I've never heard of mayo on chips before. It sounds a bit weird.

Stuff people eat with chips

Ask for salt 'n' vinegar to be put on chips at the chip shop and when you get them home add more vinegar, then salt. I disagree with the notion that chips can't be eaten without vinegar. Chips can be eaten with just salt on [the rare] condition the chips are nice and crispy. I sometimes pause for thought before bathing my chips in vinegar because that can turn them mushy. But I do like vinegar.
Does anyone else admit to having an occasional quaff of vinegar on it's own? It really gets the juices flowing, but requires a water chaser. Similarly a solution of salt and vinegar licked off a plate tastes lovely, though this delicacy is probably a health hazard, not least for the teeth.Comment

Or maybe it's got something to do with having only been north of Gloucester once but one of the guys from work I went out with tonight asked for chips with GRAVY (!) in the chip shop. Gravy? That's just wrong IMO. I might strech to curry sauce once in a while but for me chips are to be served in a waxed paper cone with a big dollop of mayo dumped on top.

There aint no vinegar. Salt normally goes before the mayo, though very occassionally I skip the mayo and have a sprinking of cinammon.

I've always had mayo with chips when I've been to Germany.
I'm sure the chippies round here will do curry sauce or gravy on your chips. Not that I've ever asked, sounds horrible.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Proper chip shop curry sauce is acceptable but if you are having plain chips you have to put the vinegar on first, otherwise you wash the salt off. And you have to have a can of Vimto.+50 Xeno Geek Points

Me: "So what do you have with burger & chips?"
Her: "Salad"
Me: "Sausage and chips?"
Her: "Beans"
Me: "Steak and chips?"
Her: "Horseradish"
Me: "Steak pie and chips?"
Her: "Why would you serve potato with a pie?"
Me: "Because it is what God intended when he invented the steak pie and chip butty."
Her: "I'd forgotten about you and your 'butties'."
Me "Suet pudding and chips?"
Her: "Custard? And no chips?"
Me "Faggots and chips?"
Her: "Now you're just being silly."
Me: "Yorkshire pudding, roast beef and chips"
Her: "It should be boiled vegetables with beef, not chips"
However, she has never lived north of Wimbledon, and is a bit posh.
