Same can be said for canned beans Popeye. Yoose can boil a pot of
beans instead of eating canned crap.

Ha! Sounds like a British Pub. Potatoes and vinegar now, who's going to
bring in the fried fish?

It *is* a tasty mix. I've never made either but have bought
both separately. I usually buy "Mrs.Kinser's" brand. They taste
good and come in 24oz containers with lids which are good
for storing frozen food later.

And I usually buy both at the same time. Near end of containers,
I've mixed them together and it's a good combo.

Two starches though?

Hence the name: 'Chippers' instead of pub? I've read here how you can order a chip sandwich... chip buddies or chip butties? With beef gravy, instead of the vinegar though, right?

Hmmm ... Chippers instead of pub?? No, not heard that one. Chip butties
yes, but not buddies. I always, have vinegar but never had them with gravy,
but who knows what others prefer

So much for hearsay from me, here in the wild frontier. Though Ophelia, it is increasingly built up here in the states now, in general.

I won't argue with you on that point. I still shudder when I think
about whitefish coated in cornflake crumbs and pan fried.

Why? Is it because it's not from a kosher jewish deli?

Potato/mac salad is my favorite salad. Unfortunately, most places around here are too lazy to make it. I have some frozen tilapia that breaded with a crispy coating. The outside is crispy and the inside is mushy/pasty. I certainly have a problem with that!

It's very popular in Hawaii to do that. It falls in the 'home comfort
food' set.

It's very simple stuff.

I made this potato salad today. Overall it is good. IMO though there
is not enough vinegar to penatrate the potatoes. After the salad was
prepared I added a tablespoon of pickle juice. Otherwise there is
plenty of crunchies mixed with the potatoes, which is a good thing.
Thanks for the recipe. I will make it again in next year's rotation.
