Phil Silvers Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Home made steak and kidney pie, chips and garden peas last night, with gravy, now..... I didn't have vinegar, went for salt and pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I get that though, vinegar and gravy doesn’t always feel right, sometimes it does. I can forgive the lack of vinegar if there’s gravy in the equation. Although personally, I’m a vinegar and gravy man. Only time I won’t apply vinegar is if they’re fries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chippy chips and oven chips absolutely need vinegar, but not fries. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and the soggy chip merchants are obviously apply too much, at the wrong time or both. Chicken salt on fries for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It's mad how many chip shops can't put salt and vinegar on properly, it's up there with serving the chips is a tray for me, sacrilege because of incompetent staff who can't wrap chips and owners who are trying to pinch pennies Was on holiday in Scotland last year, got some fish and chips by the sea (in Skye I think) and they used a spray bottle for the vinegar, never seen that before 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons I don't like 5 guys - the peanut oil fried chips - really not for me The only thing I liked in 5 guys was the american drink machine with grape Fanta and the various cokes - but not proper mountain dew, or the best American drink which is obviously root beer I was in the States in December, American food would probably tick a lot of boxes on this thread, root beer floater being one of them Edited May 21, 2020 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinegar on chips is a standard, and as for saying it adds no flavour.......WTF, vinegar is a well strong flavour! (Unless you have coronavirus) It adds a lot of flavour. It's just not a very nice flavour. Certainly isn't worth it to have your chips feel like they've been passed under a tap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter, it still gives you soggy bits. And it doesn't even taste nice. I'd eat a plate of chips if it had vinegar on them, but I certainly wouldn't choose to have it 4 minutes ago, bannedfromHandV said: When you jizz on the missus does she get soaked head to toe?

If your having curry sauce, it needs to be proper chinese or indian curry sauce. It depends, the bog standard curry sauce most chip shops sell is rank. However, there is one type I grew up with that is the dogs danglies. It was sold in what we knew as the bottom chip shop (to distinguish it from the top one) in my granddads village in Wales, it's rather fruity with of fruit and sultanas in it. For ages I thought it must have been made in-huse as you could never get it anywhere else. But since I've been living out these ways I have two chippies that sell the exact same curry sauce, I am blessed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 21, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2020 chips without vinegar? Are you French?

No love get the proper vinegar out of the cupboard marked sassenachs please, do not even attempt to put that putrid bizarre mixture of brown sauce and vinegar on my chips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I was hammered last night and there were no munchies about, so I ate 2/3 of a jar of peanut butter, with New York BBQ sauce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot beat a chilled salad pitta smothered in hot sauce, getting a sweat on eating iceberg lettuce and tomato is one of life’s true pleasures.
