Chips and Gravy?

Kegsey, 29 March, 2008 at 18:24 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 49

H thinks chips and gravy is just a bit wrong. Gravy with roast potatoes, mash, etc are fine. I like chips and gravy but is it just me?

    No, chips and gravy is great, especially with some grated cheese as well.

    ? at you all - glad its not just me. I remember having chips and gravy at school <sigh>

    We're having PS broccoli and a beef pinwheel (with puff pastry type thing) for tea and H wants to know what sort of potato. So chips or mash or roast? With gravy ?

    (oh, and we're having a bottle of cava as we're celebrating finishing decorating ?)

    Chippy chips with gravy is lovely. Last night after a night on the beer we went to the chippy, I had battered sausage, chips & curry sauce with lots of salt and vinegar. It was bloody lovely, my friend had chips with cheese and mayo which was also yum.

    Chips and gravy are lush - got to be a nice thick gravy otherwise it just doesn't work.

    Chips and gravy is fantastic. You can't get gravy at the chippies down here, which I think is basically an afront to my human rights. Last time I asked, you'd think I'd asked for heroin.

    Chips peas and gravy - there is no finer food. The peas must be mushy, obviously, and all this should be accompanied by white plastic bread and some type of yellow lubricant, preferably butter.

    I'm not a chips & gravy fan. Chips & curry sauce, or mayo, or ketchup or even mushy peas are good, but gravy or cheese are a bit wrong IMO (though now I live in the Midlands it seems to be the done thing round here!)

    Chips and gravey as part of a meal is fine. However chips and gravy on it's own is a bit weird, although not something you come across in chip shops in the South.

    I'll only have chips and gravy in Ibiza? It's chips and curry sauce all the way for me.

    Chips should be soaked in salt and vinegar, with a generous dollop of ketchup for dipping.

    Gravy is nice, but as a purist, I can't sanction it on chips.

    Don't get me started on mushy peas. Vile things.
