Are chips with a fry-up appropriate?  I think not, at least, not with a breakfast fry-up but I'm hearing a lot of people are doing this these days.  For me chips are a midday onwards accompaniment.

Not appropriate.


End Of.


Keep Tomato Ketchup in fridge or not? Its time we resurrected that debate.

chips with a breaky fry up = wrong.   deep fried potato slices are acceptable if its brunch :)

Ketchup once opened is for the fridge.


hope this helps.

I think chips are OK, clearly though they are not for the try connoisseur, as they are just an easier substitute for the superior forms of fried potato.

Tommy K = Cupboard

Brunch?

Listen to Mr La-de-da!!!

I am a non fridge Ketchup person, though I do for Salad Cream and Mayo.

Generally speaking, if there are chips with a fry-up then they are usually a substitute for an essential ingredient which is missing.

Hash browns? Black pudding? Tomato? Mushrooms? Fried bread?

Only if all these are present are chips acceptable.

Chips... nooooooooooooo never on a breakfast..

Ketchup - Fridge along with Mr Mayo and Mrs Cream

not for breakfast, but for lunch:

egg, bacon, (half) chips, black pudding and mushrooms.  Yum.

chips on breakfast .... no!


tommy sauce is kept in cupboard! ice cold tommy sauce=yuk

Absolutely not!!

Hash browns, soda bread or potato scone type of thing is a must but never chips.

Ketchup.........in the cupboard, it's non dairy unlike salad cream and mayo.

Another one in the mix:

Full fry up - Ketchup or Brown sauce?

Geo

OMG - shudder the thought.

Waterford hotel, on the sole day I made breakfast..

Potato Farls.....yum yum.

not for breakfast, chips go with fish silly ;flushy;

chips do not go with a brekkie fry-up..it's just wrong..like chunky peanutbutter!..or Ketchup in the fridge...it just ain't right!

 if your having a fry up for dinner then chips are allowed.

 but it has to be those homemade ones your mammy made in the deep fat fryer , none of your posh mccains oven ones.

 Square sausage , fried egg , ham , beans , homemade chips and brown sauce , mmmmmmmmmm thats my dinner sorted tonight  :)up

Chips with a fry-up - no (I'm not keen on hashbrowns, home fries. fired potoatoes either) - the only tattie product should be a tattie scone (or as the irish call them farls).

Toato sauce should be in the cupboard, although I do remember when we first moved back to Scotland, staying in my Gran's pre-fab & it was so cold at night we put the tomato sauce in the fridge after a bottle started to freeze & cracked the bottle.

What about squeezy ketchup bottles?

FFS whats wrong with you people?? chips go with everything  ;kev;

ketchup should not be kept in either the cupboard or the fridge but in the bin

FYP

The ONLY breakfast

2 Bacon
2 Sausages
1 Minced Roll (sausage meat mixed with scallions)
2 Tomatoes
4 Mushrooms
2 Eggs (fried)
1 Soda Farl
2 Potato Farls
1 Fried Bread

Cholesterol heaven --

Oh and Brown sauce from the cupboard

No Chips wit' breaky, and Tomato Sauce once opened keep refridgerated and eat within 8 weeks.

I like some kind of fried potato on my breakfast, be it chips or something else.

i've spoken at length with various people about this and to my surprise the opinions were mixed.

At the ept dublin a bloke sat on the next table at breakfast would only have a large hot chocolate and buttered toast, the strange bit for me was that he dipped the toast in his hot chocolate. I was almost hysterical with confusion and revulsion.

What is acceptable and not acceptable to dip in hot drinks?

oh yeah and tommyk is in the cupboard, anything else is just weird.

Last nights boiled spuds sliced n fried are different, I agree they go good wit' breaky

Tha shut thee oyl. Go 'ome and clean thi corners aht.

We had some friends that at lunch time they would dip their Ham sandwiches into thier drink of tea, spewy or what..



whoops modified..

ok....

I've heard of dipping them in your tea, but never your spewy or your hat.

Chips with breakfast fry up is wrong, but as Nun says last nights tats fried up is acceptable.

