Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Rufus1949]

You know what they say, the family that eats chip butties together…

I made my chips in the same way that I have the last couple years, like British roast potatoes (“roasties”). They always turn out great, but I will say, it’s a lot of work/time for something that I end up scarfing down so quickly.

I did switch it up with the bread this year, opting for thick sliced (but still inexpensive) white bread instead of a bun. It was great, possibly the best chip butty I’ve made! (Using more butter than I had in previous years probably didn’t hurt, either.)

I was tempted to overpay for another Dandelion & Burdock off Amazon like I did last year, but even Amazon didn’t have them this year, so I went with a Mexican Coke. Just like they do in Yorkshire…

The girls both loved their chip butties! Scout had a bit of trouble keeping hers together, but they both ate the whole thing.

Happy Yorkshire Day, Guardians!

Outstanding, bringing the next generation into this weirdness.

Wow! Well done team! Those chip butties look fantastic Barrett

That's great to hear my friend Happy Yorkshire Day pal

Happy Yorkshire Day!

I had to improvise a bit . Accuse me not of suffering the Dunning-Kruger effect as I'm entirely aware that I know nothing about chip butties and am certain that rather than improving the formula, I'm merely performing a ham-fisted culinary tragi-comedy!

Without further ado...

I had to do this clandestinely while my GF was teaching an online anger management class to a bunch of people ordered by the court to attend. She has a thing against me eating bread and while she may be an anger management coach, she generally uses none of the skills she teaches others in her dealings with me. I'm just lucky I guess.

Once her class started, I grabbed my ingredients and some surly Sheffield lads (and a few well-to-do Americans who were laying around) to help with the heavy lifting!

I don't have deep-frying capabilities, and it's hard to shallow fry thick-cut potatoes so I decided to go with what I know - hash browns. They're fried potatoes, just crispier. I'm always okay with crispier, so I went with it. I shredded a potato on a box grater:

And added them to a hot pan with oil:

While the potatoes were crisping, I toasted a hot dog bun (only white bread in the house... remember - mildly frightening anti-bread GF) and slathered it in organic grass-fed butter.

After the gratuitous buttering, I drained my "chips," assembled the sandwich, and hit the whole thing with a splash of vinegar and a sprinkle of grey Celtic salt. I poured myself a cup of "Proper Strong" Yorkshire Tea (instead of "Proper Strong," the American packaging says "Let's have a proper brew!") and dug in!

Halfway through, I realized I should have made two of them! Good eatin'!

P.S. - About halfway through the process, my GF stuck her head out of the room and hollered "What are you cooking??" I replied "Just some hash browns, honey - want some?"

Fantastic! Cool pics too I once got a chip butty made up in a small neighbourhood place in Barcelona. I got weird looks too, by the end of the week everybody was eating them!

 

[mitch13]

I was surprised to see that chippy had a vegan menu Charlie! Didn't seem to interfere with the chips though! I bought a steak pie for my Yorkshire Day tea, but I am still full from the chip butty I had at 11.30am!

You have to cater for them these days. Kristy sells a lot of in house made lentil patties and veg pastas. Has a yoga mob she caters for fussy.

Growing up, we had dripping pots in the fridge, you would pour the hot oil in, had a strainer on top, it would solidify for next use.

At a later point in my career with the state of Missouri, my agency mandated that everybody take anger management training. I told them I didn't need the training because I was already angry with management

Thanks, Bob! Two essential skills!

Now I've just got to figure out the rest of them...

You do realise that those aren't Yorkshire accents?

Not really, but I would guess that they were all making an effort to sound like the Robert Hardy version of All creatures Great and Small, without having the time/money/interest to work with a dialect coach.

Happy Yorkshire Day! Much like last year, I confused the daylights out of my local Five Guys burger place by asking for fries and a plain bun. They serve malt vinegar there so at least there’s that. Anyways, I got my weird looks from the crew and walked out with the makings of a chip butty. One day I’d like to try an authentic one but for now, this is pretty good.

