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    And the evidence, admittedly not PEER REVIEWED, backs me up.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

            Lol!

              There are many names for circular bread objects, all highly localised.

              This is the source of Zacks problem.

              Edwands problem is slightly more simple.

                I think we can all agree that a chip butty is a marvelous sandwich and its truly something that the Yanks could totally fuck up.

                Well Bens!, my Uncles and Aunties and extended family all hail from, or live round there and so far none of them are having that. Still a few to respond yet. I’ve never heard of it either and they are all Beeston and Hunslet area. Doesn’t get much more Leeds than that! Many fond memories of eating chip butties on saver white sliced shite, never once would you call a round piece of bread, no matter what it’s referred to, as a butty. Maybe that’s what posh people in Weatherby, Bramhope and Alwoodly call them? 😂
                By Edwands thinking, that chips on a roll by default is a chip butty, that would mean if you put them on a bagel, (which although shit is still a type of roll) that would also constitute being a chip butty. That’s how ridiculous it is to suggest that. And ultimately that’s why Edwand gets bashed and run out of town everytime he leaves London.

                  Edwands problem is he got all his information off the internet rather than having any actual local knowledge on the matter. I wouldnt dream of versing him on the ins and outs of being repeatedly sexually abused by teachers at a private boarding school for boys and suggest he does the same regarding the nuances of a chip butty.

                    The state of this. Arguing over how fried potatoes should be put on fucking bread of all things. And getting pissy about what that nonsense is called. I’ve left this thread alone because English “cuisine” is an oxymoron, as much as it might be my comfort food, and discussing it seems like debating what snow tastes better - what’s the point. You don’t have to worry about anyone screwing up your disgusting “cuisine” because literally nobody is looking to your isles for culinary inspiration. I do find it hilarious that the best argument you all can make for gastronomic superiority is pointing out the absolute worst of middle American carnival foods (as if that’s normal) with a, “see, maaaaaate, we’re not that bad!” Is that it? Is that all you have? Rote Indian food? Overpriced tweezer and foam hilarity? An over-cooked Sunday roast with a shit cask bitter?

                    You can have all that hogwash. Debate it to death. ’Cause nobody else wants it.
