Yes, Hull does still have rag and bone men. And yes they are likely to wake you up on your day off!

While that might not be entirely true, the polling and data analytics giants YouGov have waded in on the debate in a bid to settle the argument once and for all. However, of all the counties ranked, Hull and the East Riding did still have the highest percentage of people who would plump for chip spice - 36 per cent. Work is also underway renovating the upstairs into a function room that can be booked out for events, while the rooftop will be turned into a 60-person capacity terrace. Not due to open until April next year, the rooftop terrace should prove to be one of the hottest spots in Hull during the summer, offering impressive views of the Old Town.

My parent’s creation became such a huge hit in Hull, our company really wouldn’t be where it is today without it. Over the years, Chip Spice has become iconic in this city, just like cream telephone boxes or patties. It’s not just a seasoning anymore. In addition to the sponsorship of the Robins, Chip Spice has announced its support for Community teams in the area too, getting involved with East Hull Rangers (a grassroots football team who play in the Sunday Football League) and Humber Warhawks (a British American-football team with players from across Humberside). It has also sponsored Hull Marathon for several years, including its return in 2022 after a hiatus caused by the pandemic. To avoid confusion, the options did not take into account salt and vinegar which would have otherwise dominated proceedings.

We put a shout-out in the Hull Traffic and Travel Facebook group to find out what people who live in the city think are the most important things to know.

New stats show Hull's unbreakable bond with the paprika, tomato and salt-flavoured tubs of joy is not as solid as once thought. Edward Wilson, co-founder of Wilson’s Seasonings, said: “Naturally we are delighted that more people will be able to buy it on the shelves at Asda stores across Yorkshire and beyond – who knows, next stop the rest of the UK.” Rod and Brenda Wilson started their business in 1979, selling blends of herbs and spices to local butchers and food service industries in Hull. Inspired by the flavours they’d experienced on a trip to the USA. Chip Spice was created in 1979 by Ron and Brenda Wilson, and was registered as a limited company in 1993. It is now run by their son, Edward Wilson, who runs American Chip Spice and Wilson Seasonings. He explained why Chip Spice continues to get involved in the Hull community – despite its relocation. Tomato ketchup, mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce all reigned supreme in different parts of the country and it was one of them which our patch chose as its number one accompaniment - not chip spice.

Chip spice is just our area's third favourite topping for a chippy tea with tomato ketchup winning the race to be crowned the region's favourite. Mushy peas came in second place. The increase is being put down to Hull’s status as City of Culture . Here, it even outsold Heinz Tomato Ketchup and Nando’s Peri Peri Salt Sprinkles.However, as you would expect, the answers supplied by the sample of nearly 30,000 people in England varied depending on where they live.
