... to know that people who put ketchup on chips are as common as muck.

[complexnumber]

Salt and (malt) vinegar on chips, there is no other option for decent folk.

Ketchup is only acceptable on fishfinger sandwiches, nothing else.

You can always recognise a person of character by their use of sauce.

HP/Brown sauce: indicates a trustworthy soul with whom you could probably trust your latest betting tip

Salad cream: Not a serious person, very unreliable.

Using Oil/vinegar salad dressing: Pretentious and probably not listening to anything you are saying.

French Mustard: Wimp, and probably hoping it's the same mustard that is squirted, unasked, on their hot dog at the cinema. Far too sweet. Avoid these people.

English Mustard: The No.1 of all condiments. Anyone who uses English mustard demonstrates qualities of individualism, integrity and insight.

May I suggest you use this as a guide rather than a mantra. And any additions would be gratefully received.

Ketchup is the most vile disgusting thing ever!!

I have olive oil and lemon juice on my salad, what does that say?

When I was on Holland, a friend gave me chips with ladles of mayo, spicy satay sauce and raw chopped onion all over it.

It was the best thing ever...

until the heartburn kicked in....

I like cheese on my chips

I think I might have a chip buttie for supper. With ketchup.

And if you don't like it, I'll eat yours too.

I think ketchup's quite classless.

Chips mushroom and gravy from the Chinese take away is divine

i like ketchup for dunking and tomato chutney in chip butties.not sure what that says about me!

OP when you say "ketchup" you mean Heinz don't you. I insist on homemade stuff using organic heirloom tomatoes.

I'm not sure cheese curds and gravy counts as a "sauce" but I like that too and I'm not even Canadian.

I do apologise Mrs. Boooookeyyy!

cheese and gravy on the chips and in a sandwich < drooling just writing about it> sounds foul but it is delicious!

white wine ninegar, and white pepper, if it's (battered) fish and chips

Hellmans ketchup (better than Heinz) if it's steak and chips

Mayo otherwise.

Curry sauce. Mushy peas.
All mushed up in styrofoam.
I am that common.

The vinegar from home made pickled onions with chip shop chips. Am I alone?

Chips, egg, brown sauce. Not HP brand, 'Daddy's Favourite', which my husband calls 'Mummy's '. See, that's what makes us common, not the combination of foods.

Some of my *s went astray. I'll leave you to think about that one.

you guys have waaaaaay too much free time!

People are divided into those who think these things are important and those that just... don't. Consider toast. Do you care?

Where do you stand on Reggae Reagge sauce? Or indeed Henderson's Relish?

HP on an English breakfast.

English mustard with sausages or cheese. (Though what's wrong with grey Poupon? Not exactly mild...)

Sweet chilli sauce with Philadelphia on toast.

My home-made napalm Scotch Bonnet sauce on everything.

I do love my condiments, me.

Dreamer, no you're not - perfect vinegar/chip combination.

I don't really like anything on chips, but if I'm feeling saucy I'll go for fritesaus. We bring it home from Holland especially

Alternatively, the peri peri salt in Nandos is quite nice.

No ketchup, ever, on anything.

Lemon juice and lemon juice only on fish finger sandwiches. Exceptions made only if there is decent tartar sauce available. And the bread must be toasted.
