Chips: Salt or Vinegar first

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I don't understand why they can't be like long roast potatoes. They can be nice if hot and crispy with some veg.

You could hardly have a deep-fried pizza with a side order of roast potatoes, could you? It just wouldn't be right.

You just don’t understand chips at all. The nature of them, their unique role in the world.
“With some veg” lol.

"Would you like anything on your chiips?"
"Yeah, gimme a few slices of carrot and some swede"

I was thinking more broccoli, Brussels or fried cabbage. Green veg. Not sure it would work with carrots.

Potatoes are veg, and one of your five a day*.

*I know government guidance says otherwise but they're lying.

Fine, and though I technically agree, they are a stodgy, starchy veg that feel like something in-between crisps and potatoes, I'd still prefer them with something green like broccoli or sprouts.

Have some mushy peas with them then.

I don't like peas and chips. It doesn't seem like a very appealing combination.

I donno man, they just seem like filler. A bag of just chips just seems insane.

I agree, it’s not a meal. Just a side dish.

And some scraps.

you haven't been having proper chips then, really good chips barely need salt and vinegar and are a meal all in themselves

Maybe ATOMIC SUPLEX would prefer a battered deep-friend chip barm instead. Some bread as well as chips might be just the thing he needs in his life.

People who eat chippy chips off a plate at home - why? And how? Do you warm the plate first which is an amount of faff that goes against the whole ethos of a chippy tea, or do you eat cold soggy chips off an unwarmed plate?

My f-i-l always has his f&c on a proper plate which has been heated in the oven.

When I used to buy whole fish and cut it's head off, I used to amuse myself by moving the fish's jaws to make it 'talk'. Sadly I wasn't a very good ventriloquist.

that's ok, fish aren't great conversationalists anyway

Here's one for the contrarian so-called chip-dislikers: what about curly fries? Surely you can't deny that curly fries are sick as hell?

I don't have salt and vinegar on chips. I have eaten plenty of chips in the past. I've been around for quite a long time and lived in lots of different places and eaten chips a lot. I haven't 'really' enjoyed chips all that much and don't really dig potato products in general (though I don't hate).
Obviously I've never had the right chips and 90% of people haven't had the right sprouts.

Obviously looks rank. Are you saying this looks like a tasty treat? It's all starch.

Don't be daft, there's plenty of fat in it too.

It's something northerners have to eat after a trip to London. Like showering.

Have you thought about seeing a doctor about this problem?

Just realised that this thread is on the verge of turning into Green Eggs and Ham. Would you like them in a barm? Would you eat them on a farm?
