Chip butty with tomato ketchup

A chip sandwich, chip butty, (in British English) or french fry sandwich (in North American English) is a sandwich made with bread or teacake (usually white and buttered) and chips (french fries), often with some sort of sauce such as tomato sauce (i.e. ketchup) or brown sauce. [1] It was originally considered a working-class meal, served in pubs. The chip butty is a vegetarian-friendly, albeit junkfood, dish and has recently made a comeback. It is more common in the north of England.

A football chant (sung to "Annie's Song" by John Denver) called "The Greasy Chip Butty Song" is popular with the supporters of Sheffield United Football Club.

Variants include chip bap or barm, using a floury bap or barm cake instead of white sliced.