Does anybody else put vinegar on a fry up?

Tom sauce in the cupboard.

Chips for breakfast, a big mistake. You will never be accepted into polite society of you make such a error. It shows an absolute lack of breeding.

Tomato Ketchup is for the cupboard. A ketchup bottle should never see the inside of the fridge, it's just plain wrong.

I once worked as a courier up in London and used to have cheese on toast with egg  on top with chips for breakfast in the mornings. 

That worked out nicely.

I always have chips with my fry-ups (the home made round cut ones, unless I'm in a cafe) but that's because I don't like fried bread or hash browns.

Ketchup in the cupboard (squeezy bottle now since the little un has discovered a liking for it - less mess lol).

Hubby has vinegar on fry ups and brown sauce - not me.

Has to be butter on my bread and not any kind of spread (although Country Life spreadable is the best of the 'soft-butter' spreads).

Hubby and son both dip their toast into their tea - yuk, all that oil swimming at the top of the cuppa looks eeeuuuuggghhhhhh lol


Anyone else eat branston pickle sandwiches???   Love 'em.

toast in tea?  Sick, although I do want some toast now.  Funny how you can always eat one more slice of toast.

I like branston with cheese or something, wouldn't eat a sandwich by itself with it in though.

Oooooo its nice by itself.

Especially those little onions ummmmmmmmm

Tried to look at the link but ewwwwee...even old timers like me don want to see links like that..lol

Some heathen, unholy savages in Europe even put mayonnaise on their chips, wars have been started for less!

chips deffo a  pm thing, but hash browns are fantastic.

Just witnessed Mr nun slither out of the room..

Egg bacon sausage CHIPS black pudding beans 2 slice of bread and butter cup of tea and can of irn bru. Brown on my sausage!!  ;) Red sauce & vinegar on the chips.

Every weekend. Beautiful.

Dead by 40!!!!

Monday Tea Time:

Bubble and Squeak with HP sauce:

Oh for the good old days:

You will all end up with the galloping gut rots you know..READ the labels boys n girls.. or where does it end ..Ketchup should be stored in a fridge..


So saying this and going by all the years we have failed to store it in the fridge.. what else maybe stored in a regular cubboard instead of using all that JAR space up in my fridge then. Every opened jar gets stored in my fridge see. So from now on is it ok to disregard labels?.....even the bloody garden mint is placed securly on shelf 2.

OI!..that's the only way to eat chips..with nice decent Mayo. (not the crap that passes for Mayo in this country like Hellmans..that stuff has nothing to do with mayo..)

Dutch mayo on chips is way better, totally agree.  The Germans have decent mayo for chips too, I think they actually call it chip sauce too.

Bet you have mayo on your sauerkraut!

don't be daft..nobody puts it ON the Sauerkraut. Though if you panfry the mashed potatoes with sauerkraut the following day..it is rather nice to have a bit on the side of it.

I agree.

tell mrs red i'll be hers

I'm thinking she'd rather have Mayo ;)

 rotflmfao

I'm thinking she'd rather have sauerkraut.

Seeing as she is the Lovely Mrs Red i shall not be replying to that statement as Mr Red would kill me (and quite rightfully so..)

oh wait..are you trying to convince Mr Red to kill me by implying that what Mrs Red likes on the side is German?

Oh that's just wrong...brilliant..but wrong.

good thing you always hear the Magnum P.I. theme tune whenever  Mr Red is somewhere..now I know when to run.

Chips are ok

( Perfect fry up )

Quorn sausagges and bacon.  Tomato , baked beans and mushrooms.  Brown sauce and pepper.  A few slices of toast .  Pot of tea .    Yummmmmy


I remember about five years ago, Jamie Oliver showed viewers how to make a fry up .  He said this was a great recipe that he invented after a night out for his mates in the morning.  I was thinking to myself at the time  "WTF? ,  all he is doing is making a standard fry up with a different name "

   

He did the same with fish-finger sarnies.  As though he was the first person to think of them.  I was eating them when he was still dribbling down his face...oh hang on....

lol...fish-finger sarnies..food of the Gods..breakfast of champions!..and just about the biggest contribution Brittain has made to the cullinairy world in the last 15 years.

