Just heard someone say chips and fish. I've never felt so irritated, I'll fetch them some vinegar and salt. Or perhaps they want pepper and salt.

I remember when chippy Meat and Potato pies became Potato and Meat pies

Apparently the largest ingredient by volume had to come first

@PGBeattie @kibcol1049 I remember those days too!

Still wonder why it's "fish & chip" but "burger and fries"

In the UK I guess it's because chips are chunky cut potatoes, where as fries are mashed potato extruded into thin tasteless strips.
Also you can't buy a burger at a Chip Shop and you can't buy fried fish at a Burger joint.
Yes, outside the uk, chips are potato crisps. As I found when I once ordered Steak and Chips room service in a hotel (Spain). Was brought two silver dishes, one with a steak, one with a portion of crisps πŸ™„

I propose that chips should be called Belgian Julienne-cut potatoes
