Chip butty
A chip butty is a sandwich made with chips on buttered white bread or a bread roll, often with an added condiment such as brown sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, or malt vinegar. The chip butty can be found in fish and chip shops and other casual dining establishments in the United Kingdom.
A chip butty is also less commonly known as a chip sandwich, chip roll, chip muffin, piece and chips, chip piece, or chip sarnie. In Australia, the sandwich is commonly known as a chip sanger. Kate Fox noted in her book Watching the English, "even if you call it a chip sandwich rather than a butty, it is about as working-class as food can get".
One variation is the chip bap or chip barm, which uses a floury bap or barm cake instead of sliced white bread. In the East Midlands a chip butty made with a bread roll is referred to as a chip cob.Scallop butty
A variation frequently seen in the North of England is the scallop butty, in which potato scallops are used in place of chips.A football chant called "The Greasy Chip Butty Song" is popular with the supporters of Sheffield United Football Club.
The chip butty made appearances both as a power-up in the video game Earthworm Jim 2 and as a house in the PC game The Neverhood.
