Chippy Myths – Busted 🍟
❌ Myth: Chippy vinegar is real vinegar
✅ Truth: What you get in most chippies isn’t technically vinegar — it’s a Non-Brewed Condiment.
So why do we use it?
Because it was created specifically for fish & chips. It gives that sharp, salty kick people love, without overpowering the food, and it works better on hot chips than traditional brewed vinegar.
It’s lighter in colour, more consistent, and doesn’t brown the chips — which is why it’s been a chippy staple for decades.
Call it vinegar, call it chippy vinegar — either way, it wouldn’t be fish & chips without it.
Salt & “vinegar”… always 💙🍟
