It's interesting to see cultural differences in the interpretation of chips. Curry sauce is way out of that associative network for me, but "mayonnaise" and "wood" came to mind.

Mmmm... chips.... now I want some.

I just say "clever" without being too specific. It's accurate but sort of avoids the issue by widening the umbrella enough to allow the haters to feel included.

I prefer malt vinegar for fish and chips.

That with cheap white wine.

Yum.

Talk about guilty pleasure.

Chips and curry sauce are an old after the pub and walking home staple in the UK.

Surprisingly good, too.

Not quite as refined as a good potato shaak.but the combination of good chips cut thick from a real potato, soaked in water and then double fried in oil so hot that almost no oil is absorbed and then slathered in curry sauce can strike a percussive blow to the precise locality desired, at times. Starch, crunch, savoury spice and just the right amount of grease - can't go wrong :-)


As for the truly appalling state of fish and chips in the States - let's just say that there is a reason that I own a pretty decent deep fryer at home. Nova Scotia now - there is a place in North America where you can still find good Fish and Chips - darned fine fish up there too - fresh out of the sea.

Speaking of fish - need to run out and catch trout breakfast - yum!

Very... clever! Although sometimes clever refers not only to intelligence or a quick wit (generally positive)... but rather to a cunning sense of plotting... possibly with a bit of duplicity... not quite trustworthy or transparent... being sly... for example a clever ruse, a clever ploy.

Regarding chips... poutine, anyone?

Yum! Loved the gooey cheese balls!

Chips and cheese are such a great salty fatty combination. Especially late at night from a dodgy kebab van...

Curry pommes are a late night German thing too! Yum...

I don't think so. My IQ is 'only' 137, and I found regular schooling boring and repetitive. Plus, most definitions of mental retardation put the cut-off at 75, so for symmetry's sake I'd like a gifted cut-off of 125.
