Happy Yorkshire Day, fellow buttie-heads!

That looks tasty Jer

Good morning Guardians. Still lying low and taking it easy. I will attempt some light exercise today at our gym. My photo shows some of my favorite Bourbon but to be honest I haven't been allowed to have any so I have been sharing it with friends who happen by for a visit.

Hope the gym was OK Bill Very kind of you to share your bourbon

Sorry, I didn't have time to take a picture according to the required criteria.
Just for fun a lambfoot with the lunch dish duck breast with honey and balsamic vinegar sauce and fried potatoes.
Good day to you all, happy Yorkshire Day.

That sounds tasty Great photos as always

Happy Yorkshire Day, Guardians!

If that lady could make a chip butty in her car with Whataburger fries, I figured I had no excuses. I went to the store, looking for frozen chips to put in the air fryer. "Steak fries" are what I think are the closest thing here in The States, but I couldn't find any. They had shoestring potatoes, crinkle cut sweet potatoes, all manner of shapes of tater tots, but no steak fries. I wanted to go traditional this first time.

I settled on sliced new potatoes, roasted until crispy. Not traditional chips, but I did get the good butter and Hendersons, so I think I did alright. Paired with a sausage and some fresh made cole slaw, it was a fabulous lunch:

I've been the beneficiary of Jack's generosity too many times to enter the Yorkshire Day Giveaway for myself, but if it's okay, I'd like to enter for @Crazy Canuck . It seems fitting, in light of his father's coincidental butty experience:

There's obviously been a Yorkshire Day run on steak fries Rachel! Nice work

Happy Yorkshire Day, my friend.

Thanks pal, took you a pic!

Good Morning Guardians

You're rich John! Cool pic

Indeed Happy Yorkshire Day. Here’s my chip butty. I used like a 12 grain bread to help make up for the thick frosting of kerry gold butter and mayonnaise slathered atop each slice. Then I dusted it with some garlic salt and pepper. I didn’t have any HB sauce on hand so I used some A1 sauce very sparingly. Then as mentioned I used the trifecta of fried and frozen potato products…tater tots, wrinkle cut and waffle cut pommes frites. It came out great. I think what I liked the most was the butter flavor cut through the mayo like my lambsfoot knife through this butty and then the sublime taste and different textures of the potato products partied in my mouth. I have always been a catsup and french fry guy. I might go mayo now. Thumbs up on the chip butty.

A culinary treat! And a great pic!

Happy Yorkshire Day Jack, and all Guardians celebrating too

Thanks Mike, I love your photo my friend

That looks great @r8shell ! Appreciate the thought as well.

I don't know why, but we had never tried a Chip Butty before Decided it was time to correct that this weekend, and participate in Jack's challenge.

Christina went to the grocery store on a special mission, with a really short list. Two russet potatoes and a bag of soft Portuguese rolls

We've had an old fryer in the cupboard from my parents that we've never used, but figured we'd see if it still worked. It's probably at least 30 years old, and hasn't been used in 29 Filled it up to the line with some vegetable oil, cut up the spuds into nice thick chips and gave 'er a whirl!

Look at these beauties

Slathered way too much butter on the rolls and piled on more chips than we could safely stack. Added some Yorkshire flair courtesy of Jack for a photo op

Had some Hendersons and Ketchup standing ready if needed, but we both ended up eating it as is. Gotta say, that Chip Butty was wonderful, dripping butter and all

All in all, we learned a couple of things. We really like Chip Butties, and we have a working deep fryer

Wow! Fantastic Mike, that looks great, I'm glad you both enjoyed your first chip butties Wonderful effort and photos

Happy Yorkshire Day all. I'm fixing to whip up a chip butty.View attachment 1887016

Happy Yorkshire Day Dwight That's a quality composition in your inimitable style my friend

Here's a Dixie Land Chip Butty. Complete with added bacon gravy and homemade biscuits. For the athlete in training... My entry is for Greg @TXGatorbait .View attachment 1887071

That looks very tasty

I think I should have done a California Chip Butty, complete with tofu, bean sprouts, and avocado.

LOL! Maybe next year!

Chip butties with sweet potato fries (and mayo and HP Sauce), homemade peach/blueberry/banana shake, Yorkshire Tea, hard cider, and some salad to pay for my crimes.

Not an entry, so l'll join @r8shell and nominate @Crazy Canuck

This article made me laugh last year, and still does: The Chip Butty is the Deranged Nonsensical Sandwich of My Dreams

The Guardian has a good Chip Butty write up too: How to eat Chip butties

And of course, someone has to link to The Chip Butty Song

Happy Yorkshire Day all!

That looks great Tyson It actually looks pretty healthy too! Thanks for including those great links buddy, love that first article (the second is well-written, controversial, but with a few gems of wisdom)! I hope you and your wife enjoyed Yorkshire Day as much as you did last year

Happy Yorkshire Day JackA slow start, but things have shaped up nicely for you. Two fisted Lambfoot knives are quite choice.

Good as gold.

Outstanding.

A great twist.

Happy Yorkshire Day Guardians.

Thank you Harvey, Happy Yorkshire Day to you and all our fellow celebrants An excellent composition there my friend

Happy Yorkshire Day! Some fine looking buttys (butties? Buttye? )


Thank you, John I'm honored

Attractive photo Mike, your shark needs a chip butty to dive into!

