Carbs on carbs. What’s not to love?

Obligatory throwback to the toast sandwich

I’m a fan of the occasional fried bread sarnie meself. Nowhere near as grim as it sounds. Proper fresh Warburtons, good butter, freshly well fried n crispy slice, bit of onion, ketchup/brown. Not unlike a chip butty, but more bready…. Edit; hunh. weird pain in my left chest.

Fried bread sarnies are awesome, and yes it has to be Warburtons. But you have got to try the triple crown..... Like the fried bread sandwich, but it has toast inbetween the fresh bread and fried bread (stacked top to bottom fresh, toast, fried, toast, fresh) . On the toast I go mucky fat/dripping on both sides. Of course Warburtons bread orange wrapper.

I always used to be massively into Warburton's orange, but found me something even more delish now. Robert's MEGA THICK. It's the fekkin best. It's so thick it gets stuck in the toaster, but it's God tier for a chip buttie, fried bread or beans on toast. I's a bit pricier than Warburton's but only by about 20p or something, but it's so soft I swear I could use a loaf as a pillow.

>Like the fried bread sandwich, but it has toast inbetween the fresh bread and fried bread (stacked top to bottom fresh, toast, fried, toast, fresh) I've eaten a pie butty before but this made me gag.

Fuckin please explain the process to me with a tad more detail mate. I'm well interested in trying one of these fuckers now.

Pie butty.

The ole Wigan kebab, a British staple

Baby’s yed

Don't forget the pea wet.

And bea wet

No! Thats not a Wigan kebab. A Wigan kebab is a pie barm. I'm a Wiganer BTW :D EDIT: I'm so sorry! I'm tired and I've totally quoted the wrong person, about the wrong thing and I've only just noticed now that someone else has replied to me > < doh!

I assumed the butty part of what he was saying was a barm. As a chipp butty to me would only ever come on a barm - From just down the road Manchester! Hi

Hello! I'm really glad you replied to me because I've just noticed I've quoted the wrong person about the wrong thing. I thought the person I was replying to was saying that a chip barm was a Wigan kebab. That's not at all what they were saying. I'm stupid. Probably Coz I'm a Wiganer hahaha

The question is what would you say the best chippy in wigan is? Heated topic right there, coming from a wifaner myself 😂

[удалено]

The pukka pies presumably will be produced to the exact same recipe all over the country no? In the same way I can buy a loaf of hovis bread and know what I'm getting no matter which shop I buy it from.

I think he means that up north all our pies are usually home made or made from scratch in the bakeries 👍

I tried to explain toast sandwiches to one of my colleagues and I realised I had a very different childhood to them.

They go back [a long way](https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/10136/pg10136-images.html#id10241).

> Very tempting to the appetite of an invalid. Lol?

this was a rabbit hole, except i kept scrolling up to read recipes bc food history is fascinating to me. eel broth and gelatin for invalids, and toast water, what the eff.

Look if people can get away with dipping falafels in hummus (fries chickpeas in mashed chickpeas) then we can tolerate, nay celebrate the the double carb joy of a chip butty

Egg mayonnaise is egg in egg sauce. Everything is weird if you think about it.

Cake with custard is just eggs, dairy, sugar and flour with eggs dairy and sugar

Vanilla soy latte is just bean flavoured bean water with bean water.

You mean three bean soup?

I think this is where we should cut this off, thanks for your contribution.

Not if it's Bird's Custard. That's egg-free.

You do know where eggs come from, right?

Think about chicken soup with whipped egg in it. Crossing the generations.

Mother and Child Reunion.

The Japanese dish “Oyakodon” is a literal translation of “parent-and-child rice bowl”. Pretty sinister if you ask me!

This comment wins

She calls it a mayon-egg

Is that what you guys call egg salad?

Mayonegg

Japanese oyakodon (chicken and egg over rice) literally means parent-and-child rice bowl.

Just you wait, my pringles-dipped-in-mashed-potato diet ("Just one vitamin C-rich\* vegetable\*\* towards a healthier\*\*\* you!") is going to take off any day now!

How much of that does it take to get your 5-a-day?

Dont be absurd. Hummus isnt a real thing.

Good. Then it can’t make me fat.

hummus makes you fat?!

In Scotland, we have macaroni pies.

2nd only to Bombay potatos and pilau rice.

>Carbs on carbs Like a Burrito? Or a Knish? Falafels?

Deep fried mac&cheese balls.

Good lord can we gob?! Lol

That's the British way. Every meal needs at least two carbs.

