I guess in this survey “sauce” means something people pour all over their food. By the way, wtf is chip sauce? Never heard of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 'Survey conducted on Reddit', with '670 replies'. I'd take more salt with the survey than with the chips TBH. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, an Edinburgh delicacy / disgusting habit It is HP Sauce mixed with vinegar that replaces vinegar Go into any Edinburgh chippy and the question will be "Salt and Sauce?" To which any sane person will reply, "No you f***en heathen just get the Malt Vinegar out you absolute pervert" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos the latter might be understandable - dunno, never tried it - but the former would be baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adds a teeny bit of sweetness to the vinegar. It's no curry sauce though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 25, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 25, 2021 I remember being asked in Scotland "Soss?" and being baffled. I said no so I can't tell you if it's any good, but it sounds like a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP is perfectly fine in the correct setting, which for me is fry ups and the like. Not really ever tried pure HP on chips though, never appealed The fact that your chips look like they've been spat at by the final surge of a sphincter emitting severe diarrhea is a little off putting and not even salt can quell that thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said no so I can't tell you if it's any good, but it sounds like a bad idea. Back in the day, many Edinburgh chippies were Italian run (might still be today but I don’t know). The popular refrain was always “salt an a soss?” in a strong Italian accent. It’s been years since I’ve had it but might knock up a batch myself now I think about it.

It looked like black printer ink and it had seaped into the mash on the side turning it into a grey mulch. It was all awful, but I managed to keep a straight face for long enough to convince the Mrs to try some. She nearly puked at the table and I cried laughing at her reaction. Totally worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
