I guess I'm a total heathen then. Mind you, I am Canadian. I much prefer my chips smothered in gravy...

The fact that the chips go slightly soggy is just part of the experience but polystyrene is plain wrong for putting chips into, there's something indescribably right about trying to peel the last couple of chips from the paper that they've welded themselves into yet feeling mildly cheated when you can't separate them so get 3/4 of a chip. Proper British chips should be a touch soggy but with a hint of underlying solidity, slathered in salt and vinegar and made in a shop which thinks that cholesterol is probably just some funny condiment that they put on in them foreign parts.

Indeed. Vinegar on chips?! WTF?!
Crazy English people! Can't say I'm a huge fan of soggy chips - like a bit of crunch to them, but then again that's why I like "frites" more so than fat chips, though they can be crunchy if done well. Crunch on the outside, and fluffy on the inside.

You are all heathens if you ask me. The only way is salt 'n' sauce, chippy sauce which is pretty much a mixture of vinegar and brown sauce. Om nom nom.
