To think that gravy on chips is illogical.. and working class...

My heart sinks when I have a meal with fries and (it IS always) a working class server decides without asking that any liquid on the plate is there solely to turn something that is clearly cooked for crispyness into mush. Its the same with beans or anything.

Its double illogical (which I think is a class thing) because NOT doing that means you can have soggy and shit or crispy and lovely, whereas once a fry even remotely touches mush, its fucked.

I know about Iceland, but are all working class meals flavourless gullet swilling mush? Is that where it comes from?

Desperate for some chips and curry sauce now.

CupidStuntSurvivor · 14/03/2015 14:51

Just ask for it separately.

As for your last question, what exactly do you consider a working class meal?

ghostyslovesheep · 14/03/2015 14:51

chips and gravy is my fave every chippy meal (only in the north though - down south they can't do gravy)

and I'm a middle class wishy washy liberal so stuff that up your pipe your highness

hiccupgirl · 14/03/2015 14:52

No gravy on chips is god's own food and I regularly lament the fact that chip shops down south don't sell gravy.

Working class???? No idea about that bit.

Nothing better than gravy on fat chip shop chips

Mayo for crispy fries

MetallicBeige · 14/03/2015 14:52

I hope a roast dinner has never passed your middle class lips then, gravy? roast potatoes?

ghostyslovesheep · 14/03/2015 14:53

I'm surprised you are eating chips at all OP - do they go with Swan and gold plated veg?

SmokingGun · 14/03/2015 14:53

Chips and curry sauce (proper curry sauce) is the food of Kings.

Chips and gravy does come a close second though.

TheNewSchmoo · 14/03/2015 14:54

Working class servers. Oh how we laughed at the poor attempt at goadiness.

ginmakesitallok · 14/03/2015 14:54

Op doesn't eat chips, she eats "fries"

SisterMoonshine · 14/03/2015 14:55

Does the same go for gravy on crispy pastry then?

misskatamari · 14/03/2015 14:55

Chips and gravy with cheese from the chippy. Yum yum yum!

OttiliaVonBCup · 14/03/2015 14:55

Wouldn't double illogical be logical then?

NotGoingOut17 · 14/03/2015 14:55

I never understood chips and gravy (although I am Northern) as I hate soggy food but I once tried some of my friends when we were drunk and have to say was surprised how good they were - though anything may have been good at that point. Haven't tried it again since.

But that said you are very fucking rude so not sure why I am even bothering to answer

finnbarrcar · 14/03/2015 14:55

killing myself at "working class meals". My parents were working class and we lived in a council house. We regularly ate steak au poivre, lobster and dover sole. My Mum was a good cook and loved feeding her family the best she could. In contrast we had "middle class" friends who ate practically nothing but sausages.

You are a snobby, goady, ignorant arsehole OP.

JassyRadlett · 14/03/2015 14:55

Avoid Canada.

(And other people in general, judging by your OP. For their sakes.)

squoosh · 14/03/2015 14:55

'Fries' sounds frightfully New World.

Tsk.
