Nothing beats the taste of chips doused in tangy vinegar.
You might be pretty disappointed, then, to find out the stuff you drown your food in at the chippie isn't actually vinegar.
YouTuber Scott Thomas has revealed most fish and chip shops swap vinegar for a cheaper alternative that will stay in date much longer, WalesOnline reports.
According to the video maker, chippies use something known as a non-brewed condiment.
This is a malt vinegar substitute made with water, acetic acid, and flavourings.
The majority of fish and chip shops will use this as a substitute for actual vinegar because it is cheaper to buy.
It also takes less time to make than the real deal and you can buy it in concentrated form.
Non-brewed condiment also has other benefits, like not containing any alcohol - making it a good choice for tee total customers.
So it's not all bad news.
How about you wipe those tears and we'll pop down the chippie for a big bag of chips dripping in vinegar?
