I have irrefutable evidence that tartar sauce is hiding relish of mass destruction within its mayonnaise base.
On the the crisps issue. There is a store in the 'WASPy' neighborhood that sells imported 'crisps'. The bizarre flavours alone should suggest that crisps are not chips.

And yet, you're too American to call a chip a chip [And, by extension, a crisp a "crisp".]
The people who invented the real chip (what you mistakenly call a "crisp") called it a chip, so there is no need to adopt in incorrect term just ot please people who drive on the wrong side of the road.
As leader maybe my first laws should be to rename chips and crisps so that they are correctly identified and as for driving all you should swap sides for six months and see how much easier it is.

I think you are all missing out on the wonders of guacamole! Its great for chips (or crisps ) great on a sandwich and wonderful mixed into an omelette. It even rolls of the tongue in a fantastic way...just say it...GWA-CAW-MOLEY. Yeah say it again!

As for the "chip/crisp" thing, even here in the US, Pringle's are labeled as "crisps", because they are made of extruded potato dough rather than cut from potatoes. The label in Spanish refers to them as "papitas crujienetes", which more or less means "potato crunchies".

I like tartar sauce when it is made with DILL relish. Sweet pickle tartar sauce is just.... gross. And why is it sometimes yellowish in color? Also, there should be NO ONION flavor to the dill tartar sauce. If I wanted onion (which I never do) I'd get onion (which I never will).
Dill, non onion-y tartar sauce is delicious with fries and deep fried/battered fish. However, I've seen people use tartar sauce on grilled salmon. This is appalling to me! Yes, a nice beurre rouge or perhaps a seasonal chutney should be served with salmon... or, as someone stated... au naturale.
Hummus is a true delight, best with freshly toasted pita triangles and an assortment of interesting vegetables (since I don't like onion, there will be more for you). Lots of garlic is good in hummus, but bring a mint, please!
I'm sure it will come as no surprise that I don't care for onion in my guacamole. I prefer a simple recipe with large chunks of onion, easy to set aside. Don't forget to season with cumin!
I love Lay's potato chips or Ruffles, but they are only brought into the Sketch house for special occasions, parties. I like a variety of dips for them, but.... wait for it... no onion!
Now you all know where I stand on this controversy. Let the chips fall where they may!

As for Pringles. I refuse to eat Pringles because they are made by Proctor and Gamble. P&G entered the chip, cereal and coffee markets (blech Folgers) when they discovered that the machinery they used to grind up Tide into nice granulated detergent powder could be used to grind coffee cereal and potato products. Ever wonder why Pringles are made of mashed potatoes and not potatoes? It's because P&G has no organizational competencies with whole food products.

Love Pringles. Hate Folgers. Kinda neutral on Tide.
Dare I bring salsa into the discussion?
Tartar sauce, hummas and cocktail sauce are all pretty much mutually exclusive condiments to me.
Does tartar sauce actually contain tartar? Why is something made of chick peas and oil so darned expensive.

how about: anyone who uses tarter sauce on anything other than fish (and even then, excluding salmon) are evil, nasty people who kick kittens and practice human sacrifice!

While I'm remaining neutral on this subject, I'd just like to point out that calling your opponents "doodoo heads" always seems to notch up the level of controversy quite a bit!

I have tried that. But the other drivers get these panicked looks about them.