Happy Yorkshire Day Guardians, and thank you for helping me to celebrate, I'm very touched I hope you're enjoying yourself as much as I am Unfortunately, I arrived home to find a problem with my internet access (which turned out to be Windows based ), which has delayed my posting by several hours. I'll post some photos shortly though

It was beautiful weather here today, sunny, and in the mid to high 70's I set off early for Charlie's cafe, and sat out on the pavement, in the sunshine, with a strong coffee, and a croissant, and when I was joined by my friend Matt, and his lad Cillian, I had the same again Parking is expensive in the city centre, so we boarded a bus for the short ride into town, and then had a pleasant stroll to the Royal Armouries museum...

We went inside, and had a look round a couple of the galleries, but then went outside to the Tilt Yard to watch a display of horsemanship and riding skills in the form of an Elizabethan tournament. The contest included displays of skill with the sword, lance, and spear; massacring cabbages, sticking artificial pigs, spearing gloves, and carrying off rings!

Great pctures capturing your special day, Jack.

 

[Jack Black]

After our time at the Tilt Yard, we had planned to re-commence our tour of the museum, but Cillian was hungry, so we walked back along the river, and dined on chip butties, which Matt and I washed down with a couple of pints of fine Leeds-brewed ale

We had a look round the market, where Cillian found a smashing jacket for a fiver, and then we headed back to mine, for Yorkshire tea and ginger beer, and, at Cillian's request, an examination of some sharp and shiny objects from my own private collection

 

[Jack Black]

Great pictures capturing your special day, Jack.

Thank you for helping me celebrate it Harvey

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks again everyone, and thank you to everyone who had a go at making a chip butty I'll do the draw tomorrow, but there are still 4 more hours of Yorkshire Day left for anyone else who wants to enter (be sure to read the rules please)

 

[echoscout]

oops

 

[JohnDF]

You're rich John!

Thanks, Jack.

LOL! Maybe next year!

Haha... Not likely.

You can't "miss" with that picture.

Oh ya, now we are talking fun to watch...
Glad you ended up having a fun Yorkshire Day.

Those are surprisingly to me short lances.
Looks like a great time.

Last year on Yorkshire Day, I made a chip butty with frozen steak fries that I cooked in the oven. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t exactly great, either. So this year I thought I’d try to do something a little more from scratch.

My idea was to try and make chips in the same way that I’ve made British roast potatoes (sometimes referred to as “roasties” if I’m not mistaken). I cut the potatoes into thick fries instead of cubes, parboiled them in salted water, drained them, roughed them up a little by shaking them in the pot, then cooked them in a hot oven in a roasting pan with a healthy (or perhaps not so healthy) layer of oil that had been preheated in the oven while the potatoes were boiling.

The only downside to this plan, which I sort of expected going into it, was the roughing up of the partially-cooked potatoes. It’s a necessary step, because the fluffy edges it creates are what give you that extra crispiness when you roast them, but doing so with the longer cut potatoes resulted in many of them breaking in half. Not the end of the world, but I didn’t get quite as many full-sized chips as I’d wanted.

Once my chip-roasties were golden brown and crispy, I drained them on some paper towels, salted them and then they went straight onto a well-buttered bun. The extra effort was definitely worth it; this chip butty was much better than the one I made last year. The chip-roasties were super crispy on the outside, but still soft and fluffy on the inside. Very tasty!

Having also been a recipient of Jack’s generosity more times than I deserve (including winning a recent GAW that gave me the HHB in the photo), I’ll enter on behalf of Todd bigfish64 .

Happy Yorkshire Day, Guardians!

I took the pic in the Royal Armouries gift shop! Thanks mate

That looks like it takes a lot of skill

They have full international tournaments there, some skilled riders I've posted photos from a couple of previous events, which should turn up on a search

Happy Yorkshire Day!!!

Yay! Thanks Taylor, that's the epitome of what a Hartshead Barlow should be

Those are surprisingly to me short lances.
Looks like a great time.

The jousting lances are MUCH bigger, those are for picking up a fallen glove at a gallop, and snatching the hanging rings, also at a gallop. I noticed they're not using actual gloves anymore, but rather a foam representation!

Wow Barrett, fantastic effort! Looks like it really paid off my friend, well done

Guys, please read the rules in terms of nominating others please

Guys, please read the rules in terms of nominating others please

Sorry, Jack... I guess I missed that part.

Attractive photo Mike, your shark needs a chip butty to dive into!

Thanks Jack

Ok, ok, I was hungry anyway

Brought to you by Catch-as-Catch-Can Productions

Rummaging through the freezer it was either crinkle cuts or tots. The crinkle cuts seemed closer to chips. No HP sauce, so substituted A1. No buns = heel of bread.
I didn't do anything fancy with the 'taters. Just thew them in a deep fryer.

Not too authentic, but still tasty



Since John JohnDF so graciously entered me, I don't need to be entered again. I've completely lost track of the who's in, and who doesn't want to be in, and quite frankly, even the rules...so if there is still time and this qualifies me to be in, I'd like for Jack to use it as a "dealer's choice" to enter someone he wants to enter. Or not.

I've been reading Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley novels. Barbara, a main character, is a fan of chip butties (and every other kind of junk food). It was fun to actually try one

Can't wait for next year's Yorkshire Day!

 

[Jack Black]

Erosion everywhere!

There was a time when a lady couldn't drop a glove without some feller on a horse galloping past, soaking her in mud, and then offering her back her speared glove from his short lance, and expecting marriage in return! So they went over to the the foam ones

Sorry, Jack... I guess I missed that part.

No worries John, still a couple of hours to go, but I didn't want you to waste your nomination. Tell Todd to get the fryer out!

Thanks Jack
