HELL NO. Chips with ketchup. Nothing else will do. :)

I used to be the same way until 1989. I remember it well because it was the first year that me and the future partner went away for a break to Amsterdam. We walked and talked through the streets during the day, soaking in the whole laid back atmosphere. And when we had fish and chips from a corner seller, it was swarmas [there's a food education in itself] and chips with mayonaise on them. Never touched ketchup since unless I've run out of mayonaise. Then I probably go for vinegar anyway. Mayonaise beats ketchup on chips without even trying.

Besides, being half-Italian, I can have my cooked tomatoes authentically, as a sauce, any time I fancy. That's proper tomato sauce. Not something out of a bottle or from Dolmio.

Spot on TSS, mayo first - tomato ketchup in reserve, if out of supplies.

There is a place for vinegary old ketchup. But yes, mayo will make an appearance on chips for me too, thanks to my forays into Holland via a Dutch friend.

Swap Amsterdam for Cyprus, 1989 for 2014 and swarmas for lamb kleftikos and you've got my reasoning.