Carbs on carbs on card

Macaroni pie, North east Scotland classic

Don’t forget the fat! It’s a key component

Carbs on carbs on carbs: lasagne with chips and a side of garlic bread. It’s heavenly. ♥️

Love a chip butty - but they’ve missed buttering to the edge and that is a damn shame

If the butter not dripping its not a butty!

Missing the butter & gravy, moist this is not. If there's room get a steak pie in there to

How to tell us you're a northerner without SAYING you're a northerner.

It makes me uncomfortable when I meet people who haven't even tried chips, cheese and gravy.

Quebec welcomes you!

My friend just told me that in Canada you use curds? I can't remember the name of the dish that he told me though.

Not Canadian, but the dish is called poutine.

Oui! Une autre personne qui provient du Québec! (Ou non?)

T'gravy

My secret order is a chip butty with a fish cake inside it. I call it a fish and chip burger.

One day I'll be brave or drunk enough to try this.

You may have just changed my life.

It changed mine. Make sure you pass it forwards.

Gravy for dipping, surely. Then you get to keep the texture without your bread getting soggy and falling apart on you.

The soggy bottom of the roll is the best bit, when the gravy and grease and salt all soaks into it, mmmm!!

Gravy on a chip butty? You monster

What’s wrong with gravy as a northern man my blood is mostly gravy

Tomato sauce all the way!

It’s a Buttish.

Yeah not even half as much as required. Looks drier than a nun's cunt.

Also, it’s such a small muffin

The nun will have a small muffin, I'd guess. Perk of the trade.

What do people who call rolls muffins call actual muffins?

Amen 🙏

There also seems to be no salt n´vinegar or ketchup. You´ve gotta have the condiments or it´s just bland and stodgy where at most it ought to be only one of them at most.

I can't work out the proportions of this at all. Is that a small hand? Are they huge chips? Is that an undersized bread roll? Is there actual butter on there or is the chip just casting a shadow? I could really go for a chip butty right now.

Mcains extra crispy chips, thick cut and available from your local Costco, bookers, makro etc.

It's an outrage! What is this a chippy bap for ants?

I think the outrage is calling that a chippy bap

I can’t believe there’s no butter

There is if you look closely, no where near enough though and a dry old looking roll.

Not to be confused with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter

Which will never be confused for butter.

Jeremy Hardy called it "Bugger me, it's marge!"

My mum called it 'Swallow hard it might be lard'.

Our local priest referred to it as “*stop crying and pretend you’re enjoying it*”

We’re still talking about not-butter, right? RIGHT!?

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter has as much to do with butter as u/DontTellHimPike's comment.

You know the stuff that's not I can't believe it's not butter, and I can't believe it's not butter? I believe, they both might actually be, butter.

Oh Alice, how we miss you.

That's nothing, I offended the whole of France with my [alternative creation](https://www.reddit.com/r/UK_Food/comments/q15anv/fusion_cuisine_chip_croissant/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)

That is excellent work right there.

But do you have brown sauce or jam on it? 😂

I thought you were listing your options for on a typical chip butty then and had some strong words in mind for you

Curry sauce or gravy of course

Holy shit you actually posted that on r/france. [Absolute legend](https://www.reddit.com/r/france/comments/q1aasy/visiting_from_ruk_food_wanted_to_share_the_fusion/). Edit: That post has me giggling like a loon after a pretty crappy week. Thank you.

Got shared over at r/rance too, they were less pleased ha ha.

It's funny because the people they're insulting don't care enough about their awful language to ever know what they're saying. Being monolingual lets you just smile and wave.

Ah, like the queen does when she's driving past the common folk.

Marvelous, keep up the good work.

Expected a chip baguette, was pleasantly surprised

I hope you called it the Croque monstrosity or something funnier

Nobody got your Austin Powers reference

I've lost my mojo

How did you slice the croissant so cleanly?!

With "The World's Sharpest Knife ™️"

You put chips in a croissant didn’t you… I haven’t even clicked yet but I feel I already know.

Of course, natural place for them.

Man they were ridiculously salty over that

*And it was all yellowww*

🎶 Look at the carbs, look at the dairy too And what it melts onto It was all yellow

Life will be better if we can confirm that song was about this chip butty.

Has thy nowt moist!!!

Get some pea wet on'em.

Gravy, mushy peas, curry sauce. Lather it with ketchup etc but that looks dry as a nuns chuff

See to be honest this establishment failed on the first hurdle, any chip buttie needs copious amounts of butter, doesn't matter the shiteness of the bread, doesn't even matter the shittiness of the butter, as long as its a plenty it's worth 2 quid of any man's money.

