The Chip Butty




How do you like yours?
With ketchup? With butter? Please don't say with cheese.

We all know what a chip butty is, although depending on what part of the country you live in you might also know it as a chip cob, chip batch, chip bap, chip roll, chip breadcake...





This filling snack of carbohydrate may seem alien to the health conscious. Yes, it is filling. Anyone that thinks it as a lighter alternative to fish and chips might be mistaken; I've seen fellow chip fiends defeated after attempting a regular sized portion of chips accompanied by bread. Which leads me to think, why is a plate of fish and chips in a restaurant or pub sometimes served with slices of bread and butter?


Us Chip Fiends can recall the chip butty as a cheap and filling dinner at school many years ago.

We like chip butties. Only on white bread though, wholemeal doesn't quite work.
