What do you have on your chips?

[fractionMan]

That's all?

everything you need imo

 

[chymaera]

Salt, vinegar, and tomato sauce.

 

[cesare]

you're weird imo

Don't knock it till you've tried it

 

[tarannau]

That's all?

That's all that's ever needed on a proper fat style British chip. Anything else iis just unnecessary perversion. Especially that chemical filled gravy granule and curry sauce stuff. Vinegar, salt and more vinegar is the done thing.


French fries - those little sticks of frozen potato - are a different case in point mind. Slaver them in crap, for that is all they are really for.

I had some last night with meatballs at IKEA £1 They needed the meatball sauce stuff to soften them up. It's a mystery to me why french fries are so crap abroad when most of the other food is actually better than ours.

salt and vinegar for me

although I have recently been intorduced to the concept of "chips and cheese" which strangely enough works quite well.

Round our way the kids sprinkle it on then add gravy on top

Where's the mayonnaise option?

I don't eat chippie chips, just restaurant and/or pub chips. But when I have chips, I want a big bowl of mayonnaise to go with them. Mayo mixed with ketchup or mustard are also pretty good.

In America they think you're barking if you order mayo with your fries, they think it's too unhealthy. That always makes me laugh.

 

[Firky]

Salt. Lots of salt.

This is true, a proper fat chip is fine with salt and vinegar only.

But an even fatter chunkier chinese chip is fine with a sprinkling of MSG and a small tub of chinese curry sauce.

 

[quimcunx]

Hopefully I don't have anything. A little salt and vinegar. Maybe mayo or salad cream. v occasionally curry sauce from the chinese takeaway. Ketchup only if I'm stuck. gravy is good.

 

[sojourner]

Salt, vinegar, mayo on the side

Want now

 

[CharlieAddict]

mayo.
if no mayo then mushy peas.
if no mushy peas, brown sauce.

 

[Mallard]

I think all these mayo responses indicate the cosmo-european nature of these boards. The other day a younger work colleague looked at my sarnie and said 'Who on earth eats cheese and onion these days?'. He was tucking in to a 'panini' which was a football sticker company in my day

 

[miss direct]

I might have fish and chips tonight after all this.

 

[_pH_]

Mayo

 

[Orang Utan]

Mayo or s'n'v

 

[rennie]

Hummos when i'm back home.

 

[Nixon]

jizzz

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Mayo, while wrongness on kebabs, is the only correct addition to chips.

 

[mr steev]

Salt. Lots of salt.

No salt for me!

Just plenty of vinegar, black pepper and ketchup if they're with a pattie, peas or curry sauce if they're on their own

 

[moose]

Sarson's and salt, unless I'm in Chorlton, in which case I have veggie gravy.

I am reliably informed that all chip shop gravy is veggie. Apparently Bisto (not Bisto Best) gravy is veggie but they don't make a thing of it in case people stop buying it.

I could've been lied to I suppose.

 

[mr steev]

I could've been lied to I suppose.

Bisto powder is veggie, it's also cheaper than the granuals, so you're probably right

 

[Maggot]

Where's the mayonnaise option?

Yep mayo for me, although it should be multiple choice, cos I sometimes have ketchup, and sometimes cheese and sometimes just salt and vinegar.

 

[wtfftw]

No one has said marmite.

 

[Disaster]

I just drown mine in vinegar and add a layer of salt.

 

[vipper]

What worries me is when they call it 'Non Brewed Condiment'. What the hell's that made of?

A cheaper alternative, called "non-brewed condiment," is a solution of 4-8% acetic acid colored with caramel (usually E150). There is also around 1-3% citric acid present. Non-brewed condiment is more popular in the North of England

Random text because apparently this message is too short.

 

[lynne8]

loads of salt and malt vinegar

Cheese on chips sounds like the most ludicrously self indulgently fat-bastard-making thing ever.

I agreed with violentpanda's post on the other page really. IT does depend what you're having them with.
