Chips: Salt or Vinegar first

[Aladdin]

The answer no one wants: salt in the vinegar first, then poured on your chips.

In all seriousness my habit is to put the salt on first, even though I know the logical thing (as I have voted) is vinegar for stickage.

Alternatively - salt the chips immediately out of the fry oil for stickage, then vinegar.

I agree.

Salt first.
Shake the bag. It gets distributed and sticks to the hot chips because of steam from them.
Then vinegar...because it soaks into the chips..it does not wash off the salt.
It sets the salt on the chips.

ONLY salt, and a bowl of vinegar for dipping.

Do ye have Chef sauce over there?

Yes my dad has a bottle.

 

[8ball]

Obviously vinegar first.

Means you can chuck your soggy chips straight in the bin without wasting salt too.

Also this.
Why would anyone, who wasn't pissed on their way home from the pub, subject themself to soggy chips.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I’ve never noticed the difference

Daddies is sweeter & more vinegary.

They weren't

 

[UrbaneFox]

I refused to buy mushy peas with my deliveroo. £3 per carton, and no bigger than the one in Iona's fish supper.

 

[UrbaneFox]

That looks lush but you don't eat the crispy battered skin?
Or was it soggy by the time you got to it?

I usually avoid the skin. It just doesn't appeal.

It’s the best bit!

A good chip is best eaten with nothing on.

Sounds a bit racy. How many injunctions have you got from entering chippies naked then?

 

[discokermit]

what if a bit of hot chip drops in your lap?

This is like the Urban 75 equivalent of a gladiator going into the Colosseum holding a small snack for the lions...

 

[Orang Utan]

This is the U75 equivalent of a noob gladiator going into the arena holding a small snack for the lions....

Are you suggesting DK is a noob?

DK knows exactly what he’s doing - it’s more the equivalent of chucking in a hand grenade and sauntering off

Yeah I actually quoted the wrong post so deleted it and tried again quoting the post I meant to quote in the first place and responded with slightly different wording - it's difficult to have a spontaneous online social life with a ruddy great cat sat between face and keyboard/monitor

that is exactly how i would do it. in my left hand, holding it out, "here puss puss puss" then fuckin wallop. "kermits hammer" with a right hook in his fucking earole.

 

[discokermit]

or more likely throw the food to em and run off. either way, i would take a tin of catfood to that fight before i would take a sword.

Just been to the chippy for the first time since this thread started. Unfortunately, the guy was stood behind the counter when adding the salt and vinegar, and there was a thick plastic barrier in between me and the counter, so I couldn't actually see which one went first. Good for covid safety, bad for important scientific research I suppose. Anyway, the main point here is that yous all wish you were me right now (or more accurately me about twenty minutes ago, I ate the chips before posting about them):

In the interests of this thread I had fish and chips for tea last night. My local place has a new owner and they did salt first. And not enough of either so I had to redo it when I got home anyway

Ketchup, like fizzy pop and pudding, is for children
