There seems to be a lot of interest in the seasoning of fish and chips and associated condiments and accoutrements.

The favoured condiments in Edinburgh are salt and sauce. The latter seems to be some brown sauce‘watered’ down with vinegar.
I tend to get that “[you’ are not from around here”] look when I ask for salt and vinegar.

For most of our customers its salt & vinegar, some it tomato/brown sauce, though occasionally we get a request for chip spice, or mayo.
Then its mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy in that order of popularity.
Inspired by "the other thread', lunch today comprised left over chips from last night covered with a good helping of Bea's vegetable soup, and given a good blast in the microwave.
I'm sorry but I just couldn't resist..
I’m sure as soup it was great but the combo looks questionable. And the carrots. There’s always carrots.
Aye, but they also deep-fry pizza here. Haute cuisine isn't a Jockanese speciality.
This is a chipper mate ;-)What's this chippy I see spoken of - up here a chip shop is a chipper
They have the decency to dip it in batter first.
I remember my wife’s horror at seeing a deep fried pie for the first time too.
Not always. They're savages.
I have it on good authority that:
Deep fried pizza = A pizza flung in a fryer.
Pizza crunch = A pizza dipped in batter then flung in a fryer.
Very environmentally minded, recycling your chips, to be commended. The vegetable soup looks like a good alternative to french onion. Royal Game or Cockaleekie soups would likely work well also.Inspired by "the other thread', lunch today comprised left over chips from last night covered with a good helping of Bea's vegetable soup, and given a good blast in the microwave.

The best fish supper (another Scottishism) is from Hass’s on Holburn Street in Aberdeen. End of.
Deep fried pizza is falling out of favour with the crunch taking over.
He’s wrong. It needs to be raining as well.
Can people please stop talking about pouring soup over chips. I’m sure that there is a clause in the Magna Carta specifically referring to this....
”Hencef'rth people throughout the landeth shalt cease to cov'r the honest chip with foul soup upon teen of testicular removal 'r burning as appropriate”
If your feeling particularly hungry a chip bucket is perfect, hollow out a loaf of fresh bread, line the internal edges with salted butter, fill it with a large portion of piping hot chip shop chips so the butter melts and top with what takes your fancy, curry sauce, gravy, beans - Yum yum..
Reminds me of my favourite recent joke: that COVID won’t stand a chance in Scotland because we’ll deep fry and eat it.
... and stab wounds.
I say that as a person who loves Glasgow!
Used to spend my school lunchtime dinner money on this when I where a lad.If your feeling particularly hungry a chip bucket is perfect, hollow out a loaf of fresh bread, line the internal edges with salted butter, fill it with a large portion of piping hot chip shop chips so the butter melts and top with what takes your fancy, curry sauce, gravy, beans - Yum yum..
Split a Vienna loaf in two and share with a mate. Eat bread in the middle. Pour chips and gravy in. Voila.
If something is worth doing, it's worth overdoing (I think this statement was first made by Justin thingummy from The Darkness).

Is'nt there an allowance in the law if the chips are reheated? Would only be fair.

This is a serious thread chaps. It’s (sparingly) vinegar, salt, vinegar, salt then 2/3rds of the way through the meal, vinegar, salt once more.
If I’m eating at home I’ll also have a generous dollop of Branson pickle on the side.
I quite like salt and vinegar with my fish and chips!
I don’t understand why there would be any chips left to reheat????
Scottish central belt has chip diversity, east coast like salt n sauce, west coast, salt n vinegar, my favourite topping for chips is mair chips. A fish supper when it has a mug o tea and bread and butter added becomes a "fish tea".
As I’ve said elsewhere it has to be vinegar first in generous amounts,and then a good shake of salt.
If you put the salt on first the vinegar will wash some of it off.
If you put the vinegar on first the salt has something to stick to.
Which end of Holburn Street?
Fair point, learningtofly had some though, I assume he had a great many to start with.

Most of it? Not it's sole porpoise then?
What is this 'vinegar' of which you speak? See link.

Sorry to derail this thread (sorry, not sorry), but I have often wondered (not that often) about a plate presenting chips and eggs simultaneously. Is it chips and egg or egg and chips? Both seem linguistically valid, so are the different locutions down to social situation, geographic location, age or some other reason?
It’s egg ‘n’ chips. Not egg and chips.
Top end. Between Great Western Road and the roundabout.
Definitely egg 'n chips, same as fish 'n chips. The only time chips is allowed to be said before the main event is when it's chips 'n cheese.

Chippy logic 101, my feelings exactly.
Anyone gone out and bought fish and chips today on the back of these two threads?
I’m seriously contemplating it!
Makes me think that someone from the ‘National Association of Fish and Chip People’ has infiltrated us and we’re all upping their sales figures
Or sent their watch for a service?Anyone gone out and bought fish and chips today on the back of these two threads?

F.T.F.A.
I thought that was a joke picture just for the thread?!
Of course if you want some refinement with your fish and chips then the Hon. Simon and Minty Marchmont are the people to watch . . .
