Chips out the fryer inside a morning roll, eaten walking. What goes on top is the local marker, and Glasgow's is salt and vinegar. Chippy sauce belongs to Edinburgh, and the joke is that Walter Black makes Edinburgh's sauce in Glasgow: the Gold Star brand, thinned-down brown sauce.

- [1]Edinburgh Evening News, Liam Rudden, 21 February 2019, quoting Tony Crolla of Bertie's
“The chippy sauce that all the city's chippies buy, and have done since I was born, is made by Walter Black in Glasgow.”
“It's his Gold Star brand that we all use, so I really don't know why it has become such an Edinburgh thing and not more of a national thing.”

“If it was made in Glasgow, why does Glasgow ask [for] salt n vinegar...n don't have chippy sauce?”
