Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

Thanks for helping me to celebrate Yorkshire Day Guardians, I'm really touched I woke up at a very early hour today, and found my trip to Ilkley, with a fair bit of walking, and standing about, pretty tiring. Unfortunately, tomorrow I have a busy day, so I'm afraid I'm not going to have time to edit my photos until Sunday, but hopefully I can get them posted then

Welp, unfortunately not a chip butty in sight at my house today. Alas, Happy Yorkshire Day anyway Guardians. Properly equipped with my lamb and tweed flat cap generously sent by Jack.

Happy Yorkshire Day Jeremy, your cap looks a lot cleaner than mine!

Thanks Jack, it was delicious!

Great to hear Pat, well done

I added a bit of garlic to the butter, called for by my Sicilian Genes!!View attachment 2940000

One of my grandfathers came from Sciacca on the southern coast.
Garlic is always called for, when available.

Wow, what did you think David? It looks great from here

It was good. I guess I should have worded that differently. It wasn't my first of ever. It was the first one for today. I plan on eating another one shortly

Happy Yorkshire Day.

Happy Yorkshire Day, Guardians! Hope everyone’s having a good one!

I made and enjoyed my chip butty (well, butties, as Scout and Eleanor each got one, as well) fairly early today. I intended on posting earlier, as well, but time got away from me prepping for a busy weekend, and I’m just now getting around to making my post. The chip butty was, as always, delicious.

No D&B, unfortunately — didn’t even have the option to overpay for a single can on Amazon, as they seem to no longer carry it, and I don’t have the foresight to order some from one of the US-based British grocers — but a Mexican Coke did the job well enough.

Not an entry in the giveaway for me, Jack, as I’ve been fortunate enough in the past (I think I even won the Yorkshire Day GAW once before).

I realized after my chip butty was long gone that a Sheffield-made Lambsfoot would have been a more fitting companion, so here’s a bonus pic. Ceci n’est pas une chip butty.

Continuing on my (third?) annual tradition of confusing the daylights out of my nearby five guys restaurant by asking for the makings of a chip butty. A small fry and a buttered toasted bun. They really don’t know what to think of this, but in the end they always take my money and make my order

Once assembled, I gotta say it has a pretty nice look! Gotta slice in half for presentation right?

A store bought chip butty on this side of the pond!?! Who'd a thunk it There may be hope for us yet

Here it is. Behold. Buttermilk bread slathered with Kerrygold Butter. Copious amounts of salt and pepper diffused with a flourish. Air fry because we’re calorie conscious. Get those cute little tots crispy. Here’s the cooking part. Stack the tots into a pyramid and squish it down. Slice in half with a lambsfoot knife. Take your BP meds. Enjoy.

Not that's a food pyramid I can get on board with
Looks yummy

Tater tots

Good morning Guardians, and once again, Happy Yorkshire Day It's raining here in Leeds, and probably in Ilkley too, which put a bit of a damper/dampener on things At least it's cool enough for me to wear my flat-cap Have a great day Guardians, and enjoy your chip butties

I just noticed I didn't hit 'Post' after typing this up early this morning!

It's lunchtime now!

Fantastic Steve, you look like a proper Yorkshireman! What did you think to the vinegar?

Thank Jack, I love Malt vinegar especially on Fish and Chips and now on Chip Butty's

RALF was terrific at work today, but now I'm switching to Beni for dinner out with the family.

Great shot Steve!

Some folks really take the Chip Butty Challenge seriously! I love that exchange near the start: "This is one of the first times, I don't know if I've ever bought frying oil in my life before, have you?"
"Not in my adult life, no."

Sorry, but click on the link

Jack, I meant to ask if you’d ever tried the chip spice they use in this video. I hadn’t heard of it before so I had to look it up. It’s called “American Chip Spice,” but it’s made in Yorkshire (Hull). Sounds interesting, and they have a “hot” version, too.

Ilkey sounds like it’s full of my people. Lollygaggers. Happy Yorkshire Day. I am planning on a butty for lunch. Took out two of my favorites.

Interesting to see how the color of the Micarta on your GL-24 has changed over time (as Micarta is known to do, of course). I almost didn’t recognize it! (Feels kinda like not recognizing your own child…)

Happy Yorkshire Day Jack.

A chip butty and a lamb samich.

Love that second pic, Bob!

Thanks, Jack.

It's not a butty yet (nor an entry in Jack's generous giveaway) but it is a big pile of chips. Because it's Texas, they are breaded and fried. "Chicken-fried Fries".

Chicken-fried fries! Now I’ve seen everything! (I’d definitely try ‘em.)

