Chip butty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the United Kingdom, a chip butty is a sandwich made with bread (usually white and buttered) and chips, often with some sort of sauce such as tomato ketchup. ^[1] Depending on the region, the dish may also be known as a chip sandwich (in Australia), chip muffin, chip barm, chip batch, chip bap or chip teacake.

The chip butty is a common dish throughout the UK, and many chip shops sell them, primarily as an affordable snack. Chip butties may also be made impromptu by including a couple of pieces of bread with a main dish, such as fish and chips. Variations on the seasoning for the sandwich, apart from ketchup, include salt and vinegar, brown sauce, curry sauce and gravy.
