(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I douse my fish & chips or fishfingers with anything that happens to be available - all or any of ketchup, tartare sauce, lemon, vinegar and curry sauce if it's there. (maybe I ought to just empty all the sauces into a bowl and eat it with a spoon) |

Some time ago I was in a small Fish and Chip cafe in Otley ( yes I sometimes dine there in preference to the Chevin Country Park Hotel where I stay). A really upper-class looking couple came in, and ordered. The guy concluded by 'and don't you dare let a piece of lemon either on or near my plate ! It taints the fish!' As if he were expecting a lemon wedge in Otley !
Actually I have hardly ever used salt, vinegar or sauces throughout my whole life. To me they spoil the natural flavour of what you are eating. Occasionally I will use pepper, but things like brown sauce or ketchup ? Yuk ! |

I certainly won't use vinegar on chips, and rarely have sauces with meat (mint with lamb being the honourable exception). With you on brown sauce, f#m (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Don't like vinegar.
Don't like ketchup (dislike anything tomato-y, really. Including tomatoes). Have salad cream with my chips...or occasionally something more drastic like 'Reggae Reggae Sauce' or 'Holy Cow garlic chilli sauce' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Just wanted to share that with everyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

The UK people I work most closely with are off this week.
The US people I work most closely with are mostly all off this week. So nobody is coming to me with niggling problems to sort out. Nobody is there to test stuff that I have already done for them. So I just sent my manager a message, asking if he had anything I could do for anybody at all, any technical requests needing action whatsoever. His response was 'Let me see...it's a bit quiet'. That's his way of saying 'not a thing, I'm afraid'. In further exploration, we've found a checklist I can work through to update as it is substantially out of date. He said I could do that 'if you're sufficinetly motivated', which I think means 'if you're sufficiently bored'. He asked me if I was intending to come in to the office this week or just stay at home, both agreed we would just take each day as it comes and if the weather was OK then we'd go in and maybe see one another for my annual review, but if not, not. It's just odd. Normally this is a frantic time as I have people hassling for me with stuff that MUST be done before the end of the year (the MUST aspect being so that they can say they completed objective X in the calendar year, and hope that is reflected in their bonus (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)). This is the first time in many years I've actually wound down at the end of the year - but it seems everyone else has too, so those of us who aren't on hols are all "working from home" sneakily reading a book (or a forum, or watching telly, or whatever!) |

A starter was 'Crab with Good Heavens sauce' I asked what 'Good Heavens' sauce was. The waiter replied, 'Well when you taste it you will exclaim 'Good Heavens'! |
