - PonettoWorking with renowned sommelier and founder of Elizabeth & Wine, Elizabeth Hawthornthwaite, Getir is on a missionto give us the British take on pairing wine with crisps. ‘’We can think about crisps and wine as a more modern, informal version of the classic cheese and wine pairings,” Elizabeth said. “Crisps are more accessible, more affordable and more familiar to many people and they’re a natural go-to for wine drinkers. They also have the added benefit of not giving you strange dreams!’’So… what makes crisps and wine just so darn good?‘’Crisps are salty and crunchy, which can contrast nicely with many different styles of wine,” Elizabeth explains. “The saltiness of the crisps helps to bring out fruit flavours in the wine, while the fat content offsets the wine’s acidity or tannins. There are almost as many varieties of crisps as there are wines these days, and the best pairings will depend on the specific flavours and characteristics of each.’’ The ultimate guide to wine and crisp pairingRed wineMalbec & Pringles Texas BBQ crisps‘’The robust, smokey and dark fruit flavours of Malbec are beautifully complemented by BBQ or meat-flavoured crisps,” Elizabeth says. “The wine’s moderate tannins and acidity balance the rich flavours found in these crisps. For a pairing that will tickle your taste buds and take you by surprise, I recommend Texas BBQ Pringles.’’ White wineChenin Blanc & Walker’s Salt and Vinegar crispsElizabeth mentions the slight sweetness in Chenin Blanc wines counterbalances the salty and tangy flavours in salt and vinegar crisps, creating an interesting sweet-savoury interplay. “It’s got to be Walker’s here,’’ she mentions.Rosé wineProvence Rosé & Lentil crisps“Rosé wines such as Provence Rosé find its perfect partner in light, zesty and herb-infused crisp flavours. Herbs and delicacy are the most important elements here.”She says lentil chips in chilli and lemon flavouring will enhance but not overpower the wine. Sparkling wineChampagne & Walkers Ready Salted crisps’’You can almost taste it as you picture it: the iconic simplicity of classic salted crisps meeting the sparkling sophistication of Champagne. It’s a combination all about contrast, where the salty and savoury crisp cleanses your palate between sips of Champagne’s bubbly brilliance.”If you’re feeling fancy, Elizabeth insists truffle-infused crisps can level up the combination even further.Prosecco & Pringles Sour Cream and Onion‘‘If you’ve ever had the old classic of Pringles Sour Cream and Onion with a glass of prosecco on a flight, you’ll know that this one is a winner. The creamy notes in the Pringles find their match in the crisp sweetness of Prosecco.’’ Ready to start snacking?

Netflix has released the first teaser of their highly-anticipated upcoming reality series, Squid Game: The Challenge. Based on the Korean-language drama phenomenon, the spin-off follows the same format as Squid Game, but with one important twist – this time the game is real. A whopping 456 players have to compete in a chilling set of challenges inspired by the biggest Netflix TV debut of all time, such as the famous Red Light, Green Light, and the killer tug of war. The incentive to survive this ruthless environment is the “biggest cash prize in reality show history” of $4.56 million (that’s around £3.78 million), which is up for grabs for the lucky winner. The trailer closely mirrors the eerie series that 111 million of us tuned in to watch, though this game promises to provide entertainment without the graphic violence. Though it’s still unclear what happens when contestants are eliminated, it is certain to have us at the edge of our seats. The synopsis reads: “As they compete through a series of games inspired by the original show - plus surprising new additions - their strategies, alliances, and character will be put to the test while competitors are eliminated around them.”The Netflix spin-off was announced back in June and is set to arrive on the platform on 22 November 2023. READ MORE:23 Entertainment Moments We Still Have To Look Forward To In The Second Half Of 2023Netflix Responds To Fans' Major Gripe With Squid Game Season 2 CastingNetflix Is Really Spoiling Squid Game Fans With Two Major Announcements

This photo shows the aftermath of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911. Over the last week or so, you might’ve come across the online discourse about the Roman Empire. To sum it up, there’s been a social media trend in which people ask the men in their lives how often they think about ancient Rome. The answer for many: quite frequently. But amid the online chatter about men’s surprising (or perhaps unsurprising) fixation with the Roman Empire came another interesting question. What’s the equivalent for women?The sinking of the Titanic, the six wives of Henry VIII, the Salem witch trials and the death of the Romanov family are among the more popular suggestions (along with non-historical fixations like the fear of kidnapping and anxiety about past social interactions). But another tragic disaster that looms particularly large in this conversation is the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
