Chip Butty/Sandwich/Roll….

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..?

i always thought a Stottie was Scottish..

Recently perhaps when a little throwback drunk I had a humous wrap thing they put some chips in.. it was surprising but it was good.

📣What is universally true though is any sniff of gravy, curry sauce or anything resembling either of things is completely wrong and evil near chips. Chips need some crunch to contrast with the fluff FGS.

Noooooooo

It's one of the few amazing things that have come out of the NE!

Other than me obvs

I just feel very sad that you have lived 40 (50?) years on this planet, without enjoying the heaven that is a chip buttie.

Chip butty- haven't had one for ages but I did like them

I can’t believe I’m only the second person to say you need cheese too. Strong cheddar grated liberally on the bread then topped with hot chips so it melts.

I haven’t don’t this either, OP.

Potatoes don’t belong in bread.

They absolutely do! Try it. You will never look back.

honestly no idea why anyone would ruin tasty crispy chips by putting them in boring textureless bread!!

but I don’t really enjoy bread

i know I’m in the minority but really can’t understand it

also NE Scotland

I love bread and eat far too much of it but chips and crisps do not belong in bread.

Can't believe we now have people saying gravy too! Gravy is vile and I will never ever understand the logic of pouring it over a food that is meant to be crisp like chips and making it soggy. Yuk yuk yuk

@BeyondMyWits I used to share an office with the daughter of the owners of the cafe on the dock. Small world!

Haha... it really is! Don't imagine it is still there... or if it is it probably serves a much more upmarket clientèle than students and delivery drivers.

I am 50 and have never eaten a chip or crisp sandwich. They sound revolting to me.

For sure. Tayto cheese and onion with white hovis loaf. But has to be tayto prawn for muffins 🤣 my very grown up picnics lol

I shouldn't read threads like this when intermittent fasting! Yorkshire lass here. Mmmmmmm chip butty, as a kid on way home from swimming 😍as an adult I have to admit to the odd piece of bread creeping into meals which have chips, the hot against cold, crunch against the soft dough... yum.

Has anyone tried buttered wholemeal sliced bread, filled with mashed banana, accompanied by salt and vinegar crisps (strong ones)? Thank me later 😂

It was demolished when they retired but a new one replaced it.
