Chips and gravy.

[Pippyls67]

Had this for the first time ever yesterday. Well! My oh my! What a revelation! Beats ketchup and Eve mayo any day of the week. Try it and see if I’m being unreasonable 😋. Also - any more fabulous foody wonders out there I might be missing? What do you knock up when you just want a once in a blue moon self indulgent treat?

Chips and sweet n sour sauce was a standard Sunday dinner when I was a student.

The best chips and gravy I’ve ever had was at the cafe at Barter Books in Alnwick.
Agreed!

This!!

I do like chips and gravy, but chips and cheese in a roll / bun / bap / softie / whatever you call it (let's not start that argument) is the ultimate post night out filler upper!

But only from a Chinese takeaway, chip shop curry sauce, is not nice usually

Standard where I come from and absolutely fucking lush! The food of the gods.

Yuk, yuk, yuk. We have our favourite place where the chips are cooked to soft, fluffy inner, roughed up crispy edged perfection, like mini roast potatoes. Why would I ruin that perfection by dunking them and making them soggy?

Chips and gravy is the best ❤️ put some grated cheese on top and you have Poutine 🤤

Chips cheese and gravy for the win. The gravy has ti be really thick

This definitely was about the only thing we would eat at the high school canteen in the 90's.

DCs now don't seem to have it. Maybe it's not allowed in school anymore!

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

She's not, I've never had chips with gravy! But sorely tempted to do so after reading this thread...

Chips and gravy I get but fish and gravy. Really?

wtf - it should have its status as a chippy revoked.

Chips and gravy is awful.

The best thing about chips is the slightly crunchy outside and fluffy inside.

Putting them in gravy just makes them go soggy.

You wouldn't soak your crisps in water because it makes them soggy, so why put gravy on chips ?

If you want gravy and potatoes gravy and mashed potatoes is better and more sensible and doesn't waste the crunchiness and taste of the fat.

Poutine takes it to another level. Unfortunately I have never been able to find poutine as good as the stuff in Canadian ski resorts - and since we had DC, we can no longer afford to go to Canadian ski resorts.

Has to be Chip Shop Chips & Gravy.
It’s not as good with Oven Chips.

The first time I encountered chips and gravy was on a holiday "up north" in the mid 80's. I'm from the West Country and at that time chip shops down here didn't sell gravy and nobody I knew would've dreamt of puting chips and gravy together. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I encountered mushy peas too. Anyway, we went into a chip shop in Lancaster (I think) and the server asked if I wanted gravy with my chips. I laughed because I thought he was joking. He really wasn't.

Chips with Worcestershire sauce. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

have not RTFT. I am possibly the sole northerner who loathes chips & gravy. Chips and any type of hot sauce, in fact. Urgh.

Doesn't it make the chips go soggy though. Never fancied it for this reason.

Chips, gravy, bit of ketchup and add a rag pudding. You'll not look back ;)

A whatnow?

Yes i love fish and gravy when it soaks into the batter😋

Another long term chips and gravy advocate here and I’m a Southerner.

But I will add Tartare sauce in beans to the mix, quite literally.
