Chips: Salt or Vinegar first

[Maggot]

Simple question.

I put vinegar on first as it helps the salt stick to the chips.

 

[Looby]

I was taught vinegar first when I worked in a chippy. I don’t add salt to my food now, I miss it.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I don't have either.

 

[discokermit]

only a fool salts first.

prevert.

Sun Tzu?

 

[danny la rouge]

It’s called salt and vinegar not vinegar and salt.

 

[discokermit]

Sun Tzu?

Vinegar isn't sticky. Salt first and the vinegar washes it over the chips further into the bag.

I was probably taught this as well but I would salt and vinegar simultaneously when possible. I was ambicondimentarous. And probably a bit of a wrong'un.

Exactly this.

everyone drove a lot slower when they were drunk and had no seatbelt.

 

[souljacker]

I don't have vinegar because its minging but my wife does and Mrs Wing from the chippie does salt first then vinegar and she's been in the game for years so I bow to her vast experience on the matter.

 

[dessiato]

Salt, then vinegar to spread the salt through the chips.

Of course mayonnaise is the proper accompaniment to chips.

Putting a seatbelt on was an insult to the driver!

adding insult to injury.

Mayonnaise is vile barely tasting white fat, and I have no idea why anyone likes it. Salad cream on salad is good, but has nowt to do with chips.

I like the chip spice and vinegar on mine. Vinegar first.

You want the vinegar afterwards to dissolve and distribute some of the salt - I thought every sensible person knew that? Evidently moose and sojourner don't - I thought you were northerners?

Radio 2 in the afternoon, I believe.

 

[danny la rouge]

I saw a programme last night (I didn’t stay the course: it was shite) where the evil private school teacher guy out of Nativity put butter on his chips. Not on a roll or something, just onto his chips! It was a bit of a weird programme altogether.

 

[discokermit]

this is the most fucked up fucked uppedness i have ever seen. salt first is ahead in the poll. my head is literally exploding. i need to leave this thread.

Yes, it's considered high treason to even think of adding that muck to chips izz

 

[Aladdin]

Grew up near an Italian chippy.
He always salted the chips first and shook the bag, then he shook in the vinegar.

They were the best chips. Twice fried and served in paper.

Right on the first past, but very wrong indeed on the second.
