I prefer Malt Vinegar on my chips.
In Scotland, that will offer you "Sauce". This is a mixture of Malt Vinegar and HP sauce, or Malt Vinegar and Daddies sauce, which is much the same to me.
Also in Scotland, the Chip Buttie has evolved into an unsliced white loaf, hollowed out, filled with chips, salted, and then generously doused with "sauce". I think I've mentioned this before.
They recently showed "The Breakfast Club" on TV again. One of the characters makes a sandwich with Cheeze-its, I think they are. That reminded me of my sister's Mars-bar-and-cheese-and-onion-crisp sandwiches.

Re: What do you put on your fries/chips?
Personally, I prefer Some Dude's Fry Sauce. It's a staple in our home, eaten on everything from fries to hamburgers to mac and cheese (tho we don't have mac and cheese much anymore, not since I was too poor to eat anythig else for the space of six and a half months during my single life, but that's another story for another disgusting thread!).susnfx wrote:See my post re Utah's famous fry sauce: 1 part catsup, 2 parts mayo (supposedly the people who started it had/have a secret ingredient, but the above is close enough). The best of both worlds!Walden wrote:Why wasn't mayonnaise a choice?BrassBlower wrote:What do you put on your fries/chips?
Catchup
Catsup
Ketchup
Something else
Nothing

Yummy!
For people to whom fry sauce is alien...

Ally Sheedy's character took the meat off her sandwich (throwing it onto a statue), sprinkled the bread heavily with Cap'n Crunch cereal, then poured the contents of a few Pixie Stix on top of that.Innocent Bystander wrote: They recently showed "The Breakfast Club" on TV again.

Cap'n Crunch
Pixie Stix
I wonder what useful information was forced out of my head to make room for that useless trivia.

Well, I appreciate it.

The bit where she threw the meat onto the sandwich took me back to school dinners. They used to serve custard in battered aluminium jugs. Each table sat eight people, and the table captain delegated one "volunteer" to collect the puddings, including the custard. The table captain would then dip a spoon in the custard to lift the skin. Assuming he didn't want himself, he would offer it round the table. If no-one wanted it (as usual) a quick flick of the wrist sent it to the ceiling, where it stayed.

And thus, as the years passed, successive layers of custard skin gave the dining hall ceiling an attractive faux-Venetian-plaster appearance, an R-38 insulation rating, and...other things I don't care to think about, involving multi-legged creatures.Innocent Bystander wrote:The bit where she threw the meat onto the sandwich took me back to school dinners.

I knew the word mayonnaise would be used somewhere here. Why not just roll your fries/chips in the cat litter box first too.
How can anyone eat that foul stuff?????
Except in tuna/potato/egg salad of course.
Anyone who'd eat mayonnaise on their fries would sleep in their underwear. (As my dad would say)

Mayo sorely needs garlic added to it before it is fit to accompany chips. I'd like to think you're being nice to your room-mate because you don't want to give him/her an inferiority complex. I wear nothing in bed and haven't done for forty years, but this is to avoid "jim-jam bottoms strangulation syndrome" (know what I mean, chaps? ) and has nothing to do with mayo. I don't think so, anyway...Congratulations wrote:I would sleep naked if I didn't think my roommate would mind.Cranberry wrote:For those of us who sleep naked what do we eat?Flyingcursor wrote:Anyone who'd eat mayonnaise on their fries would sleep in their underwear.

Blame Flyingcursor - 'twas he who constructed the subtle bridge between chip butties and sleeping in the buff. Nothing less than a masterstroke!scottielvr wrote:Uhm....we were talking about butties, weren't we?

Putting mayo on chips is nearly as foul a thing to do as putting malt vinegar on them. Yeesh! The things people will put in their mouths.
