I'm a ketchup girl. However I nearly left DP when he came back from the kebab shop with a felafel wrap with ketchup in it.

You are all mad, mint sauce on Chips is ace. Seriously try it.

Blatherskite · 10/06/2012 21:56

Mint sauce on Kebabs is amazing. Especially if it's a yogurt and mint sauce.

Actually have no idea if our local chippy do gravy. Will have to check next time I'm in.

What the flying fandango are you people on about?

Gravy?

On chips?

Blooming nora.

Get chippy chips, put in nice big cob, soak with a litre or two of vinegar, trowel on the salt, ketchup and braaawn sauce on the side to dippy. From the fridge mind you, to cool the chips down if too hot m'kay.

Alternatively, salad cream to dip but no vinegar or salt.

I wants chips now.

I think my tastes might be a bit cosmopolitan compared to you common lot as I like mayo with my chips.

....ooooh thats a bit exotic

Mayo is the only sauce my DM will eat on chips. She's from Belgium though.

VivaLeBeaver · 10/06/2012 22:08

I used to live near a chippy in the north east that did fab garlic sauce on chips.

HmmThinkingAboutIt · 10/06/2012 22:09

Mayo on Chippy chips is wrong. Mayo on pub chips is right.

thebody · 10/06/2012 22:14

I am hungry now.

VivaLeBeaver · 10/06/2012 22:21

I'm going to have to go to the chippy tomorrow now. Have an experiment, Mayo on some, spice on some, cheese on some. Can't bring myself to do gravy though.

GinevraMollyWeasley · 10/06/2012 22:22

Urgh mayo. When I lived in Belgium and France one of the worst things was the lack of vinegar in chip shops- just salt? Pfft, that's not a meal!

moonbells · 10/06/2012 22:23

Did you have to mention scallops? Not had one of those for decades

Never mind. Going to see parents in a fortnight. Shall wangle a visit to the chippy!

ChaosTrulyReigns · 10/06/2012 22:26

But I can't stand gravy full stop. Not on anything never mind decent chips. I wouldn't even have it on mash.

VivaLeBeaver · 10/06/2012 22:52

Does anyone else sometimes wonder what all the stuff in the chippy fryer is? Obviously I can spot the fish and the battered sausages. But then there are other battered things, normally round and I've never had them as I don't know what to ask for. Are they burgers, fritters, scallops. There are different piles of slightly different sized round things.

rainydaysarebad · 10/06/2012 22:54

Do you really want to know how gravy is made? It's all the black stuff that builds up in the oil!! It's all scraped out wen the oil is changed and mixed with other ingredients to make it. I bet they don't change the oil on a Sunday! Never eat gravy from these places! Yuck!