Cut in half for “presentation” with a lambfoot knife of course!

Yeah, I don't have a problem with it really, even if I take the piss a bit

Growing up, we had dripping pots in the fridge, you would pour the hot oil in, had a strainer on top, it would solidify for next use.

We had a dripping tin, no strainer though, it was the colour of tan shoe polish, and full of burnt, black bits!

Looking good Steve

Beautifully done Patrick!

Thank you it was a process but a fun one, especially the last 10 seconds it took to eat it!

Just finished lunch. I improvised and used hot dog buns for bread. I must say they were really good. I think malt vinegar really makes the difference !

I love hot dog buns, great improvisation!

Okay, I pulled the tater from the tater bin, peeled it and sliced long thick steak size "chips". Fried em in a deep fryer to a golden brown and covered em in kosher salt while they were still hot and wet with cooking oil. Laid a thick slice of crafted white bread and covered it with the salty chips. After that I covered the chips with a few good size dollops of real butter and capped it off with another slice of bread. Plated this masterpiece and garnished it with proper breakfast sides of eggs and extra hot homemade sausage. It's fit to eat Jack.

That could pass for fine dining. Nice!

Very cool that you shared the fun with the family, it would have been a dream to get a chip butty when I was a kid.

Thanks Jack

A gentleman's presentation. Nice HHB.

Thank you kindly

I also had a beef sarnie.

 

[btb01]

I just unpacked my satchel, and discovered that I've been carrying round an extra camera all day! York was fun, I had a very nice chip butty, a couple of pints, visited a few antique shops, and even bought myself a new flat cap, absolutely identical to my existing cap! There are a lot of old independent shops in York, many housed in buildings from the 14th and 15th centuries. When I spotted half-price Harris Tweed caps in a gentleman's outfitters, which has been there since 1946, I couldn't resist a bargain I hope everyone else is enjoying Yorkshire Day, still another 6 1/2 hours of it left, to get your giveaway entries in

Sounds like you had a nice day, Jack. Can’t go wrong with a half-price flat cap!

At the chip shop for lunch.

Bob, I’m envious that you have a local chip shop that will not only sell you a chip butty, but also stocks D&B!

I was the very first customer at Mr Chippy, close to York's old Shambles market. I was surprised to be greeted by name, and figured I must know the Head Fryer from somewhere else. When his assistant turned out to also be called Jack, it made more sense, as I don't think he could see over the fryer! The chips were the first out of the fat (beef dripping), and delicious





I neglected to take a photo of the establishment, so have filched this one online (I was sat to the right of the entrance)

Looks great, Jack! They definitely don’t skimp on the chips, do they? I would’ve stuffed a few more into my own chip butty, but I slightly underestimated how many I would need for three butties so I had to be a bit conservative (admittedly more so with the girls sandwiches than my own…)

While I’m far from an expert, I will say that my one criticism of the video you posted a few days ago was when the guy said to add one layer of chips. I say pile ‘em on!

I was surprised to see that chippy had a vegan menu Charlie! Didn't seem to interfere with the chips though! I bought a steak pie for my Yorkshire Day tea, but I am still full from the chip butty I had at 11.30am!

Mmm, vegan “fish.”

Nice to see that Leeds isn't the only Yorkshire town with crazy people!

He’s fit right in at the Leeds’ Thursday Market!

Okay, I pulled the tater from the tater bin, peeled it and sliced long thick steak size "chips". Fried em in a deep fryer to a golden brown and covered em in kosher salt while they were still hot and wet with cooking oil. Laid a thick slice of crafted white bread and covered it with the salty chips. After that I covered the chips with a few good size dollops of real butter and capped it off with another slice of bread. Plated this masterpiece and garnished it with proper breakfast sides of eggs and extra hot homemade sausage. It's fit to eat Jack.

Looks tasty, Dwight! I will say I’m slightly surprised you didn’t figure out a way to make a smoked chip butty.

That’s a pretty good idea! Five Guys has great fries, and while they might be a bit thin to really be considered chips, I bet it tasted pretty good!
