To ask how you make a chip butty?

Mine is a white bread bap, butter, salt, vinegar, chips and ketchup. All sorts of rubbish being spouted in my office earlier about salad cream, beans, toasted brioche! How do you do it?

Yanbu- your way is the way
Yabu- there's another way ( enlighten me )

I prefer a grainy type of bread or bun, lots of butter, salt, vinegar, and brown sauce. Occasionally cheese as well.

Never had one in a bap or any sort of bread roll. Always 2 slices of bread, buttered, lots of salt. That's all. No off piste novelty crap.

One hundred percent this. The only concession to fanciness is that the bread should ideally be freshly baked white bread, cut in doorsteps. You serve each family member a plate of proper chips and a couple of buttered slices of bread on the side for them to make their own.

God, I miss my nan right now 😍

Never had one, no intention of trying one ever!

I loathe vinegar and salad cream.

Why would anyone think to put chips(carbs) in a roll/cob/ butty (carbs) and think it was good?

Just no!

God forbid someone might like carbs

Thick sliced white bread, lots of butter, a ton of chips. Job done!

Couldn't agree more, although I like a bit of ketchup thinly spread on doorstep thick bread!

A buttered batch, salt, vinegar and red sauce.

MassiveOvaryaction · 03/09/2024 08:04

Sliced white bread, butter, chippy chips with a splash of vinegar and lots of salt.

Ketchup does not belong in a chip butty.

SugarHorseSpooks · 03/09/2024 03:42

Similar to some in the office, bread or bap, butter, chips, then ketchup and salt @DebateWithMoi

ThePoshUns · 03/09/2024 03:40

White sliced bread
Butter
Chips
Salt
Vinegar

Nat6999 · 03/09/2024 03:21

Best thing is chips from chippy, quick blast in airfryer to warm them up to hot, breadcake buttered & waiting, tip chips on breadcake, add salt & vinegar top of breadcake on & enjoy the butter running up your arms.

For some reason to best chip butty I can ever remember eating was when I was down to my last five euros in Paris. I had a bus journey home and was starving. I bought a baguette from a bakery, it was warm and fresh and then some McDonald's fries. They were fresh, and hot and crisp! Omg..I shoved them in the baguette and for some reason I was in absolute heaven?! The crispness and heat, the soft bread with a crunchy outside...mmmm...
Maybe I was just bloody starving.
I don't usually like McDonald's fries and would never put them in a baguette in the UK.
I guess I'm not really a chip butty aficionado?!

Just4thisthreadtoday · 03/09/2024 01:03

One slice of well buttered white bread (in left hand)
layer of chips (not too many)
(salted at chip van sometimes vinegar too
Heinz ketchup

butter dripping

drink

repeat.

prefer just a slice of bread as I find baps/cobs/rolls etc too filling & one slice of bread folded over, not two together, easier to eat, fewer chips escape.

might have to be the chip van Thursday night!!

AsYouWiiiiiiiiiiiiish · 03/09/2024 01:02

Warburton's, Lurpak salted, ketchup and chips from the fish & chip shop.

Simple and effing delicious!

TheOpalReader · 03/09/2024 00:59

Breadcake, chips, maybe scraps if I'm feeling them, salt and enough vinegar to soak in to the bottom bread. No sauce at all on the butty, but it's acceptable to have something on the side to dunk it in.

jazzybelle · 03/09/2024 00:57

The freshest white bread, soft butter, salt, vinegar and chip shop chips.

SnowFrogJelly · 03/09/2024 00:45

No bread.. fried egg with the chips instead

JMSA · 03/09/2024 00:43

I love chips and I love bread. But I just don't enjoy them together. Same with a crisp sandwich.
Sorry!

Wingingitbestican · 03/09/2024 00:42

Hovis white bread, no butter! Thinly spread mushy peas on bread and add lots of chips and salt - amazing!! 😀

spikeandbuffy24 · 03/09/2024 00:07

Go to the chip shop and ask for one with scraps
So buttered barm, chips with salt and vinegar, scraps and mayo

soundsys · 03/09/2024 00:07

Same as you only it's a chip barm 😁

OneTC · 03/09/2024 00:02

White bread of some sort and loads of butter, salt on the chips.

Couple be a bap, could be slices, just as long as it's basic white bread.

It's acceptable to make them out of whatever you have lying about as long as chips and butter are involved
