Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

A sammitch made of only fries? Oh I'm definitely going to try this with my own spin.
Less is more my friend! :D
So I looked up this culinary masterpiece and it says that it is commonly served with ketchup or brown sauce. Brown sauce kind of seems like what we call steak sauce (which is delicious) but I could be wrong. Is anyone familiar with brown sauce and is there something comparable in the states?
Unfortunately, you will come across a lot of rubbish about chip butties on the internet. In my opinion, the best way to have them is to keep them simple - buttered white bread, or what we call a breadcake in Yorkshire, you can even use margarine rather than butter. Plenty of good, thick-cut chips, and perhaps a little salt. Some add malt vinegar, or Henderson's Relish in Sheffield, a few add ketchup. Brown sauce is pretty rare in my experience, I've never even seen anyone add brown sauce to a chip butty, though I'm sure some do :rolleyes: Strong 'Builders Tea' or beer make good accompaniments, or some Dandelion & Burdock ;) :thumbsup:

Thanks Jack! This will be fun.

Malt vinegar is a favorite. Sounds like a winner.

Margarine instead of butter? Heresy

You'll love it Rick! :D Obviously, most folks are going to go for butter, and the internet chefs make a big deal about it, but in England people don't really make chip butties at home, they get them from the fish & chip shop, where they use margarine. And they're still the best chip butties! :D :thumbsup:

I have an old Italian friend called Alessia. She was born in Turin, and lives in Barcelona, but her family is rooted in Sicily. She's beautiful, intelligent, an amazing cook, and she's a lot of fun. I was in Barcelona one time, and it was May Day. We had a fantastic time with our friends, and ended up dancing until dawn, on the beach, at the Gypsy flamenco festival. As dawn came, we were sat eating fresh churros, with hot chocolate, and Alessia turned me, and said, in her impeccable English, "You know, sometimes, what you want is a really greasy English chip butty?!" 😂 I'm just having chilli, while not so secretly longing for the same! :rolleyes:🤣:thumbsup:

Ok so it was lunch time (a little early but who cares). I had this stuff around and wanted to give it a shot.

Plain old white bread fish bun toasted with Margarine. Regular fries.

I wasn't going to fire up the fryer and not make a piece of fish, so that's why there's a fish too.

Delicious.

This is not an attempt at an early entry. Just a hungry dude at lunchtime who had never heard of a chip butty before.
