flynt and i, kapura mataaro have offically decreed that vinager on hot chips is urk and we were then told we were not right about it...EVIL thats what it is...
and i think it is time that we BANI-SHED the evil poison affecting our damn hot chips... 
so if your interested i am proposing that all H.O.P. meeting be vinager free and that we set up a anti-vinager council to halt its spread...whaddya think?

i'm so glad that this has reared a few heads and made people think a little bit, i am an aussie (yes, that makes me closer to home of poi mecca
ah ha...) and like flynt said:- ketchup? only americans...
- mayonaise? that is kinda wierd on chips...
(shudders)- vinager? STILL EVIL!!!
chicken salt, just normal salt or tomato sauce, GO THE SAUCE!!! even season all...gawd...
lets all be friends in the fact that we love hot chips...even though the americans don't...and realise that we cant agree...

Mayonnaise is a vile substance. I won't touch it. I've been known to spit things out for having mayo on them. I don't even like things with mayo-based ingredients, like cole slaw (I make an Asian cole slaw that's mayo-free).
Blech!
I love ketchup, mustard, pickles, banana peppers, Bar-B-Que sauce (my favorite...I can almost eat it by the spoonful), horseradish (including wasabe), and steak sauce (and I'm a vegetarian!).
But hold the mayo!
But I love guacamole...

See, to me Wasabe mayo is like Rum and Coke. Why ruin a perfectly good coke by pouring rum in it?

Hehe this is a funny thread, people's convictions for and against different condoments!
I'll pretty much eat anything... depends on the day!
Someone I used to know used to make her chips swim in vinegar, she was 15 when she had to go to the Doctors and they told her to stop eating so much vinegar, apparently it was doing something to her insides ICK!

Mmmmmmm... fries/chips/whatever you wanna call them. Ketchup is good, vinegar, mayo, or anything else is yucky. Purple ketchup is sooo gross!

Ok, if you Limeys call potato strips deep fried in oil "chips," what do you call the crunchy things made of potatoes that come in a bag? To us, those are "chips" and the former are "fries."
Personally, I think nomenclature is a much more critical issue than toppings. After all, if you like vinegar on your fries, then fine...doesn't bother me. But if we're going to start calling things "chips" that are clearly not chips, then that starts to screw with international communication, trade, and stuff. It could even start a war if an important leader ordered one and got the other!
This needs to be straightened out immediately!

But aren't potato chips also strips of potato fried in oil?

Crisps - Thats what they are called!
Me I like vinegar and mayo and ketchup and mustard and brown sauce (In Scotland you get salt and sauce on your chips not salt and vinegar in a lot of places - I'm sure it is to confuse tourists!)
Also if you live in a hard water area and your kettle furs up you can boil vinegar in it to get rid of all the hard water deposits! (I wouldn't suggest putting that on your chips after tho!

Crisps! Crisp is an adjective, not a noun!
Silly Brits. No wonder you lost that war against us in the late 1700's!

we use it as a noun too, for fun
like dip, dip is verb (i think, this kinda thing is not my strong point), but we use it as a noun.
we sometimes dip crispy crisps into dip too

But then you Americans think you 'won' the Vietnam War.
You invaded them, and subsequently got your asses kicked by a load of rice farmers.
P.S Vinegar rules!

I can't wait to see where this is going.The whole crisp - chip thing is one of the things I had to get used to when I got back to Ireland. That and calling tackies, runners and loads of others I can't think of right now
Anyway I'm off to get a glass of vinegar....
I live in a world of infinite possibilities.

Be careful how you generalize us, Punkassemob***h. Most Americans do NOT think we won the vietnam war, especially those who are children of vietnam vets.

OK back to thread boys and girls!
I dont know how many of you guys will have seen this or heard of it but in the uk Heinz were selling GREEN ketchup for a time which i think is wrong..... very very wrong in fact almost as wrong as war itself!
Say no to green ketchup!
The rest of the hot chips flavourings family are fine and beautiful! except for worcestershire sauce (dont get me started on that stuff). in fact i dont actually know anyone who puts that evilness on their hot chips so i must have a point somewhere!

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Ahh, condiments are my passion. You really *shouldn't* put mayo of fries, tho. And *shouldn't* deep-fry bacon patties, either, but "have it your way".... Living in NZ turned me on to Sweet Chili Sauce. It's the best on nearly everything! And hot sauce! Dem arnt wishy washy sauces, now! mmmm.

Ok i apologise, it was but a jest. But 53% of americans think a Haggis is a real animal...don't they?
