Right your really making me hungry. I could go for a nice fish supper covered in vinegar or a pie and chips or even better fried haggis and chips.Sigh ......maybe I should just stick with my diet.

Cheese popcorn? YUM!!!

In my younger less health concious days every Friday was chippy day.The chips were fried in beef dripping.Pudding ,chips and mushy peas.mmmm

I`ve been following this post with great interest but I do find it worth mentioning that the best chips are not frozen before frying.The beef dripping(or LARD for some readers) is just a fond memory for me also but corn oil is a fine substitute. Ketchup: Yuuk, mayonnaise: Yuuk, vinegar well just a light sprinkling (although it is usually labelled "non-brewed condiment" to comply with regulations). The newspaper wrapping went out when it was discovered that the printing ink was linked to cancer. It surprised me the last time I was in the UK how expensive it is to walk into a chip-shop. The bloke who posted the original question is now responsible for a few cases of astronomical cholesterol levels, high blood-pressure & one severe case of nostalgic home-sickness,.....I miss the Barracuda fish bar ,Duke Street ,Sheffield.

Over here, we call crisps crisps, French fries chips, and chips potato wedges. The best thing with chips or wedges are chunks of Sri Lankan roast mustard pork, topped with raw onions. Accompanied by Lion Lager or arrack&coke of course.

A close second is the fav German accompaniment to chips (or pommes as they call it) -- currywurst! German sausage of choice, chopped up and dunked in curry sauce.
