Far be it for me to explain your own rich culture to you but during my time in the field, delving into butties, I came to understand that “butty” referred to the fact that there was butter on the bread. I inferred that butter = butty, sarnie = no butter. It seems I am wrong.

    I’ve obviously been to Leeds fucking countless times and have never ever heard of chips in a barm cake called butty. Occasionally breadcakes stottie or scufflers. In Cheshire where I grew up cob or bap. Which you say can I have a chip bap. None of these cunts would you refer to as a butty.

        Dermo’s favorite musical duo? Sarnie and Cher.

        Dermo is bang on fellas. A chipses butty is two slices of bread, a chipses barm is a roll. You never ever say can I have a chip roll - you get kicked to death in a chippy for that and rightfully so.

        They were taken down the tip where they belonged.

        Barm is definitely a Northern thing as I’ve never heard anyone call it that down here on the South Riviera

          A chip butty can also appear in a roll.

          I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just saying it can.

          And the evidence, admittedly not PEER REVIEWED, backs me up.

            zackster that’s a cup of tea, you daft ha’peth. Coffee with a chipsies butteries? Away!

              Smallman1 just checked with my family who are more northern than me. They say circular bread is not a roll. It’s a bap. This is causing a lot of issues.

              The mrs has just said chip butties have mayo and melted cheese on. In a barn cake. She grew up in Manchester and is clearly mental.
