Posted May 28, 2007 Chips as in fries but thicker, and possibly made differently. Not chips as in the really really thin pieces of potato. Chips! (Clicky) Edit : Beaten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2007 It's the fried potato garbage raped with vinegar (how dare ye?!) they try to compare with the lovely Belgian (I love you guys) handmade, deliciously salted fried potato slices, finished with fresh made mayonaise that tastes like heaven made into sauce. You know, friet. Daddies always win compared to the British excuse for that, really :wink: I don't have vinegar on my chips :'( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had some really great ones in the restaurant yesterday; nice and big and so awesomely prepared. With lots of mayonnaise of course. =D Go daddies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2007 Seeing as I don't even really know what you guys mean with chips, I vote for daddy. Because he makes the most delicious food ever!And even though I don't really like him sometimes, he's still cool. Plus he goes to concerts and festivals and sometimes buys my ticket, so what's not to be liked about that? =D Heh, your dad sounds a lot like mine. Anyway, daddy (apart from I never, ever call my dad 'dad' or 'daddy') gets the vote because he's a decent guy and makes fantastic homemade chips, so I get the best of both worlds this way.

Posted May 28, 2007 My Dad definitely, if I didn't have him to act as a buffer between me and my mother I'd have gone crazy years ago! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2007 I like chips, especially when drenched in vinegar, but I'm a soppy old git so I'm going to say Daddy. It was a tough decision though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 28, 2007 I submitted this as a question for the Everybody Votes channel although it's probably a bit esoteric to make an appearance. For those who don't know it comes from an old McCain advert — I couldn't find it on YouTube, unfortunately. It's the fried potato garbage raped with vinegar (how dare ye?!) they try to compare with the lovely Belgian (I love you guys) handmade, deliciously salted fried potato slices, finished with fresh made mayonaise that tastes like heaven made into sauce. You know, friet. Daddies always win compared to the British excuse for that, really :wink: Not all chips are created equal. Pretty much every eatery in this country serves chips, but very few get them right. I happen to live near what is purportedly the country's premier fish and chip restaurant, and as you'd expect they're miles away from the soggy mush that a lot of places try to pass off as chips. Also, mayonnaise? You sicken me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I happen to live near what is purportedly the country's premier fish and chip restaurant, and as you'd expect they're miles away from the soggy mush that a lot of places try to pass off as chips. Also, mayonnaise? You sicken me! Some chips are better than others, and chips itself is okay (though it's not Belgian either) - but what's up with the vinegar and the fish? I've eaten it and it just doesn't make any sense! Why you must eat something as tasteless and unhandy as fish with it is beyond me already, but why does vinegar have to come near it? Why does vinegar have to come near anything? Every sensible person knows that the only reason of existence vinegar has is to prevent your eggs from breaking as they boil, with everything else they just destroy the taste. Why put something so sour over the salty goodness of chips? It doesn't make any sense at all, I tell you! No sense! Mayonnaise on the other hand is a wonderful addition to chips - it's the way they are meant to be served originally. Seriously, try it On a side note, crisps meant to taste like vinegar chips are the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 28, 2007 Actually, a lot of people do have mayonnaise on their chips in the UK, although salt and vinegar is more a classical condiment. I just dislike mayonnaise, although a bit of seasoned mayo in a sandwich can be alright. As for vinegar, well you don't have to have it. If it's overpowering everything else then you're either putting too much on — although some people like it that way — or using the wrong sort. A splash of balsamic vinegar is the way to go if you ask me. Use sea salt as opposed to the table stuff, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2007 I've made my final decision; chips. Chips don't let you down. My dad decided to cook everyone some home made chips which I was looking forward to but forgot to do some for me. Plus he cooked them in beef fat so its not like I could pinch any. I'm not impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2007 Mayo? Vinegar? Oh dear oh dear. Chips are quite clearly either meant to go with cheese or gravy, preferably in association with a sausage or a big pie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
