Chips: Salt or Vinegar first

[discokermit]

He's not going to win anything, putting brown sauce on chips. I'd imagine his rivals looking on with mix of amusement and professional horror

its attitudes like this that will be the final nail in the coffin of the union.

White vinegar or Malt ?

If there is a Union representing our great chip making folk, I'd imagine he's been thrown out.

White vinegar or Malt ?

On chips? Malt, but that's so obvious, I assume you mean something else ?

 

[moose]

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?

You are wrong, cock.
I have vinegar then salt added in the shop, so the salt can stick to the surface, then wash it down with another liberal splash of Sarsons when I get home.

Brown sauce is terrific and all, but though I'd be happy enough with it on a chip if was having sausage and chips, I wouldn't choose it ahead of ketchup or mayo if was having just chips.

Brown for sausages or egg
Red for bacon or chips
Mayo for chips

When I get a burger from the takeout I have mayo in the burger and ketchup on my chips

Even the thought of mayo makes me want to hurl

Local chippy uses white vinegar.

Not everyone can stomach Malt vinegar .

I don't like chips, I don't like salt and really don't like vinegar.
I should probably not be taking part in this thread.

At the risk of oversharing about what goes on in the depths of my diseased brain, one of my great formative crushes was on someone whose favoured chip shop order was a chip butty* with garlic mayo, and to this day I sort of think of a chip butty with garlic mayo as being a meal that has a certain sort of romance and glamour attached to it.

Have we had anyone arguing for curry sauce yet? I reckon we need a new poll, "what's the second-best condiment to put on chips after ketchup?"

* god, hadn't even thought about the butty/barm/cob/whatever the fuck controversy till now

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I hate ketchup more than salt and vinegar. It's one step away from putting sugar on chips.

 

[Biddlybee]

Been so long since I've had chippy chips I don't know what order they do it in

Yes. Hence why I can just about forgive my 5 year old for it, but there's a number of over 5s here, who need to have long hard look in the mirror

Not on pizza. To dip. Not posh pizzas like domino’s. The little frozen ones from Asda.

I make chimichuri to dip my pizza crusts. Or warmed butter with garlic thinly sliced and cooked gently in the butter. Needs a little oil to stop the butter burning.

That made me laugh and laugh and laugh.
Aces.

That gives me an idea...

Curry sauce allowable, if it's good.

It's clear that early experience stunted your pallette's development, hence the ketchup issue.

 

[Raheem]

I like mayo on chips. I know perfectly well this will never be accepted by society, though. I avoid doing it when there are children present.

Chip butties with garlic mayo...ace!

Curry chips...

I only hope you can be rehabilitated

 

[iona]

Don't think I've ever noticed what order they do it. Might need to have chippy tea tomorrow night for science.

Quite correct. One doesn't wish to share.

 

[Orang Utan]

I don't know - either

I don't think there's any hope, but I feel I have things reasonably under control so long as I can resist opening that second jar.

I trust you don't live with kids, impressionable adults or well, just anyone.

Finally a benefit

I did once go visit that Bristol and found this place:

Vinegar first. It’s simple logic. Not only does the vinegar act as glue for the salt, as all right-thinking posters have said, but it stops the salt from being washed away.

The correct amount of vinegar on a bag of chips is “enough that your eyes water from the fumes.” Now, if you’re having some weak little sprinkle of vinegar, I can see it might leave the salt intact. But if the proper amount of vinegar is anointing your chips, it will have washed away the salt you’ve pointlessly applied beforehand.

Drench, then shake. It’s the only right way.

I have a feeling I probably shouldn't say anything about brown sauce.
