[Chicane-UK Veteran]

[Amarok]

To everyone voting yes.

You are losing your Poll so you say everyone that votes for using Vinegar is stupid. I believe you are in the minority, even if this poll was world wide. I say only smart people use vinegar. People that don't just don't. There is no accounting for taste. :shifty:

vinegar on chips, ofc (with salt).

salt only on fries.

(yes they are different things :p )

This!

i don't care for ketchup, but i do like vinegar and salt, or mayo on them... or even mustard

i LOVE malt vinegar on fries but it takes the right type of fry. i would never consider malt vinegar on fries from such places as Wendy's, BK or McD's. You need a skin-on, fresh-cut fry from a fair or a restaurant like Penn Station. i have to put vinegar on fries like that!

oh, but salt & vinegar chips are freaking amazing :p

french fries w/ yellow mustard and pepper = amazing!

I put so much vinegar on my chips that when you breathe in, you start choking. Also the paper bag sometimes breaks :p

It's either gravy or malt vinegar with a dash of salt on my french fries

[MightyJordan]

Yes for me, but only when they're with fish. With everything else, I usually stick with just salt. When you're having fish and chips, you have to have salt and vinegar! It's just not a proper fish and chips without those two holy condiments! :p

I'm from NJ - and we have our own version of Poutine here (fries with mozzarella & beef gravy - sometime with American cheese instead).

But on the topic of the OP - hell yes for malt vinegar on chips when I'm having them with fish! The Times Square Brewery in NYC does an amazing job with that dish (along with German sandwiches on Bavarian pretzels!).

Just my 2??...

I bet 99% of people voting yes are from the UK area.

Malt vinegar on french fries is great. If you are ordering fish and chips then the malt vinegar naturally goes on both products.

The majority of you disappoint me. What happened to good taste?

[giantsnyy]

I love malt vinegar on Fries/Chips.

Can't eat them without it.

[Aaron Olive]

I don't mind only if it's Salt & Vinegar potato chips.

+1 vinegar and pepper on chips is a-mazing

What you call "potato chips" are "crisps" the UK.

What they call "chips", you would call "French Fries".

The French usually want to have nothing to do with what you call "French Fries".

Essentially, if a package a crisps falls off the back of a lorry and you take them up your lift to your flat then you know what country you are in.

Ha ha ha! :laugh: :laugh: This was pretty funny, but so true! It kinda grabs ya by the throat but all part of having a great munch!

[clotz2000]

Wow another food related poll, I despise vinegar by itself. In Ketchup, dill pickles, marinades, etc it's ok but the majority of stuff that has a high concentration of vinegar or even smells too vinegary I stay away.

Smells like sweaty feet to me, I like french fries (or Chips - UK version) by themselves with salt+pepper

[PsYcHoKiLLa]

Hell yeah! Salt, vinegar and brown sauce. In fact chip shop sauce in Scotland is made by mixing brown sauce and vinegar.

Better that than mayonnaise like in France or belgium, now THAT is gross!

[Syanide]

Hell no, it's just so uncommon around here I didn't even know the combination existed until a couple of years back. It's the same for me like when I heard some people salt watermelons -- WHAT THE...

[Dan~]

Yes vinegar first, must be malt. Then sparingly sprinkle on salt!

It'd be best if you had a Fish & Chip Shop, as chippy chips are the best, their vinegar is just different as with the salt, and the fact the chips are lovely

OM NOM NOM

I think the problem elsewhere other than UK is the chips are skinny, vinegar on them is mank, but good old thick chips YES!

Ever try "Miss Vickie's Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar Chips"? Oh my goodness ... they are the epitome of good chips! (Mind, Miss Vickies other flavours are great too. They use a special oil for cooking, and then put them in a unique bag that keeps them somehow, crispier then other brands. Oh, and they are cooked with skin on.

Salt + Vinegar and sometimes with tons of pepper. UK Freak here :p
