LOL! Hope you were able to resist having one for breakfast Donn! I'll spare you my collection of chip butty pics! :D Thanks my friend, and thanks for the knife info :)

Northern Monk tap takeover in one of my local hostelries last night :thumbsup:

Aye I resisted the chip butty in the end thanks! :D Weetabix and marmalade on toast makes for better breakfast.
Not a massive IPA fan but I've hadsome nice Northern Monk beers. The strength of that looks appropriate given the weather :thumbsup:

A pint of something in The Flowerpot pub in Derby with my SAK Waiter.

Yes indeed Donn, I'm not sure I could face a chip butty at breakfast time! :eeK: :D That looks like a fine watering hole my friend :) :thumbsup:
 
So I learned what a Chip Butty is this week and now I am going to make one and try it out, perhaps for lunch in a couple hours...

I hope to come to Great Britain within the next couple of years and since I am not too keen on tourist traps, hopefully I can have Jack Black Jack Black and donn donn take me on some serious pub crawls. Now that would be an adventure! :D

Hope you enjoy it Dylan! :D :thumbsup: I once asked for one in a bar in Barcelona, they thought it sounded a bit odd, but it soon caught on there! :D

That would be fantastic my friend :) :thumbsup:

It is Jack. Derby lays claim to being "Beer Capital of the World". I'm not quite sure it's that good but it's not far off :thumbsup::D

Sounds like a plan Padruig! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
And enjoy your chips butty! Remember you've got to cut the potato about the width of your thumb.

Pardon my ignorance gentlemen, but what exactly is a chip butty? :oops:

What we call chips the US calls fries, except here in Britain we cut them thick. (What you folks call chips we call crisps). Now in the part of England I'm from anything that is placed between two slices of bread is a butty; cheese, meat, sausages, chips.... But in other parts of the country a butty applies only to chips with anything else between two slices of bread being a sandwich (or sarnie). Though there's actually lots of names round the country. I think in Sheffield it would be called a Stottie?

It's a few years since I've been to Derby, I might have to arrange a field-trip! ;) The first time I heard the word 'butty', it was c/o Ken Dodd and the fabled Jam Butty Mines! :D I think the word only began to spread out of the NW in the late 60's/early 70's, in Sheffield it was just a chip sandwich (at home) or 'chips in breadcake' (in the chippy) before then (stottie is a bit further north I think, they say breadcake in Sheffield, Leeds also). I'm not sure about sarnie, I don't recall hearing it before around 1970, but that might have just been because I was a kid! :) :thumbsup:

My dad used to reckon that my very first word as a child was "Sandwiches!" :D Always seemed a bit unlikely to me :rolleyes:

To fix that I’m enjoying an Old Fashioned with a New Friend while I wait for the grill to get to temperature for cooking a nice grass-fed ribeye.

Have a great weekend everyone!
