@wynke Ah, so in British terminology that would be a bubble-and-squeak butty.
@Nickiquote I suppose so, though I understand that kale isn't/wasn't used as much in the UK? (In the Netherlands it's quite a classic, though I'm not sure how classic the 'serve leftovers on bread' is.)

@wynke It would be your basic cabbage here, typically.

I was involuntarily listening to two old ladies talking loudly to each other the other day. One, to the astonishment of the other, said she had never had a chip butty.
Being a true man of the world, I have had many chip butties in my time.
FYI, if needed, a chip butty is chips (ie french fries, NOT crisps) sandwiched between bread slices or in a bap/bun. Arguably it should be buttered, but we will ignore that for the purposes of the following poll:
Q. HAVE YOU EVER EATEN A CHIP BUTTY?
@Nickiquote Yes (South Africa), but I've never heard it referred to as such.
P.S. We don't know what "crisps" are. Nor "french fries". The ones of which you speak, and the ones that come in a bag and are commonly eaten as snacks, are called chips, so you have to figure out from the context which one the speaker means. Which is generally not difficult... but yeah, in the case of your post, I think the clarification was necessary.

@Nickiquote the chip butty is one of the pinnacles of cuisine in these islands.

Yes - rest of world (Australia) - but then mum's English and dad's family are Scottish, so possibly not entirely unexpected.
(And echoing the sentiment of others, butter is not negotiable - has to be there.)

@Nickiquote Yeah. That would probably be in the 'similar yet very different' category in terms of taste and texture.

Just as an aside, in Scotland when you sit in at a chip shop you can order a “fish tea”. This is fish, chips, a pot of tea and buttered bread, essentially inviting you to make chip butties.
What the Hell is Fish Tea?

@Nickiquote as a 56yr old Scotsman living in exile in London I've had my fair share of chip butties and fish teas.
Since marriage moved me to Englandshire they've been few and far between.
As an aside I haven't had butteries (Aberdeenshire rolls or "rowies") in over a decade either. I miss those too.

@CiaraNi When googling it I discovered that the main thing people call “fish tea” is a Caribbean fish soup.

Had a roommate from Edinburgh in San Francisco who made chip buttys. Also, salad sandwiches, which I'd never heard of, either

@sbourne Not what I'd call "decadent" but have you tried a peanut butter and bacon sandwich on toast? Or a bagel works well too.
@Axomamma Oh yes! An excellent application of bacon!

@Nickiquote I did not know that. Two fish teas, each at the opposite extremity of the spice spectrum. Unless vinegar counts, which might push the chipper-chips chip-butty version a little farther in from the edge.

@swisslet @sdarlington We can’t start talking about scraps, it’ll break the internet.

@Nickiquote Can you guess where the fish goes?
Me: Ooh, ooh, I know! It goes...
That's right. Fish goes on the side.
Me: ...
And where do the chips go?
Me: ... on the ...?
You guessed it. Chips go on the bun.

Never heard of it, I think. But last summer, I saw someone eating that in France at a roadside restaurant / gas station. -
@Knitronomicon @Nickiquote
1) sugar isn't starch even though it started life as starch.Chemically starch + heat (or other process) -> sugar.
Starch and sugar taste differently and stimulate different taste buds.
2) closest I've got to sugar or golden syrup or condensed milk sandwiches was '"fairy bread"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_breadI tried it but even as a child it wasn't my thing.
I don't like sugar or jam with peanut butter either.
Maybe I'm in a minority and it you love all thise foods, go you! I don't. Maybe my taste buds are different?

I don't think that a Pomm-#döner qualifies, as it does include meat… -

@PeteLittle miss those too. Even the shitty ones in Glasgow Tesco. Some similar things here but more on the sweet side than the savoury end of flavours.
