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 fries as an addition [insert x dish] is a surprisingly common feature among Dutch snack places, but so I think we're spoiled for choice. It can make a chip butty seems a little bit... plain?

Yup, I have had many a chip butty, made with proper chips from a proper chippie, back when I was still eating gluten.But, have you ever had a #ChipLoaf

The car is loaded with carboot stuff for tomorrow. The memory stick of music works. My phone has 4x as much memory in it. I have eaten two bits of rocky road, and two hot cross buns, and I am starving hungry. Yes, I did have lunch, but I am also low on weight since the weekend in Leicester. I feel like I could eat a chip loaf*! *A chip loaf is school days food when I was a young teenager. When we were allowed out for lunchtimes we'd go to the bakery to buy a tin loaf and ask for the end crust to be cut of. We'd then walk to the chippie eating the centre out of the loaf. At the chippie we'd ask for the hollow loaf to be filled with chips. We'd then eat that while walking back to school. #ChipLoaf

Non-UK folks may see references to names for bread that may need explaining. There are many local / regional names for a bead roll and many styles too, these can include, but are not limited to: rolls, buns, baps, barms, barm cakes, cobs, batch and stotties. Any can be used for a chip butty. Anything from two slices of mass produced white sliced loaf, fancy artisan sourdough, soft flour dusted bap or crusty bread roll. Chips, between two bits of buttered bread equals a chip butty.@bodluricon @Nickiquote
I'd argue this is one time where sliced white bread is actually recommended. It has just the right softness and folding consistency to make the perfect chip butty

@Nickiquote I have only one question: why?
@Son_of_a_George @Nickiquote
Why not? -

@Nickiquote I can’t believe no one has mentioned that it’s big fat chip shop chips, not skinny little fries. It’s big, it’s messy, the chips are fat and squishy not crunchy, and the bread has to be the cheapest white breadcake (roll, bap, bun) smeared with margarine out of a big square tub that will later be recycled as a receptacle for rock cakes. It can have salt and vinegar on if you’re fancy. (Image from Reddit UKfood) My local chippy has them for £3.20.

@Nickiquote French fries?

@Nickiquote answered no/UK as I've lived in the UK for 20 years... but now wonder if that should have been no/RoW as maybe this is a thing people do as children rather than adults. Do you eat such a thing as an adult?
I've heard of the concept of course, not sure if I have ever seen anyone do it.
@yvan Can confirm that adults do eat chip butties.

@Nickiquote I concur. @yvan

@Nickiquote does it count if it’s mashed potatoes instead?
@jqmcd Sorry, no.

@Nickiquote I haven't, but I have had a bacon butty! Visiting family in the UK, we were on a highway and saw banners advertising them for something ridiculous like £1 at the next rest area. Nothing in the name suggested food to our American ears
Our driver felt this ignorance had to be rectified, and so we ended up with a sack of bacon butties and everybody got one and we ate them standing up outside the car, butter dripping down our hands. One of the most decadent things I've ever eaten.@sbourne I worked for a law firm once that tried to get everyone to come in early for a breakfast meeting and to do so they got the catering staff to make a platter of bacon butties.

@Nickiquote A popular nutritional supplement where I grew up. Along with Sunday Tea of winkles on brown bread with vinegar.

@Nickiquote my only quibble with your description is it should not be "French fries" (which are so far from pommes pont neuf it's not funny), but good double fried, thick cut, chips/fries.
The kind of chips you get from a fish & chip shop
-
@Sarahw @Son_of_a_George Basically because it’s cheap and filling. But also! Tasty.

@Nickiquote in my hiking days the café at the bottom of Grindsbrook, a common starting point for Kinder Scout and the Pennine Way, did the most amazing chip butties. Bottom half of a buttered bap in a bowl, cover with chips until you can't see the bread then balance the top of the bap on top.

@Nickiquote When I get fish and chips I like to bring more beige to the party by indulging in a chip buttie

@Nickiquote buy a small round loaf (price not remembered), and get the baker to cut it in half, split it with a mate and buy a cone of chips (10p) pull the inner bread out and eat, fill remaining crust with chips and scoff the lot. Often accompanied by a frozen ‘jublie’ (also 10p, I think) which is a plastic carton of e-numbers and water purporting to be a child’s drink (think capri-sun with more sugar and e-numbers).

Some 55 years ago, a university department in a northern city put on a social evening for new students, in a pub. "Do you do food?" "Yes we'll put on a spread for you".
The food arrived, white sliced bread, margarine and a mountain of chips, with 'sauces' of course. Chip butties!
It freaked the southerners a bit. -

North Manchester: muffins.
South Manchester: barm cakes
Probably the Mercia/Northumbria border.
Boundary a bit blurred these days.
