CHIPS vs FRIES

look fries lovers I hope every day's a sunny day in your lives and wherever you go you get served delicious fries that rule and you enjoy them. but this is justice right here. chips just beat the stuffing out of fries every day. chips are the damn truth and that's the truth.

seconding this (but w/ qualifiers!) - they have to be just the right texture of crispy. Soggy yam fries are not acceptable!

When I move back to the UK it will be in large part due to this thread and the top pic of CHIPS

Had fish + chips + curry sauce for my tea last night. It was epic.

i can't love this curry sauce on your fish and chips business.

I don't even

That makes me v sad

The curry sauce I mean

i think i can speak for the entire southern hemisphere when i say we've never heard the likes.

I find it kind of terrifying tbqh

I understand the practise hasn't quite reached the antipodes yet, but believe me the sauce brings a whole new set of taste sensations. Why does gravy + chips not produce the same negative nancy response?

Chips are great, but the wonderful variety of french fries that exists in America just effortlessly destroys chips in comparison. There are dozens of varieties of fries, which encompasses chips, so chips alone simply cannot compete. I declare these poll results null and void.

xxpost bc gravy is the breath of god that's why

hazel u mad

null and void.

it was probably kfc that broke the chips/ gravy barrier for these parts a long time ago, but i dont even really know what exactly is meant by curry sauce-- it made me think of curried eggs which was a lenten abomination dinner in my childhood (halved boiled eggs cooked in white sauce with curry powder added to it). but i believe i shouldn't be rude to anyone on the chips team so i apologise.

xp to NotEnough

I assume "curry sauce" is something akin to the sauce in a curry such as a butter chicken or a masala type curry - a tomatoey, curry thing.

Or ok ew, maybe estela was closer to the mark

Curry sauce on chips is something I associate with South London, but as far as food for drunks goes, they are lovely.

how are you supposed to eat those in the car on the way home at 2:30am? you would crash, and not just because you are drunk.

i think you're supposed to eat them in a doorway.

Chip shop curry sauce is (I assume) the curry sauce that is in take-away chinese curries. Not tomatoey at all, but exactly what IS in there I'm not sure. It's meant to be smooth too; I've had curry sauce with bits in, and the texture is not nice at all. The curry sauce gives the chips a bottom-end that wouldn't be there otherwise.

That photo doesn't make it look great tho, not helped by the poor lighting, the sorry-looking chips and the take-away utensils stuck in the top like a flag on the moon.

props to britisher chip lovers...you dudes are hardcore

chips have consistently been the plain but good-hearted girls of this contest.

slutty fries pshaw

fries are more short on brains but a terrific dancer.

Fries can walk in heels but has never read The Hobbit

i think you're supposed to eat them in a doorway.

chip shop curry sauce is great but tends to have distinct bits of peas and onions and whatever else round here. wouldn't do it on fish tho. ditto gravy - altho mrs v is partial to fish chips and gravy cos she weird. curry sauce + vinegar + chips + breadcake for dipping is mint tho.

If we're talking about curry sauce, then can I just say JELLIED EELS!

(are gross)

What

The fuck

It's eels, stewed in a sauce and left to cool so that the sauce solidifies into a jelly.

ohhhhhh no

Never tried jellied eels. I expect them to be all salt and no flavour - true?

MOVING RIGHT ALONG much like the contents of my stomach right now.

Curry sauce for chips is A LOT like the sauce for Japanese katsu curry. I don't think I've ever had any that contained readily identifiable vegetable matter apart from perhaps a bit of onion.

oooh it's like katsu sauce? Okay that sounds like it would be good then
I don't understand it on fish and chips though

think i've been seriously remiss in not riding the curry + chips bandwagon. also, i haven't even eaten a single chip since i started this poll, wtf.

do people in the uk have the "three in one" in bad chinese takeaways? i never see it here but it's basically fried rice, chips, and curry sauce. it is one of the most amazing drunk foods ever, just so fucking stodgy.
