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've had many a chip butty, but never from the chip shop.
Chip shop chips, salt and vinegar, buttered white bread, no sauce, prepared at home.
This is the only circumstance where I eat white sliced bread (well, alongside brethren mashed potato sandwich and pot noodle sandwich).
If you've never tried a pot noodle sandwich, you should give it a try. Messy heaven.
(a large forkful of noodles is sufficient)

@Nickiquote yes and, here it's a gatsby. but the chip gatsby is for the end of the month. beginning of the month is for the marsala steak gatsby

@Nickiquote I did give a 70 year old English man his first chip butty recently. I was shocked.
@Mick @Nickiquote I am shocked at the very essence of chip butty. And I'm from Eastern Europe.

@jqmcd Sorry, no.

This sounds like a cousin of the Bronx favorite "butter roll" which is kind of like a buttered roll, but more of a butter sandwich. A deli roll untoasted slathered with butter and cut like a sandwich. Cheapest item on the menu.

@Nickiquote I answered yes/UK although I'm not UK based anymore. I'll still eat chip butties, even if they have to be explained every time to looks of horror and amusement

OMG a butter roll now costs 1 dollar. It was always 30 cents for years then they went to 50 cents and it was like that last year.
But now you need a whole dollar for a butter sandwich.

@Nickiquote standard after work snack on the way up the road after a supermarket evening shift, Milngavie chippy, roll ‘n’ chips

@Nickiquote I haven't, in the traditional sense of the term, but this is choice, rather than some mysterious absence in my life. I've never wanted to, it's not a flavour and texture profile that appeals to me. I've also never had the classic crisp sandwich with white bread, margarine, ordinary crisps.
I have, however, enjoyed many sandwiches that contain chips (and crisps, though not at the same time) alongside other things.

@bigvimto @ambientspace @Nickiquote I had one a month or so ago. Air-fried frozen chips so most definitely a bit rubbish. I may try for a Totnes baked artisan sourdough with home made sweet potato fries in the summer to claim some middle class credentials and wax lyrically about how the original was less appreciated but tasted better because in those days we couldn’t appreciate quality home cooked food, probably as a result of it being the early eighties and everyone was skint.

@Nickiquote When I get fish and chips I like to bring more beige to the party by indulging in a chip buttie
@lukeharby @Nickiquote Absolute requirement of having fish and chips is some kind of buttered bread for the buttie! Even better if you sneak some mushy peas in there. -

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 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.

@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!
