    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?

    I have, late at night and very intoxicated at a Burger King, carefully stacked the entire bag of fries inside my hamburger before eating it. So it was fries between buns. Does that count?

      @worldwidewerner If there hadn’t been a burger patty in there, yes. What you had was arguably still primarily a burger, but I will leave it to your conscience to decide.

        @nixanadoo The thing to remember here is this is basically poverty food. It is a filling lunch a child can buy with their change. It is typically cheaper than just a single portion of chips.

          @Nickiquote I picked no-UK because I am half English. And I certainly would’ve had the opportunity when I lived in the UK for a few years, but I actually never did.

                    @Nickiquote I had trouble believing they were a thing. Then one day I saw them on a pub menu (down south, this was, not oop t'north where such things were rumoured to exist).

                    Me, wanting to find out whether this was a genuine menu item or a joke: "Do you really sell chip butties?"

                    Barmaid: "Sorry luv, last orders for food were ten minutes ago."

                      In California we do taters in a flour tortilla, soft-taco-style, with a smear of tart cream.

                        @Nickiquote I've heard that it's supposed to be a single slice of buttered bread, folded over the chips

                          Oh, yeah, and there are fries (sorry, sorry, "chips") in French tacos*, too.

                          *French tacos are not tacos, although they are called that in French. Meat (originally donair), cheese sauce, and chips wrapped in a flour tortilla like a burrito, then press-grilled like panini.

                                @Nickiquote Chippy where I grew up sold a 'bucket of chips - a half loaf with the crumb scooped out, and full of chips. Lush. And optional gravy! (South Wales Valleys). Now, further west, many (most?) chippies have chip butties on the menu. Totally normal!

                                      Oh yes, a pie barm is a thing of beauty

                                        @bigvimto @Nickiquote I’m thinking smashed garlic potatoes on toasted sourdough with a bit of crumbled Feta could be an amazing snack.

                                        @ambientspace @Nickiquote That does sound tasty, but is much more high-brow than a chip barm. Cheap white bread (sliced or roll/barm), chips, salt and vinegar, sauce if you're nasty. For a bit of extra crunch you can get scraps on there too - the little bits of batter that have fallen to the bottom of the heated display unit in the chippy.

                                          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 Chip butties disgust me, I'd rather have a macaroni cheese pie if I seek the early coronary.
