I always put vinegar on both my fish and chips, has to be malt vinegar, non of this fancy stuff. I grew up in the suburbs of London before moving to the US, and trips back home, one of my first places to visit is the chippie. Skate and Chips or Haddock & Chips, second port of call is the pie shop. Pork pies with hot water crust - oh yumeee. Oh and for really traditional English chips, the were cooked in beef dripping. Non of these fancy oils back then. By the way in France and Belgium it is pretty common to serve Pomme frits with Mayonnaise, the calories are pretty bad, but it is a good combination.

There are still a few people that (heaven forbid) put sugar in their cornbread. As a matter of fact British practice is to use the vinegar on the _fish_ not the chips. I use lemon juice, which I prefer and ketchup on fries.