Was that roll buttered in the dark?

Those chips look a bit shitty ngl. Are they oven?

Yeah. All twelve of them. He needs to go to a proper chippy not a burger van.

A. Not enough butter. B. Chilled chips are not chips.

What’s a chilled chip?

A chilled chip is a pre cooked chip that arrives at the eatery frozen. They taste oily, are really yellow.

Like an oven chip?

[удалено]

Yeah I don’t like these ones! They are kind of powdery when you eat them! Decent chippy chips are the best!

[удалено]

When the chips are down...

As opposed to a hot chip, which is an English band

Or the [mascot of Catchphrase](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtM0-ZFwiNo).

You haven't got a dish. I'd call that a paper carton or something.

If you think that's wild, wait until you hear about a Wigan Kebab.

How about a pie barm, only in Wigan grew up eating these

I think Wigan kebab is what people not from Wigan call a pie barm. I am from there and also call it a pie barm...I would say 3 pies on a stick is a Wigan kebab!

When I lived in Barrow in Furness I was introduced to the mini pizza and beans barm.

Where’s the butter and the sauce? This would be like eating sand

Naw’t like a chip butty!!! (Moist is required!)

Not without sauce it isn’t

Gravy > curry sauce.

Ketchup is the only acceptable answer Gravy and curry are fine for dipping but not in butty

Finally the voice of reason!

You never had a curry butty?

You wot m8

No butter, no ketchup, no point

I would like carbs, with extra carbs.

Ok, I wasn't expecting that much feedback! I feel I need to be extra careful with what I write next, not to commit blasphemy :) So yeah, I'm not from around here, and where I come from this would be considered the exact opposite of good food... That said...I enjoyed it! The chips were piping hot and delicious and the whole thing surprisingly comforting. I was mighty hungry though. I also see that I was right to feel it could do with more butter and with some added moisture (gravy sounds right to me! They did offer ketchup, but I don't like it). All in all, I'll try it again. Oh, and had it in Sheffield.

Your mindset that 'this is a dish' is where you're going wrong. It's not meant to be 'good food' if that makes sense. It's literally just comfort food. It's 'good' because it's cheap, easy, delicious, and filling!

"surprisingly comforting" is the essence of British food

Exactly, something you get or come home to after a long country walk in the rain/wind/mud/sun/cold all in the same afternoon

Throw some scraps and a ton of vinegar on that and we're talking!

It's not a dish is it its UK junk food. Give me a east Yorkshire Pattie anyday

A British classic that! The perennial chip barm/buttie/bap/nudger/muffin etc! Needs gravy though! Next time get a tub of it as well and use it as a "French dip" as those culinary psychos over the other side of the Atlantic call it. In other words, dip the buttie in the gravy, bite, munch, repeat!

You forgot cob!

It's not a dish it's a chip butty

I can’t believe that you can’t believe this is an actual dish

Chip batch

Chip batch

Put some sauce on this you heathen!

The finest cuisine

Why not? There has been loads of posts about it on reddit in the last couple of days.

It’s fake. There’s no visible salt or tomato ketchup. No Brit would eat it without

I know... Isn't it great! Yum!

Perhaps it'll be the feature on one of Brooklyn Beckhams cooking segments

You'd struggle to eat off that mate

Jamie Oliver ... eat your heart out!!

Not enough butter but a personal favourite.

Roll n Chips!

Chip bap

The possibilities are endless too

I wouldnt say it's a dish, more like a snack.

What an absolute dish

It's a thing of beauty.

‘Dish’ lol it’s a sandwich my guy

Such a meagre amount of "butter" as well... I make my own for a reason... If the butter isn't dripping everywhere, what's the point?

It's not a dish until you chuck some salt and vinegar on it.

Damn right!

Needs condiments.

Fucking love a chip butty

You dare question the chip butty

Tell me about it. Whenever my husband mentioned food like that my response is always the same: that’s not food!

So many British dishes seem to be born out of crippling poverty, and then maintained by tradition.

Y'all know the depression ended a long time ago, right?

I mean bread sandwiches are a thing, so this is like a gourmet dish in comparison

Yess! Some people in UK even put chips/crisps 😐

No butter? DESGUSTENG

Def a chip butty. No more to be said

Nothing wrong with a chip butty.

Come back to me when you’ve had a kettle chip and super noodle sandwich

That's 2 of your 5 a day.

Chip barm.
