My kids made these for years. I thought it was a toddler thing.

I don’t know what the whining is about; Burger King doesn’t claim that they invented the chip butty.

Well, I guess I do know: the whiners are leftists, as “cultural appropriation” is a uniquely leftist whining point.

Good chip butty photo in the linked article.

“Unimpressed Brits have mercilessly mocked Burger King's new 'chip butty' - as bewildered Americans are horrified by the 'monstrous' invention.

The British staple, which is being trialled in New Zealand as part of Burger King's Change Range menu, caused confusion earlier this week when a photograph of the sandwich appeared online.

The burger - known as the 'chip butty' - contains the fast food restaurant's fries sandwiched between a sesame seed bun alongside tomato ketchup and mayonnaise.

It came as a very familiar sight to many Britons, who mocked the American fast food chain for taking so long to 'finally figure out what a chip butty is'. …”

Just one thing, a 'butty' IS a sandwich.

Calling it a 'chip butty sandwich' is like saying a 'chip sandwich sandwich'.

In South Wales, a 'butty' is your best pal, from Welsh 'bwyty' - pal/friend.

Yeah, I understand now that “butty sandwich” is redundant, because you explained it near the top of page 2 of this thread.

But I’m glad to hear your explanation of the origin of the word “butty”.

That's the first thing that came to mind for me as well:

YUP, I have 2 Primanti's near me and the sandwiches are good.

I have never been wowed by any English food. It's one of the worst cuisines IMO. Everything is fried and tasteless as this chip buddy probably is.

That's because demand is extremely low for "baked beans on toast" shops.

Fries/chips/frites, even chips/crisps, *on* a sandwich are good.

I love beans on toast! But I don’t have a sweet tooth, so I use Rosarita Black Beans instead of baked beans.

Chicken tikka masala is British.

There are a bunch of delicious traditional British foods, too. Off the top of my head, savory pies, shepherd's pie, Cornish pasties, and Yorkshire pudding are all fantastic. There are some great desserts, too. Sticky toffee pudding is delightful.

Also some things people don't usually think of as British are, like beef Wellington.

Saw what you almost did there, sir

Baked beans on toast with a poached egg on top, maybe with a Guinness on the side, for breakfast. Bush's BB preferred...

Ok, anything with fries is an automatic win in my book. But, they can keep the malt vinegar. I was on a layover in Heathrow a few years back and I stopped somewhere for breakfast. Great meal but the smell of malt vinegar was too much for me. The GF loves it but I feel the need to banish her to the kitchen when she opens the bottle...

only thing better than malt vinegar on fries is mayo,

yep, mayo,


and malt vinegar is the bomb on fried fish,

Not for this guy. I only put salt on either one.

Heh, maybe. Boeuf en croute is very similar, but there are so many other British meat-in-pastry things. There's been so much cross-pollination over the years, maybe we can just call it both.

Britons vote BACON as the nation's favourite filling

The chip butty didn’t appear in the list of favorite butties.

#1 Bacon
#2 Mayo
#3 Cheese & Pickle

The photos show two pieces of bread, so a sandwich rather than a butty? But the link is a British web site…

#3 has the basic ingredients of the Ploughman’s Lunch: bread, cheese, and pickle. The pickle is Branston Original Pickle. It’s an excellent condiment – great on hotdogs. I have a jar of it in my fridge and two more in a cabinet. Available on Amazon.
