If your chippy order is cod and chips with salt and vinegar and tomato ketchup, you're not alone as it's the North East's favourite supper, according to research carried out for National Fish and Chip day today, June 2.
A new study by Buzz Bingo asked 1,000 people in 15 UK cities for their fish and chip shop preferences for main, sides, sauces, extras, and even drinks, to decide what makes the perfect chippy tea in each region.
According to the study, the nation's ideal meal is battered cod (40%), salt and vinegar chips (50%), tomato ketchup (36%), mushy peas (33%), no scraps/bits (49%) and a Coca Cola (24%) to wash it down. And our region was right on average, with North East chippy fans shunning baked beans, gravy and vegan offerings in favour of traditional cod, chips and mushy peas.
