Whilst this is important for a Sunday Roast it does seem to play high importance to our Northern friends
I would like to know has gravy always been served in the chippy up north - or is it a recent thing.
First time I realised how popular this was when I came back from a rave in Ibiza, my sense of smell was very acute due to the amount of pharmaceuticals I'd taken. Anyways I was walking back to the apartment and a group of young lads where tucking into chips and gravy - I almost threw up due to what I was on!
Just like to know your take on it, have tried it and it was not bad - chips and curry sauce rocks

Despite being southern I do rather like chips and gravy on occasion... However it's not culinary genius, is it?! ;D

Chips and gravy is completely wrong !!! Chips and mayonnaise on the other hand is quite nice ...... as is the curry sauce, but not all together lol !! ;D

I do kinda like chips with gravy. It needs to be said in a northern accent, then it sounds more "normal"...!

Chips and gravy is quite nice, when the gravy's decent, but I must admit I prefer chips with melted cheese and strips of bacon ;D

Too right I'm not Northern, I am merely stuck in the middle of this great divide but my love of Spurs and having parents born in the south steers me to the warmer hemisphere ;D

Chips & Gravy is good
Chips & Curry Sauce is better
Chips & Chinese style curry sacue is the best
............ had cheese, chips and gravy when I went to Quebec, ....... it's not as bad a combination as it sounds!!

Do they serve battered chips anywhere else in the country or is that a Midland thing ? Not all chip shops do them but some do, riddled with grease they are....ugh !!
