Chip butty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A chip sandwich, chip barm, chip butty, (in British English), piece-n-chips (in Scottish English) or french fry sandwich (in North American English) is a sandwich made with bread or bread roll (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 dish (except when the chips are, as was traditional in a British chip shop, fried in lard or dripping). It is more common in the north of England than the south.
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.
Another variation in the North is the Scollop Butty where the chips are battered before frying.