They're older than 15 years.

Oh Son of Satan, how could you suggest such a thing.

Try them mate,  you can get them with herbs or just plain.  Honestly once you try them , you will wonder why you didn't eat them sooner. 

Don't even try it.

If I want herbs with my bangers I will have thick meaty cumberlands tyvm.

can i thank WarBwastard for starting this thread well done, most interesting ever

Chips on a breakfast plate means that someone hasn't put enough baked beans, mushrooms, fried bread and black pudding on it.  Something has clearly gone wrong if they appear.

And the only sauce to put on the breakfast plate is HP, thus ensuring that the Ketchup remains in the fridge (only required for scrambled eggs on toast).

Ketchup in the fridge or cupboard is a balancing act of food safety versus quality.

While not a high risk dairy product or anything, once the seal is broken on tommyk, it is still a breeding ground for all sorts of bacteria.
There is no doubt though, the optimal serving temperature for ketchup is ambient and not chilled. Taking the product out to warm 2 hours before use is not always practical.

A good tip is to buy only small bottles of ketchup, so you go through them within 7 days or so. (The people at risk use a great big bumper value bottle that has been in the cupboard for months and months)
You needn't run out as there's nothing to stop you having other small bottles (with their seals still intact) in the cupboard as back-up.

If that is the situation then you clearly don't have big enough plates!

Portions should expand to fill the space.

EEEEWWWWW!!! - YOU SICK SICK MAN!!! :(

Im not sure if i can link blogs but WarBwastards blog is my fave read a mix of poker and, well take a look and see http://voyporustedes.blogspot.com/ (http://voyporustedes.blogspot.com/)

lmao..his opinion on the basketball thing is a cracker..bookmarked the site immediatly :)

1) Chips - NO

2) Tomato Sauce (not ketchup) - Cupboard

3) Brown Sauce (HP) on breakfast

DONE

PS - does anybody else refuse to buy the 'smart price' or equivalent on certain products but dont mind buying cheap alternatives of other food stuffs.

E.G - Baked beans have to be Heinz, Brown sauce has to be HP and bread has to be Oranage Warburtons.  However for most other products I'm happy buying the cheap stuff and make comments such as 'no difference other than fancy packaging'

tescos own brand beans are better then heinz:) the only thing i wont buy the 'own brand' version of is tinned chopped tomatoes. the 'own brand' varieties make a terrible substitute: ;pokergods;

you would be mistaken

having done my work experiance at school in a well know soup factorys experimental kitchen
and having a mother that worked in the staff shop and a father that worked in management of said factory

i can confirm that they make there soups for the likes of waitrose or tescos to the supermarkets own recipe and not that
of the labels with is of higher quailty

what's this tomato sauce that's not ketchup?

lol

This thread makes me laugh let me clear this up.

Chips are only ok with a fry up if you are eating in a cafe and you are a tradesman (plumber, electrician etc). Otherwise you are cultured enough to get fried mash, hash browns or another potato alternative.

Ketchup should be in the fridge - it's on the label people!

Mayo on chips - is acceptable if you discovered it in mainland Europe. If you just tried it out of interest you are weird.

So you are saying a Tradesperson is NOT cultured?

No, he's saying he's a snob.

And obviously they are not cultured..they work with their hands!

NOT cultured enough to choose an appropriate alternative.

Having said that most of my mates are tradesman and this applies to them. Apologies if this doesn't apply to all tradesman.

  cultured     

ADJECTIVE:

   1. Educated, polished, and refined; cultivated.

I MUST be a Tradesman then  ;)

can ketchup actually be eaten??????

lol, wow, you and I must come from very different worlds. In mine, a persons level of culture is not measured in terms of fried mash

 it's how many women on the estate he has knocked up ;)

lol

brb. just off to get cultured

You'd want to be careful with some of the cultues from the girls on my estate.

Bloody Hell, think it is just easier to wet my pants  :)  ;marks;

lol
