Thats C for Chip Butty!

This scenario sounds very familiar to me, apart from the bit when someone was kind enough to offer you some chip butties

O.K. , being the uncultured person that I am ( at least , that's what my better half says ) , what is a chip butty ?

And does it go well with peanut butter ?

what is a chip butty ? And does it go well with peanut butter ?

It's not quite as bad..

Imagine two thick slices of over-processed white bread that have been liberally coated with margarine to create a sandwich (or 'butty' as them oop north do say...)

Betwixt these two greasy slabs is then arranged some chips (you probably call them fries) - which are usually crinkle cut types that have no potatoes in their ancestry.

Such chips are usually dripping with grease from the frier.

Attempts to consume this delicacy usually results in one or more chips descending onto the floor. Those who indulge are often of a persuasion that makes them broadly unconcerned about this..

Cant really argue with that description. Can you Derek? I would possibly say they aren't crinkle cut, but that would be splitting hairs!
How did Tom know that a few of your chips ended up on the floor, before you baggysed that fine bed in my kitchen? Were we bugged???

I take that this is considered a delicacy . . .

Margarine is for girls and Southern Jessies. A real chip butty must contain real full-fat butter, as the name suggests.

I can't argue with the falling on the floor bit

When I last had a chip butty in Hull, there was no namby, pamby margarine or butter. The bread was "lubricated" with beef dripping and the chips were fried in beef dripping.

Needless to say, I took one look at the congealing mess and left Hull and have refused to travel North of the Thames ever since.

I still shudder as I think about that night...

So our Hull Operatives completed the task!

Now that's a quote I would have expected from Derek, not from you!

PS - please admin, can we move this thread to meaningless drivel, it seems to have deteriorated a bit from Conky's first intention.
