You made me laugh, and also have a good point, but getting greasy chip bits down your shirt would not do!Daystar Clarion said:I also read that with the Major's voice in my head.lovestomooch said: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!
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!
LOL, you're welcome! And thanks for a positively Anglo-tastic thread! *hrk*Daystar Clarion said:I'm sticking that in my profile now![]()

Also while I am willing to agree with a total lack of ketchup, you just gotta have tartar sauce D:<
And you.Rand-m said: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-

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 thoughSckizoBoy said: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!)Hipsy_Gypsy said: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?Though I mudt admit, I'd happily enough eat it with my fingers, lol.

You there, Yes you!Scrumpmonkey said: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.Daystar Clarion said:Chippy Snipy
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.

Fun fact; all chippys south of birmingham are considered as chippys for sissy girly men.
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.)El Poncho said: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!
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!Daystar Clarion said:The Scots were always a little strange.El Poncho said:You will not like those in the east of Scotland who put mayonnaise on their chips, that's what the chippy ask them!

I blame the French.
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.Azure-Supernova said: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.
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.Hipsy_Gypsy said: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!
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!Sizzle Montyjing said: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...
Scrumpmonkey said: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".Abandon4093 said:QUOTED FOR ULTIMATE TRUTH AND UNWAVERING JUSTICE!... and scientific science.Scrumpmonkey said:Fun fact; all chippys south of birmingham are considered as chippys for sissy girly men.
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!
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.Hollock said: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.

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!Hipsy_Gypsy said:That it is! Whereabouts in the UK are you?
