Chips and Mayo is a Dutch/Belgian thing (as is chips with Mayo, Satay/peanut sauce and onions  ).
Personally, I don't mind salt & vinegar (or even brown sauce), but I don't like British chips as they are too soggy from 1. not cooking them properly, 2. keeping them on a hotplate. Personally, I think the chips from McDonalds/Burger King etc. are much better than chips from the average chip shop. |
but they are not chips...they are french fries and completely different.
