That was me last night. I literally had the worst craving for some chips. Not the fish, just the chips. With salt and vinegar. Now I'm not talking about those fries you get from Burger King or McDonald's. Those skinny pieces of potato fried in oil, delivered in a cup ranging in sizes small to large. No I am referring to chips. Big and fat. One size, a whole brown bag! (I mean if you're going to have a heart attach, you might as well do it right and go all the way, right?) With the option of not only getting it with salt and vinegar but the possibility of getting it with EXTRA salt and vinegar! Or if you're feeling adventures, you can get it with curry sauce or cheese. Or if your from Northern Ireland, you just order mayonnaise with your chips and your as happy as a lark.
For living in City Center now, it's amazing how hard it is just to find the littlest things like a Chipper (a fish and chips shop). If you want coffee, there's a coffee shop on every corner. If you want beer there's a pub for every coffee shop. If you want ice cream, there's at least 10 shops. The same can be said for pizza, Chinese and Mexican. If you want to have a nice sit down dinner, you've got options. But if you just want a simple fish and chips, for take away.... you might just be out of luck!
Thank goodness for sketchy-Turkish-hole-in-the-wall-kebab restaurants that not only sell kebabs, but sell chips!
Strangely though, they didn't put any salt or vinegar on my chip. Or maybe not strange, as they weren't Irish. Maybe the strange thing was that they had chips at all....
But seriously though, what does one do when they just need salt and vinegar? Well obviously, hide the evidence of the chips in your bag and walk into Burger King and ask for a couple of packets of salt and vinegar.
Yes, that is what I did.
Worth.It.
