Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Happy Yorkshire Day. I enjoyed my chip butty. I started with Potato Buns.

Then I buttered them up with the Kerry Gold. I should have put way more butter on.

When the tots were cooked up I sorted them for size, color and crispiness. Only the best tots for a butty.

Then I add the tots to the Potato Buns. You must stack them just so. Luckily I watch Engineering Disasters on the TV so that was easy for me.

Delicious…I kinda wanted a deep fried Cadbury Egg for dessert but it messed up my air fryer.

Interesting chip butty Nice flock of

British Food Depot carries many varieties ( on sale ).

I’ve looked at a few of those places before, but by the time I thought of it this year, Amazon would’ve been the only one who could’ve gotten it to me in time.

When I was in my early to mid teens, during the skool holidays, me and my mates would be down atthe 'Two Steps' chippy every day for a chip butty!

That looks like the real deal kind of place, Jack. The chip shop we went to in Weymouth, the one that was shown in that Anthony Bourdain video you shared, was good, but probably a little posh for a chip shop, what with their crockery and silverware and whatnot.

I wonder how the Two Steps got its name…

Yeah, it made a nice change Barrett Those caps are over £40 now, so I thought I'd grab a spare!

Gotta save some money where you can these days.

Thanks mate Yeah, what was that bloke on about, one layer of chips?! The rule is, you cram as many in as you cam! Usually, when you get one in a chip shop, there's about 3 times as many chips as you could get on a butty. The trick is to eat just the right amount, and cram as many into the butty as you can, without it collapsing or falling apart!

I’m glad my way of thinking was in line with the official one. It just seems like common sense that the proper ratio of chips to bread is as many as you can get in there!

I thought Barrett would have been all over that film reference!

I probably should know it, but if I do, it’s not coming to me.

Sounds fantastic Me and my Ex once got a train to London, had breakfast in a favourite cafe, and got the train back (about 6 hours of travelling)!

I’ve done that a few times with different places. In college a friend and I drove from Fayetteville, AR to Topeka, KS (about 4.5 hours one way) to eat at a Buffalo wing place we’d been to on our way to Colorado with his family a few years before. Less than a year later they opened one in Fayetteville.

Right after we moved to Minnesota, Julie, Eleanor and I took a weekend trip to Sioux Falls, SD because it was the closest location of a favorite restaurant from back in Arkansas (the same one I’ve shared about here a few times; thankfully they’ve since added a location in Mankato, MN, which is still an hour away, but a lot closer than South Dakota).

Another tasty looking (if unorthodox) chip butty.

Delicious…I kinda wanted a deep fried Cadbury Egg for dessert but it messed up my air fryer.

Yeah, I’m not sure a battered Cadbury Creme Egg would work so well in an air fryer. You probably need what one BBQ guy I’ve seen on YouTube calls an “airless fryer.”

LOL! I'd suggest a Yorkshire Pudding competition, but that's a hard one

You did one year, as a bonus or alternative to the chip butty, and a few of us gave it a go. I was surprised, mine actually turned out pretty good! But it definitely feels like more of a commitment than the chip butty.

Happy Yorkshire Day! No chip butties here, but some Yorkshire tea.

Thanks again for helping me celebrate Yorkshire Day Guardians, I hope it was fun I'll try to post up some pics tomorrow, and announce the winner of the Chip Butty Challenge of course Still 45 minutes of Yorkshire Day left, but I'm off to hit the hay

One of my most missed/craved items, a proper Yorkshire Pudding. I've tried to make it a few times over the years, and while good just not the same. Oh, and an Old Peculier....

All these chip Butty's for Yorkie Day look fantastic. Unfortunately my larder is empty and the last thing i feel like is a chip butty, so i will stick to admiring all the Guardians work.

Good to hear you hold forth Leon!

Looks delicious. That KEOWN lamb makes me want to "skip the light fandango and turn some cartwheels cross the floor..."

Make sure you film that and share it with the group.

Bonus pic of the day, chip butty leftovers! Pile on as many chips as you can… check.

Thanks, Steve!

This place looks like the one down from the base I live on.

At the chip shop for lunch.

Evening everyone it’s taken me a few days to catch up on this thread.

In the mail today we recieved a lovely card from Jack Black . Shown here stuck to the fridge with a Yorkshire pudding recipe - which is as close as we will get to Yorkshire pudding today (high was 99° F today - we're not cranking the oven to high!). Thanks for the card, Jack!

However, we did make some chip butties. Bread, ghee (clarified butter, since butter no longer plays nicely with me), crosscut fries (it's what we had on hand), Henderson's. Since we're Californians in California, we had a steak salad and a fried tomato as the sides, then washed it down with Yorkshire's own Sam Smith Imperial Stout.

 

[Jack Black]

This guy’s Instagram account is another that regularly shows up in my feed. The algorithm must have me flagged for “enjoys sandwich content.”

I do enjoy his posts, so I decided to see if he had tried a chip butty at some point. (Fair warning, Jack, he does try to improve on it at the end — something he does in most of his videos — but at least he gives the original a go first.)

I like the added 'pints' factor! I was pleased to see a Leeds restaurant get some recognition by this guy yesterday

LOVE IT! Happy Yorkshire day to all!

Thought about you when I was in York yesterday mate

Cool place!

Fantastic that you can still visit that place today and relive your childhood memories!

It's a shame they hadn't opened, when I took that pic. I don't know what it's like now, but when I was a kid, the queue snaked out the door, all day. British fish and chip shops have a very specific layout, with a high counter, containing salt and vinegar, and wooden forks. They were smaller in those days, and the Two Steps is a typical size, just a terraced house, with the business being done in what would otherwise be the living room. The frying area took up most of the space, with room for a single, or sometimes double, line of people. They were run by families, who lived at the back, and upstairs, in the remainder of the house

The fascinating story of Sheffield's oldest fish and chip shop, which is one of the world's longest-running

Fish and chips is one of Britain’s greatest contributions to the world, and few places do it better than Two Steps in Sheffield.

I wonder how the Two Steps got its name…

Yeah, on a back-street of a (once) working-class Sheffield suburb, so you wouldn't come across it accidentally. When I was a kid, there were at least 4 other chippies close by, but you had to feel sorry for the owners. The one opposite always seemed to be empty, one closed, and 2 became Chinese takeaways.

Yeah, Yorkshire Pudding is definitely an art. I reckon most people here probably buy them frozen!

Yeah, I think you really need a hot Yorkshire Range to make great Yorkshire pudding - and a good recipe, care, and experience of course!

LOL! Great to see you here Gary I was thinking about you, and your missus, when I was in York yesterday. Naturally, I was going to go in The Blue Bell, but I thought I'd go in Gary's ( Peregrin ) favourite York pub, The Maltings, and get a few pics for him. I hope your wife is better now

I'm glad the card made it mate That looks like a nice California/Yorkshire repast!

Good morning Guardians, yesterday was Yorkshire Day, today is just August 2nd However, it's a bright sunny day here in Yorkshire, and I think that's set to contnue over the weekend I still have a bunch of photos to edit and re-size, and last night Postimages was playing up, but I'll try and get some posted asap, and announce the winner of the Yorkshire Day Chip Butty Challenge, of course! Have a great day Guardians

Daniel, this one is about 1/2 hour from a joint base...McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

I certainly missed this yesterday, YorkshireMan heroically diving into a giant, gravy-filled Yorkshire pudding!
