Chip Butty/Sandwich/Roll….

[BathshebaKnickerStickers]

I can’t even begin to describe how my husband and I have just had a conversation in which we discovered that neither of us has ever put chips in a sandwich/roll/butty….

I always thought I was a little unusual in this but he thought that was perfectly normal. I’m from Central Scotland and he is from NE Scotland.

Are we unusual to have never done the chips/bread product thing..?

[therealmccoy1234]

I weep at the thought of how many years you've missed out on the joy of a chip butty 😥

[grimmers44]

Total weirdos, sorry.

[BathshebaKnickerStickers]

The face that we have managed to find each other in the true miracle of love…

24 long long years together and we just discovered this tonight…

Chip sandwich is the bomb

[mrsfollowill]

really odd to me! I went to school in NW (Lancs) and a 'chip barm' was the standard senior school dinner (along with 10 Benson and Hedges)- we got allowed out back then so flocked to the local chippies. I was very perturbed when I visited Sheffield Uni and it was called a 'chip butty'. I've lived in Yorkshire for 30 odd years now so chip butty rules.

You are both very strange !

My staple Friday night dinner is chips ( proper spuds washed, unpeeled, and cooked in a chip pan ) 2 or 3 fried eggs and at least 2 rounds of bread with proper butter . On the side ketchup and mayo .

I'm from NE Scotland and whilst I do indulge occasionally, I wouldn't say a chip butty is a big "thing" there 😂

[Findyourneutralspace]

You’re obviously made for each other! A chip barm is a thing of joy though. Maybe that’s your next date night.

Ah, the joy of hot, melted butter trickling down your arm… 🤤

[Coronationstation]

But do you do salt b sauce or salt n vinegar?
I can’t stand the texture of chips and bread but it’s quite common where I’m from in north England

[PinkPrincessPhilo]

I haven’t don’t this either, OP.

Potatoes don’t belong in bread.

[ScottBakula]

@off oh yes !

[ScottBakula]

@Coronationstation no salt and vinegar or brown sauce for me. I occasionally puch the boat out and have beans too 😛

[WeAllHaveWings]

Why haven't you had one? Is it just because you never had the opportunity, just don't fancy it or are you both insanely healthy eaters?

Chip butties were very much a staple food when I was in my teens and out with friends (after ice skating!) and we couldn't afford a fish/sausage or whatever supper - usually eaten later at night at a bus stop! Cheap and warm, spectacular on a cold night and better than just chips alone.

These were the days there was a BK, McDs, KFC in every town, before everyone drove everywhere and the days when teens didn't take all their friends back to their parents and order in take-a-away and had access to so many choices.

I have never tried chips and cheese - the thought of it is even 🤮

[bibbityboppityboo]

I'd never had a chip sandwich or a crisp sandwich until I met my DH! He'd cringe if he saw me type sandwich - he calls them butty.

Better with lots of butter and salt! Absolutely delicious.

Also - a chip shop scallop sandwich butty. Divine!

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

Wtaf I genuinely don't understand how you have never done this

[Leapintothelightning]

NE Scotland here, I have had it but not a thing done on the regular I don't think!
When I was doing my exams I always went to the shop up the road and got chips and cheese on a roll but I've never done it since 😂

[Moltenpink]

…come on England, give us a goal

[mrsfollowill]

Drenched in salt and enough vinegar to flavour but not wet the bread. Also these days tomato sauce (preferably from a tomato shaped sauce bottle) is the way to go. Yes to butter trickling down your arm- @BathshebaKnickerStickers - it's funny when you keep finding out random things after so many years together.

[Bonjovispjs]

Aww, I feel sad for you 😢 chip butty with curry sauce is the best 😋

[chipsandpeas]

wtf from scotland and never had a chip butty, i call bullshit

[Puffalicious]

I agree that it's not a super popular thing here- Central Scotland. We call it a roll and chips and I have had one on the occasion, but not loads. If I did when younger, needs to be HP sauce and salt and vinegar.

[notprincehamlet]

You've never lived until you've double carbed

[YouAndMeAndThem]

Yeah I'm from NE Scotland too and it's never been a thing here. My parents are English and they're more accustomed to this growing up but not since moving up here.

[BathshebaKnickerStickers]

Genuinely neither of us has ever bought or made chips in any form of bread. DH just keeps muttering “it’s not a thing” now.
