I have never had one although I harbour a secret thing for fish finger sandwiches.

I love a chip butty. Has to be either sliced white bread or an oven bottom muffin. I'm surprised the article rules out muffins when they go on to say how the product was invented round here

Food of the gods, but can’t remember when I last had one.

My dad makes the best chips, no arguing- it is a fact. I haven’t eaten with my parents since before lockdown, maybe I could persuade him to do Chip butties next week.

Tomato ketchup is OK, but Salad cream is better. Not mayonnaise which, as said in the article, doesn't work in contact with hot chips. It's OK as a dip, but not a hot sandwich.

I've never had one either. I have no objection to chips or white bread and butter but I can't get my head round taking beautiful chips and squashing them between bread and butter. Chips are a huge treat to be sprinkled with salt and vinegar and preferably eaten one by one in one's fingers.

One day I'll try one to see what all the fuss is about.

Proper Chips & gravy between two slices of bread, p'raps a drizzle of vinegar - no arguments - 'tis the Lancastrian way.............!!!!!!!

I have them very rarely, but when I do, oh yes!!!.
A white roll, butter, chippy chips obvs with salt and lots of vinegar, generally no sauce but sometimes maybe a bit of tartare or ketchup if it's already on the plate.
The absolute must is the cup of tea with it, Twinings Assam in a Le Creuset mug, full fat milk, one large sugar.

No
I have had one and that will do me

I like chips, but not in a butty, and I'm with PP on the fish finger sandwich, With tartare sauce

There's been a think in London pubs over the last couple of years, fish finger sandwiches made with house fish fingers (chunky goujons), really good bread, house tartare sauce. Home made with Captain Birds Eye's finest and (ideally) London bloomer bread are good but the thing about the pub ones is they deep fry freshly crumbed fish for perfect texture

After more than half a century of trying I still think vinegar on chips is weird,

I've never had one, either. Yuk.

I love vinegar on chips and far too much salt . I don’t really get a chip butty either , chips are great enough on their own without a pappy bit of bread .

Fishfinger sandwiches though ....

a northern friend, decades ago, once eulogised about a chip butty and said i had to try one.
i did.
haven't felt the need to repeat the experience.
a 'dish' which is less than the sum of its parts, if you ask me.

I would enjoy a nice crisp sandwich. Just soft white bread and plain salted crisps. Nothing fancy!

In a buttered morning roll for me please with lots of salt and vinegar.
In my teens during the school holidays it was often the lunch choice of me and my mates. Buttered roll and soft drink from the bakers and a large portion of chips from the chippy to share between us while we sat on the sea wall or if raining the shelter, happy memories

aero - crisp sandwiches are the business. Ready salted are the best though prawn cocktail flavour are surprisingly good.

I have never fancied a Chip Butty but am very partial to a Fish Finer Baguette, with a little lettuce and mayo.
According to QI, Mrs Beaton suggested a Toast Sandwich as suitable for invalids

Oh yes! Though ideally also needs a splodge of very traditional salad cream in my view.

I love a good chip butty but it has to be thick white sliced bread, heavy on the butter and the chips have to be thick and hot. There has to be a contrast between the cool soft bread and the hot crisp chip, and if the butter doesn't drip down your fingers a little bit, then you haven't used enough butter or your chips aren't hot enough.

Cheese and onion squares on crappy white sliced make the best crisp sarnies, must have plenty of butter too.

[patpoyntz Profile]

Salad cream good, but a fried egg with just oozing yolk even better!

[Pampy Profile]

Spot on, Kacey!

[WWordsworth Profile]

All suggestions are, good apart from the white sliced bread.
2-day old wholemeal for me please.

Can't bear the stuff that sticks in your teeth.
