I disagree with the use of the fork. It is very hard to get all the lovely crispy bits out of the bottom of the bag using one. Great for hot chips at the top though.
Nice continuation off a previous rubbish thread, congrats!
I also read that with the Major's voice in my head.

That pleases me.

I always find, that if the paper has been arranged in a conical shape, it's easier to just tip the bag to gain access to the crunchy morsals. Not very proper, but damn it! This is chips we're talking about!
You made me laugh, and also have a good point, but getting greasy chip bits down your shirt would not do!

Two things, first of all, never come down to my place of residence, you'll pitch a fit if you asked for fish and chips. XD

Two, I do not care for fish and chips. And I'm British.
Come at me, bro. ;)

As a Canadian I just have to say that while I have had some really bad fish and chips here, I dare say there are some really good places too: at least there are here in Victoria, BC.

Also while I am willing to agree with a total lack of ketchup, you just gotta have tartar sauce D:<

Dare I say it? Be it blasphemy? Because I've always enjoyed my fish and chips...

With tartar sauce.

EDIT: Read all posts to see that the topic hasn't come up. Get ninja'd.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU-
And you.

Are you trying to summon the Old Ones? Because that's what you're doing!

I blame television.

I tend to drown chippies in salt and vinegar but I'd never, ever, ever add anything else like ketchup. Eugh, who'd have thought? :p Though I mudt admit, I'd happily enough eat it with my fingers, lol.

Out of a chippy, must have salt and a dash of vinegar... nothing worse than a soggy tomato-soaked chip. *blech* Anyway, how uncouth! We civilised English people use the fork! =P (Sorry, couldn't help myself!)
LOL No worries! Awk, if there's a fork handy, I'd use one or if it's making my hands gross! If there was some sort of sauce on them, I'd definitely use a fork though :p

Chippy Snipy
I live in a village of under 200 people. We have THREE chippys (two of which you can keep down), a Cafe and a pie shop.

Actually here is a list of acceptable things to eat with chips other than fish and how to eat them;



Pie and chips; Eat chips with fork, shovel pie into your mouth with hands

Chips, Gravy and Mushy Peas; the messy man's choice but a rewarding one. Best eaten 4 days later of yout clothes

Chips and Steak Pudding; The thinking mans pie, eddible with a fork and best when punctured over chips

Egg and Chips; Eatching chips before midday but don't want to admit you are having an 11am breakfast? Egga and chips is always there for you.

Scampy and Chips; not in the mood for for pie? Too busy to cut fish? Scampi is your choice!

Chip Butty; Bap, Barm Cake, Bun or just two slices of bread.




[HEADING=1] So Sayeth the British Isles![/HEADING]

Fun fact; all chippys south of birmingham are considered as chippys for sissy girly men.
You there, Yes you!


You've earned it.

You will not like those in the east of Scotland who put mayonnaise on their chips, that's what the chippy ask them!

IT'S BLASPHEME!
I know one person who does that, and another who puts mayonnaise on their hot dogs. I'd be more appropriate to call them animals. Though I've never had fish and chips ('Cuz I'm American. My two friends weren't though.)

Why would you put ketchup on fish? I'm not British and that's just weird, on chips maybe but not fish, and I'm not a fan of tarter sauce.

A little salt and some vinegar goes a long way, and a beer goes perfectly with it!

I want fish and chips now....

Also, this is the best thread of the day!

The Scots were always a little strange.

I blame the French.
It is a strange land we live in, full of alien customs. I mean go into a chippy in Edinburgh and they may ask you if you want brown sauce! Brown sauce! And you thought putting your fish supper in a carton was a dangerous concept!

But yeh, all this talk is making me hungry. I'm all in the mood to run to the chippy that's just across the road now!

Amen! Tomato sauce with fish and chips... bloody fools, they're hiding the flavour of the dish by doing so! Can't beat the little wooden forks, though I've seen plastic tri-prongs popping up more frequently these days.

Hmm. I really want a chippie now. Fish and all. Pity they're so expenisive. The Friar Tuck here does a fish & chip for "only £4.99". Not even including a drink! Tsk!
Captain's Catch 'round the corner does fish, chips, curry sauce and a can 'o' pop for £2.99. Now that's a business plan.
That it is! Whereabouts in the UK are you? You'd think Northern Ireland would be cheap considering Ireland in general is infamous for our potatoes, huh.

Oh god i'm hungry now...
And kudos for you for not liking Tomato sauce!
I hate that stuff on EVERYTHING.

*nomnomnomnomnoms...*
So hungry...

However i don't like the vinegar, it's essentially like urinating all over chips, in fact i do beleive there are chemical similarities between the two...
I either take chips (in general anyroad) with nothing on them at all or loads of salt or loads of salt and vinegar :L Depends on what I'm in the mood for!

QUOTED FOR ULTIMATE TRUTH AND UNWAVERING JUSTICE!... and scientific science.
Fuck your gastropubs, give me chips and gravy served by a freindly man in a tracksuit which i can eat petting his elderly pet whippit outside sheltering from the rain whilst the scrap metal van chuggs past playing morrisy at full tilt and an elderly man in a flat-cap bids me a harty "oreet".

I want to walk down a highstreet with no fewer than 10 pie shops per square mile, i want to be able to talk to someone i don't know on the bus, i want gravy as think as my accent on my chips. I want to be up north!

You can't see me, but I'm crying and saluting.

If you ever holiday near me I will personally direct you to a good chippy and give you the money for it. That's how much you're missing.

West Midlands, the middle of the West Midlands in the middle of nowhere. To be fair to the chap he can push his stuff cheap because the nearest other shop is in town, which is at least a drive away (a 10 minute walk else). That and he's set up smack bang in the middle of a housing estate next to a Chinese, Tanning shop and boozer!
