I know someone who puts marmalade on his kippers - REALLY weird.

Put the vinegar on first, as Madhatter says, then it doesn't wash the salt off and the salt sticks and holds the vinegar.

It's definitely off down the chippy tonight, then. Our local one in London even does mushy peas - most London chippies look at you as if you were bonkers if you ask for mushy peas. Perhaps civilisation is spreading south.
