I tip my hat and salute you palm outward, sir.
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!

Funny, the majority of places I get my fish & chips from these days always provide the finished culinary product in the aforementioned container, usually then wrapped in a plain white paper. That's technological advancement for you, right there. Newspapers are old hat.
Not only does the carton allow the food to be safely contained should you suddenly find yourself having to run (be it toward or away from something), it also acts as a makeshift plate of sorts. The fish can be placed in one half, while the chips are stored in the other. This negates the need to dirty any household dishes, should you have ordered in.
Ask your nearest chippy about this exciting new development today!

I also read that with the Major's voice in my head.lovestomooch said:
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!
Hm... true story:
Class trip to London -i am from germany- FIRST thing we did, was getting out of the bus, and one dude bought some "Chips"... FRIES... whatever with mayo. He ate ONE, said "Eeew" and passed it on. Next dude "Eeew", passed it on. Next one: "Disgusting" and so on and so on. About TEN people couldn't stomach the taste and we threw the rest into the garbage... in front of the guy who sold them, massively rude assholes that we were *g*.
And this selfmix-"JUICE", the WATER, the breakfast cereal... MAN, never ate so bad in my life. Only the foreign restaurants were good. So yeah, in my eyes the english totally deserve the "worst cuisine ever "-award *g*. Well a few things were good, don't get me wrong, but maybe it was just London.

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.

In New Zealand, we've transitioned to tomato sauce. Not Ketchup, obviously, becuase it has to be Wattie's tomato sauce, but vinegar isn't so popular. Also, out here in the colonies we eat Fush and Chups, obviously =P

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...

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:
You missed the bit about how it has to have something poured over it that bears no resemblance to what it's supposed to be. Doesn't matter whether you go for gravy, peas, curry or beans, as long as you have at least one.
Mmmmmmm, fish and chips with peas, delicious.

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:<
