Salt and vinegar?
Informal Polite
What it really means
The question every chip shop asks before wrapping your chips. Brits put malt vinegar on chips — it tastes better than it sounds. Just say "yes please" or "just salt, please".
Chinese explanation
每家炸鱼薯条店打包前都会问的问题：要不要撒盐和麦芽醋。英国人给薯条浇醋——比听起来好吃。回答"yes please"或"just salt, please"即可。
