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 I have not (continental North-Western Europe), but I probably should try it at some point.

@Nickiquote On the one hand, this is why people mock British cuisine. And I can feel my arteries hardening at just the thought of eating one. Yet, on the other… so good.

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?
Followers will know of our penchant for Fish and Chips, well, here we give you, the savvy traveller, the correct patois for your visi...

@Nickiquote there is the whole ‘supper’ terminology too. The only time non posh Scots use that word in my experience.

@Nickiquote when out cycling with my dad, we used to take ham and cheese sarnies, then if we passed a chippy - boom - chip butty of champions

@bobthomson70 In the north of Ireland, supper is either a fish supper, sausage supper etc, or a plate of buttered biscuits at bedtime.

Limitation accepted for poll purposes, but no butter? Not a butty! -

@Nickiquote What I *have* eaten, quite often as a child, is leftover 'boerenkoolstamppot' (mashed potatoes and kale), fried to heat it back up, preferably forming a crispy crust, served on buttered sliced bread.

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

@Nickiquote buttered biscuits before bed, class. We were talking the other day about how tea and toast was super common 21:00 snack before bedtime when we were tweens and teens.

@wynke Ah, so in British terminology that would be a bubble-and-squeak butty.

@BenCotterill @Nickiquote Only three options? Your poll is going to need to go to a dozen or more to cater for all the regional ways to describe a small soft spherical(ish) item of bread.

@Nickiquote buttered McVities digestives now on my mind.

@BenCotterill @Nickiquote It also reminds me of one of my favourite anecdotes centred around a misunderstanding of the meaning of "baps", but for legal reasons I'm unable to repeat that in public on Sundays.

But butty is the thing you make with the bap?? These are different things

@Nickiquote I'm a "Yes (rest of world)" but to be fair I only ever had chip butties in the UK.

@PetraPhoenix @Nickiquote Depends where you’re from

@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.)
