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 )

It's a barm !
Barmston are better than sliced bread they hold together better.
Barm lots of butter black pepper, proper chips ( I still have a chip pan ) sometimes a bit of mayo but nothing else .

>>puts on hard hat<<
salt and vinegar can bugger off

StormingNorman · 02/09/2024 21:48

Brioche is a hard no. The only acceptable alternative to thickly sliced white bread is a lightly warmed pitta. Chips can’t escape see.

Maybe stop pissing on chips and you might like one

😂😂😂 Made me chuckle!!

At school on the 80s. We used to go to the chippy across the road and get a chip butty - chips in a floury bap. I only ever had salt on mine but the bap was buttered. 60p if I remember correctly. We used to take them to school, open a fire exit and sit on the flat roof of one of the blocks to eat them.

I’ve never had a chip butty since I left school.

HoppityBun · 02/09/2024 21:49

It’s nice if you add a few secret squares of CDM to that, salt, vinegar and all. Honestly.

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 02/09/2024 21:49

Scottish morning roll, butter, chips, salt and vinegar.

No no no, you absolute heathen, you are doing it all wrong.

Dry air fried sad potatoes with all life sucked out, 3 chips per person, on homemade brown rye and sourdough chia seed massive salad infused bread. No seasoning and heaven forbid a condiment goes anywhere near.

Of course you’ll only be able to manage two mouthfuls between a family of four.

I thought you meant 2 mouthfuls each! My goodness, I would never manage all that. I feel quite faint...

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.

same

Is this made with crisps or chips? I could maybe tolerate crisps and mayo but the idea of chips in a sandwich or roll sounds disgusting.

AliMonkey · 02/09/2024 21:50

just white sliced, ketchup and chips, though a bap instead would be OK, but butter and ketchup together is just wrong

Hey I definitely don't want piss on my chips ! 😀

Mumistiredzzzz · 02/09/2024 21:51

The very softest white bread roll, lashings of butter. Salt and vinegar on the chips and then a layer of mushy peas. Hungry now!

lashy · 02/09/2024 21:51

Your way, minus the ketchup.

Please try it! The salty butter melted from the heat of the chips 😮‍💨 good lord

UrsulaBelle · 02/09/2024 22:00

White bread, preferably from an unsliced loaf but sliced will do. Lots of butter, salt and vinegar on the chips and HP sauce! Though HP doesn’t seem to taste as nice as it used to. Hate tomato ketchup,

olivehater · 02/09/2024 22:01

Same as you but chipshop gravy instead of ketchup if it’s chip sop chips

Saschka · 02/09/2024 22:03

Two slices of bread, with chip shop chips in. Obviously the chips have salt and vinegar on.

Chips in breadcake are fine, but not a chip butty. Ketchup has no place on chip shop chips (mushy peas are fine), and French fries are not correct for a chip butty.

Vergeofbreakdown23 · 02/09/2024 21:40

Omg what is all this talk about toasted 😱🤣
Bread - any bread. Butter - proper butter. Chips and salt! That's it! 😀

My chip butty twin, I am a purist!

You never put your fries in your Big Mac then? You are missing out.

roughride24 · 02/09/2024 22:05

COB!!!!!

Cheesy chip cobs are just 🤤. Only if I can be arsed to throw it under the grill or air fryer til it gets a bit melty crispy though. Otherwise it's just lots of salt and vinegar, I can't bear ketchup so that would ruin it for me.

I could really eat one now actually...

pengymum · 02/09/2024 22:07

Chip butty: 1 slice white bread, thickly buttered! Chips, salted & vinegared , loaded in and then fold over slice and take a delicious buttery bite! Sometimes I'll put ketchup, mayo and a drizzle of HP but usually that's for the 2nd butty. 1st one is savoured in the pure form! 😋

But I take your chip butty & raise you: a fried egg sandwich!

TWO slices of thickly buttered white bread, hot fried egg - set white, slightly runny yolk! Salt & pepper to taste, smidge of ketchup & drizzle of HP.

Cut into triangles and dig in!
😘

Perfect comfort food!

Ooh just seen someone's brought in the crisp sandwich!
Again 1 white slice, thickly buttered filled with cheese & onion crisps! Fold & enjoy! Mmmmm!

Edited to note: ALWAYS fat fried chips!
French fries do not qualify!

Mellowautumnmists · 02/09/2024 22:07

White bread, thick butter, chip shop chips, salt and HP sauce! I want one now!

thefamous5 · 02/09/2024 22:16
