oh whoa

i've only ever had them with ketchup or cheese. cheesy curly fries are the best, as far as i know.

mayonnaise

I'm totally prepared to be alone this such is my unassailable belief in this

Mayonnaise

as an accompaniment to cheesy chips is heaven.

Mayo is good but I wouldn't say the best

I also a fan of gravey and to a lesser extent cheese, with curry at a push. Tomato ketchup I tend to save for my hot dog or burger. S&V is a classic.

salad cream!

I've only met one other person who agrees with me on this, so i expect to be berated for my choice in accompaniment

_pip | 23 Apr '08, 23:19 | Send note | Report this | Reply

...

Mayonnaise
Ketchup
Salad Cream
Brown Sauce

are all perfectly acceptable sauces w/chips.

JayPe | 23 Apr '08, 23:21 | Send note | Report this | Reply

salad cream is good! ^5

but it's tied with barbecue sauce and worcestershire sauce.

Constellation | 23 Apr '08, 23:24 | Send note | Report this | Reply

plus those.

JayPe | 23 Apr '08, 23:25 | Send note | Report this | Reply

i dont get people's obsession with mayo, it tastes of nothing...just as how i don't undestand people who DON'T like mayo. Salad Cream has a flavour at the very least, even if you put a little bit on you know it's there! Unlike mayo, that tasteless little bitch.

however

if you have both mayo and sweet chilli sauce mixed together, you have a winning combination right there. Mmmhmm. Sexy.

(should really go make some chips now)

Ketchup

Simple yet classic.

Isolated | 23 Apr '08, 23:20 | Send note | Report this | Reply

What's the stuff

that looks a bit like mayo but is usually served with scampi?
Anyway, that. It totally pawns mayo with chips any day.
Oh and gravy. Common as muck, but oh SO good.

I prefer them just salted

and with a bit of pepper on. I've never really liked ketchup and not one for a lot of dressings and sauces and that kind of thing.

gravy

with a bit of salt and vinegar

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

interlol2 | 23 Apr '08, 23:25 | Send note | Report this | Reply

this is such an impossible thing to judge

curry sauce on chips can be great

but so can mayonnaise

so can mushy peas

and so can bread and butter in a good ol' chip butty

brusma | 23 Apr '08, 23:26 | Send note | Report this | Reply

salt and vinegar

especially next to some fresh deep fried grimsby haddock from my local chippy

Mayonnaise FTW!

Special mentions to Zigeuner sauce (Germany-centric) and chip spice (Hull-centric) too.

with chips

dear god

i really REALLY want some chips now

whiterussian | 23 Apr '08, 23:34 | Send note | Report this | Reply

i want some REAL chips

i don't want some city centre takeaway fries

i want thick chunks of potato, fried in so much liquid heart-attack that they droop, i want them covered in loads of vinegar (and a little salt)

by liquid heart attack

Real Chip Shops

should be given some kind of preservation, national trust kind of status.

Captain_Robot | 23 Apr '08, 23:56 | Send note | Report this | Reply

I agree with that

there are some amazing ones in Whitby, that would get my vote.

ketchup and mayonnaise

isibuko | 23 Apr '08, 23:57 | Send note | Report this | Reply

actually

tartare sauce + chips = win.

Ibzo | 23 Apr '08, 23:59 | Send note | Report this | Reply

^ fail

but that's only because i can't eat or smell tartare sauce any more without feeling ill after the time i ate a whole jar of it in about ten minutes

so maybe i should get the fail

brusma | 24 Apr '08, 00:05 | Send note | Report this | Reply

holy shit

where did you buy a jar from? i love the stuff, but eating a whole jar of it in ten minutes would make me piss out of my arse, i suspect.

Ibzo | 24 Apr '08, 00:15 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Ketchup or mayonnaise.

There's a chip shop in Farnham which will give you a heart attack. So oily. I coud feel the damage as I was eating them.

Watching people mix ketchup and mayonnaise

makes me very ill.
mayonnaise = Rotten eggs + zit cream.

BBQ sauce

Peri-Peri sauce.

jimitheexploder | 24 Apr '08, 01:11 | Send note | Report this | Reply

tartar sauce

or mushy peas.
or curry sauce.
or sweet chili sauce

hell yes. Hunger.

Andreas | 24 Apr '08, 08:20 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Only gays and southerners eat Curry sauce with chips.

Gravy, Mushy peas and a steak pudding is the correct answer.

tartar

mayo
a bit of mustard
