I like fries with vinegar- something I think the Brits got right- but not all vinegars work. I tend to stick to classic malt vinegar, tarragon vinegar, or red wine vinegar.

Yeah you need the right type of vinegar.

There's a balsamic vinegar and caramalised onion chips here and they're delicious.

Brits were onto something with their pies, cakes and biscuits.

Limes hard to find good ones. I think we have a lime and black pepper flavour.

Salt and Vinegar I like but I don't love.

When I was a kid you could get fries with vinegar in them. It's an English thing I guess.

Haven't seen that as an option for a long time though.

Its not like you wake up and think "I'm going to go and find a nice English restaurant" and go there.

Miss Vickie's does a good Lime and Black Pepper chip. Kettle cooked, so they're thicker and crispier than most.

Hmm, would be nice to try. Some chips that I am missing: Back in 1996 when I worked in Ireland, they had a series of chips, that had the theme of Phileas Foff travelling around the world, and writing in his diary what happedn in some places. There were to sorts that were really really good. One called 4 cheeses, and another type were called Devilishly hot.

Speaking of spicy stuff, I miss the Blair's Cajun chips and their Habanero chips as well. I want both of those in 300 gram bags, not the tiny little things that they have (the cajun were discounted years ago sigh )...

Yeah we used to have a French onion flavour and they were really nice.b

We've got a UK specialist candy store and they have some chips that were discontinued in the 80s and 90s but you're paying through the nose for them.

In descending order of preference for dipping fries in - mashed potatoes and gravy, pimento cheese, buffalo sauce and ranch, just buffalo sauce, just ranch, mustard.

I usually just season my fries, but occasionally, I dip or dredge. In no order, here are my most common ones:

• chili
• vinegar
• Honey with black pepper
• Lemon juice & black pepper
• vanilla ice cream shake
• avgolemono
• personal mix of 50/50 A1 steak sauce & yellow mustard, seasoned with Tabasco and black pepper
