French fries with vinegar. Ok, not unusual if you’re British, but delicious even if you aren’t.

Why the fuck did we colonise 90% of the world if you're not putting vinegar on chips? Did we teach you nothing?

Conquer half the world for spices.

Use absolutely none of them in authentic British cuisine.

Just the way His Majesty intended.

We put ketchup on our "French Fries", governor.

Fun fact: Ketchup is any table sauce that is made from a vinegar base. We just think of the default as "tomato ketchup" but there can be other kinds! Mushroom ketchup used to be the default.

Vinegar is missing quite a bit from Ketchup, though.

I discovered the vinegar as a condiment with vinegar salt potato chips. Then I found out the fries. Sooooo good.

I am the only one in my family who likes vinegar on fries.

I do prefer apple cider vinegar over regular vinegar, but I'm more than happy to slather any available vinegar I can on.

Well, malt vinegar.
