To always put vinegar on chips?

I don't eat chips often but when I do, I put vinegar on them. Tonight i had quiche and chips so naturally sprinkled some vinegar on. DH says I'm weird and chips only need vinegar when eaten with fish. I'm right aren't I?

Vinegar, salt, vinegar. Mayo on the side with a bit of American mustard mixed in!

cloudyweewee · 26/02/2018 19:07

Ooh now I hadn't considered mustard. Until now.

Malt vinegar only on chip shop chips only.

MongerTruffle · 26/02/2018 19:21

The vinegar in chip shops is rarely real vinegar. It's made of water, acetic acid and food colouring. They don't use brewed vinegar because "non-brewed condiment" doesn't contain alcohol (so is halal) and can be concentrated so is easier to transport.

girlsworld you will not be disappointed I assure you!!

Girlsworld92 · 26/02/2018 19:29

I'm going to find a recipe and give it a go x

SchoolMoney · 26/02/2018 19:40

Recipe might be a bit of a stretch.😂 Grab a cheap baguette, fill with chips, grated cheese and pour over the curry sauce. The cheap instant shit, not anything you'd use on an actual curry. Find somewhere to be alone and be warned it is sticky and messy.

Girlsworld92 · 26/02/2018 19:40

Sounds ideal 😀

Ah see I'm a picky fucker

If I have a chippy to take away that I eat whilst walking, salt and vinegar galore.

If I have one eating in, or take away straight home, no salt or vinegar!

Chinese black rice vinegar is absolutely amazing on anything!

It's a bit like a thin balsamic vinegar, but nicer.

I don't think I can eat chips without vinegar ... I might have a slight obsession with it. 😂 I remember going to my in laws once and they didn't have vinegar, i had to go out and buy some 😂 actually I lie, they has some balsamic vinegar which I just put on my child until I bought some!

I add it to curry too, which I suppose is fairly weird (not with chips), I just don't enjoy it unless I add vinegar.

When I was a child I would add vinegar to my ham sandwiches 😂. I've grown out of that now.

Yanbu. Vinegar with chips always.

CheshireChat · 26/02/2018 20:26

mummyhaschangedhername Has reached new levels of vinegar and chips obsession- she tried eating her child garnished with vinegar WinkGrin.

It gave me a chuckle.

goose1964 · 26/02/2018 20:31

I'm not a chip lo Dr always have vinegar on the odd occasion I have them, they're too greasy tasting without it. No to salt too

SchoolMoney · 26/02/2018 20:32

I just remembered my Grandad tried to convince me as a child that vinegar turned your blood into water in an attempt to curb the usage. He did not succeed.

HardAsSnails · 26/02/2018 20:34

Always vinegar except for chips and gravy.

okeydokeygirl · 26/02/2018 20:38

😨chips WITHOUT vinegar? Really what is the point? Does your DH think it OK to have Yorkshire pudding without gravy as well? If so then you need to ditch him now.

diddlemethis · 26/02/2018 20:42

Now I want chips. Chips with vinegar; salt and loads of HP sauce.

diddlemethis · 26/02/2018 20:44

Get to Edinburgh and have some "salt and sauce" on your chippy chips. The sauce is a very vinegary brown sauce. Now I am really hungry!

cjferg · 26/02/2018 20:46

YANBU

Being from the east of Scotland I think chippy chips are not the same without chippy sauce (brown sauce thinned down with loads of vinegar.) Just the combination of that with some beautiful crispy batter...

Now live in the west in salt and vinegar land and it is genuinely the thing I miss most especially now pregnant :(

Aeroflotgirl · 26/02/2018 20:46

Traditional fish n chips without vinegar is a crime.

DwangelaForever · 26/02/2018 20:46

The only reasonable way to eat chips is drowning in vinegar 😍

DwangelaForever · 26/02/2018 20:47

I love vinegar I used to put it on steak when I was a child, haven't done that in a while I must remember to do it when I'm out again 😂

OliviaStabler · 27/02/2018 11:08

Chips need lots of vinegar, salt and ketchup Grin

Buggeritimgettingup · 27/02/2018 11:14

Salt and vinegar at the seaside, hendos at home. There, sorted it for you.
