On the subject of condiments beyond salt and vinegar, I have a ranking system based on how often I'm in the mood for a particular additive.
1) Chilli-enhanced mayonnaises are my favourite. The best of the lot is the one with smokey chipotle peppers. Unbeatable.
2) Ordinary mayo is easier to find, but not as exciting. A tasty way to moisturise the morsels.
3) Gravy is nice, but it's not really a thing down south so I keep forgetting it's an option.
4) Salad cream is another one I haven't had in ages. It kinda feels like a budget alternative to mayo. Better than nothing.
Brown sauce doesn't go on chips, and I don't have ketchup because I have developed past puberty.

What I put on chippy chips and in what order really depends on how I'm going to eat them.
These days I only seem to have them if we get fish and chips with my parents and then it's wrapped take away and we're usually sharing chips, my mum doesn't like salt or vinegar on hers so I put in on mine at home once it's on the plate. By that time it's doesn't really matter when order the salt and "non brewed condiment" * go on. And I'll have mayo or tartar sauce as its fish.
On the odd occasion I have an open pack of chips to myself, fresh from the chippy, I'll put a little non brewed condiment on first, good shake, a fair amount of salt, good shake, more non brewed condiment, good shake, eat.
I will only have ketchup very specifically if it is a cold day and I'm at the seaside.
God I really want a pack of hot, crisp, salty, vinegary chips NOW!
* Only non brewed condiment goes on chippy chips, malt or other kinds of vinegar is just wrong.
I like the white "onion" one and loads of it

Once the pool of vinegar is on, and the curry sauce and the mushy peas there's no room for sauce of any colour
My lad loves these off the Chinese. But they’re in the ‘Chinese’ category rather than the ‘chippy’ category.
Yes that’s probably right.

I didn't mean to do that but it's funny how many of you know non brewed condiment. I worked in a chippy for about 5 years from a kid to until I got a "real job". I miss it, not the chippy but the NBC malt vinegar doesn't do it for me or the white stuff either. But also it's a nostalgia thing like no one makes (insert your favourite food) like MA did. Tks for the welcome btw Edie xRoseygirl has blown this thread wide open tbh(welcome btw
Have you seen the price of the pizzas? £15 each for a medium!! My kids have to get them from the local student takeaway places instead.

I have never seen them in the wild but I have heard about them and they sounds frickin' delicious!

They were available in NE England when I was a kid - lovely things. That, or chips and scraps after going to the baths on Saturday morning.

so defeated, thinks it's funny
You can get them in Yorkshire as well. Discokermit reckons they're called Klondykes, which I'd never heard before. I thought the difference was that fritters can be made from anything (spam, pineapple, mushy peas, bananas, probably other things), but scollops are just potato? Anyway, chips with scollops on the side are... a lot of potato. Still good though.

Fritters here are assumed to be potato fritters. If you want a banana fritter you need to specify, or you’d get potato.
we have a potato pie in Preston too, it's all good. Big Irish diaspora round here.

I like pea fritters. I’ve mainly seen them commercially around East Cork. But my granny would make them. They’re fab. You use dried split peas soaked overnight then boiled to buggery.
Science fail
Put my order in then got banished to a socially distanced waiting area in what would be the eat-in restaurant in non-covid times. Couldn't see the counter from there so not sure if salt or vinegar went on first, and the woman serving was already regaling the fryer man with weird shit customers had said earlier in the day so didn't really want to add myself to the list by asking. Had to add my own vinegar when I got home anyway.

I could go another portion of chips now tbh
Just debating whether turning up twice in an hour is more or less likely to turn me into a weird customer anecdote than attempting a disguise.Similar threads
