You’re right, vinegar does not belong on a full Irish.
Chips are fairly bland without vinegar. People take the piss out of us (and the British) for vinegaring chips but given that vinegar is a main ingredient in both mayo and ketchup, it’s not really all that strange. The acidic tang is what makes them so tasty because it cuts through the grease a little bit.
Vinegar on a fry?
Me bollix
who puts vinegar in fries.
What are these fries you speak of?
I assume they mean chips, but if they mean chips, do other countries not put vinegar on chips? Chipper chips with the proper amount of salt and vinegar are about as good as chips can get.
We put vinegar on fries in Canada. I prefer malt vinegar.
Currently traveling through Ireland and was confused why there was Malt Vinegar on the table.
Googled it and tried it out yesterday on my fish & chips. Actually don’t know if I ever can eat fries without vinegar again at home.
What you do is, take a bottle of vinegar, rub it in your hands, and stick your fingers in your eyes for making this.
Salt & Vinegar for life
Are the Mods going to do nothing about this offensive shite?!?
Tsk!
If you don’t get a vinegar steam facial when you open the bag, they didn’t put on enough. Everyone knows this.
I hate vinegar
Definitely not, sure it would make the potato bred soggy
_Tsk, well, at least we have STANDARDS about our chips. We have actual potato SUBSTANCE, instead of some goddamn greased up 0.03 millimetre crispy-thin chip-like PAPER._

I hate vinegar.
I know for a fact that yanks have vinegar crisps (chips, for the yanks.) So vinegar chips (fries) isn’t that much of a stretch.
“Fries”, get out of here, apostate.
What are fries?
Watched a programme on Channel 4 last week. Chippers don’t even use real vinegar. It’s called non brewed condiment
I was in Belgium and met a couple, one of whom was in Ireland for a while and she gave out about vinegar on chips. I’ve come around to mayo on thinner chips since that trip but for Italian chips, they need salt and vinegar.
The Belgians are masters at making chips – always cooked perfectly – and I’ve realised our Italian chips are undercooked a lot of the time.
If you don’t start coughing after having a deep smell of your chipper chips, you haven’t used enough vinegar.
As someone who grew up in New England and went to uni in Ireland, I don’t get it. Vinegar on fries/chips has been the only allowed condiment (aside from garlic mayo) my entire life.
also, fuck mushy peas.
Any cunt who puts vinegar on his full Irish deserves the gallows.
Vinegar on a fry?? That’s just mad talk
What do “perfectly good” fries smell like?
What do vinegar drenched chips smell like?
You’re welcome
I’m honestly offended by this
Love me chips 🍟
The vinegar must be leaking through all the bags for the true Irishers.
FRIES?! FRIES?!
Enough vinegar so that the paper bag melts, Thems the rules
If the face isnt burned off you by vinegar fumes opening the bag then its not a propper bag of chips
People… DONT put vinegar on chips? Wtf do they have vinegar for then, baking powder volcanoes?
Vinegar belongs on fries and all fried foods!
I knew someone who used to open a bag of salt & vinegar crisps and would drench them in salt & vinegar.
I’m Irish and I hate vinegar. Disaster whenever we had a family takeaway when I was younger when my brother was the one to collect it. He knew I didn’t like it but would always”forget” and get the chipper to douse everything in the stuff.
Put vinegar on your curry sauce.
You must trust me on this.
I can’t be the only one who is salivating reading this thread
Perfectly good? How the hell are they “perfectly good” without vinegar?

Vinegar on fries? No.
Vinegar on chips? Yes.
I think I see the issue: [not enough vinegar!](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Swords10.jpg)
