    Pah! That doesn't count. The chips are on a serviette, so that's a gastropub.

    Chips in a pub hould come in a dirty, orange, plastic basket.

      Chips with Mayo is indeed a national dish in Belgium. Chips 'n' Gravy is standard student food as is Chips 'n' Curry as far as I've ever known it anyway. The vinegar is essential to enhance the gravy. I must admit that in Scotland, I do like battered Haggis though. Rarely these days can you get chips cooked in beef dripping, but it is truly the only way to have proper British Chips IMO.

        She was right. IMHO

        I first came across Hellman's Mayonnaise after a stint in France, so also considered it crap.

        Did you know that Hellman's is actually a Yank product?

        No wonder I didn't like it, especially once I had got used to the real thing.

          Ditto for battered fish, I believe.

          My father's eternal complaint when trying fish and chips down south: "Pah! They're cooked in oil!".

                The best way to eat chips is between two slices of buttered white bread, with a bit of salt and vinegar on.

                Chip butty. Mmm.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Agreed, had battered Pollock and Chips a few weeks ago. You could instantly tell they'd been cooked in dripping. I am not joking, the meal was memorable!