I'm already on cholesterol meds , so why not Jack. I have tried deep fried pickles, could not be worse than that!

I’ve had fried pickle spears before, and I’m not a big fan — too much pickle, not enough fried — but fried pickle chips are one of my favorite fried things. These ones are particularly good, especially with their cayenne ranch.

With a lightly toasted bun, and Handmade Fries from the local Fish and Chip shop served in newsprint I begin my first Buttie!! View attachment 2939996
I added a bit of garlic to the butter, called for by my Sicilian Genes!!View attachment 2940000
Added some Worcestershire sauce - fresh out of Henderson's!! View attachment 2940003

Cut it with my Lamb - of course!!!View attachment 2940005

Ready to consume!!!

Delicious!!

Good stuff, Charlie! You’re looking very dapper in your flat cap there!

Gorgeous rosewood,

You have scored some great wood there. Plenty of character.

Happy Yorkshire Day, everyone!

With apologies to Jack, I am afraid I will be unable to meet the criteria for his generous giveaway. I've posted my chip butty efforts in the past and I find it to be a tasty, albeit infrequent treat. I was very much looking forward to making one today but unfortunately, I was shocked to find that we have no potatoes in our pantry! Potatoes are a staple in our household so it was no small surprise to see them missing, and I will be unable to go to the market to pick some up before the holiday expires here shortly.

Still, I would like to make a post to at least join in the spirit of the day and I will have to treat myself to a proper chip butty another day.

Growing up, I was an avid reader (still am, to an extent). I consumed everything I could get my eyes on, for better or worse. My favorite boyhood novels, though, usually centered around wildlife and humanity's beloved canine companions. Owd Bob: The Grey Dog of Kenmuir, otherwise known as Bob, Son of Battle here in the states, was one of my very favorites. Written in 1898 by Alfred Ollivant, it is unique (by today's literature standards) in that the dialogue was written in what is known as the Cumbrian dialect. Though I am no expert in English dialects, or even geography for that matter, it is my understanding that Cumbria is at the very least "Yorkshire-adjacent".

If you have not read it, I highly recommend it. It's the story of two dogs and the characters that surround them. I found it difficult as a boy to decide which hound I loved more, Bob or Red Wull. Despite Red Wull being meaner than the devil, and his owner M'Adam being even worse, there was a sense of tragedy about the pair that evoked some small amount of compassion within my juvenile self.

“In my life I’ve had three friends. Ma mither – and she went; then ma wife” – he gave a great swallow – “and she’s awa’; and I may say they’re the only two human bein’s as ha’ lived on God’s earth in ma time tha iver tied to bear wi me; and Wullie. A man’s mither – a man’s wife – a man’s dog! It’s aften a’ he has in this warld; and the more he prizes them the more like they are to be took from him.”


I've posted this book before. It is the most cherished in my whole library. An 1899 edition, gifted to me by my late brother a few years ago. Pictured with an old friend and an afternoon cup of coffee.

Happy Yorkshire Day!

Thank Jack, I love Malt vinegar especially on Fish and Chips and now on Chip Butty's

Those are the only things I ever use it on, so a bottle lasts a long time!

RALF was terrific at work today, but now I'm switching to Beni for dinner out with the family.

Enjoy your family dinner Jeff

Jack, I meant to ask if you’d ever tried the chip spice they use in this video. I hadn’t heard of it before so I had to look it up. It’s called “American Chip Spice,” but it’s made in Yorkshire (Hull). Sounds interesting, and they have a “hot” version, too.

Interesting you should ask Barrett. Many years ago, screened porch (or @scrteened porch as we knew him then ) very kindly sent me some Tony Cachere's Louisiana Seasoning, which I think is very similar (flavoured salt basically). I use it sparingly, but like the good diners where folks say "Bam!" when they add it, I keep it on my table. I like to use it when roasting potatoes. I can buy chip spice for a fraction of the cost of Tony's, but I'm attached to it now, and I like having it. I'm guessing it'd be the other way round for you Barrett, with Tony's being cheaper? I forget the story about Hull's connection to chip spice, but it's kind of like Henderson's there, everyone has it, and they think the rest of the world doesn't know about it. For the past decade though, it's become a staple of virtually every British fish and chip shop, sitting next to the salt and vinegar on the counter.

One Hull Of A Story: The History Of Chip Spice

Chip Spice, the spiced salt condiment has been part of the culinary landscape of Hull since 1979, when it was introduced by restaurant owner John Science at his innovative burger bar Yankee Burger....

Sorry you didn't get your chip butty Dylan, but that's a wonderful post with 2 great pics Years ago, I had 2 great pals, brothers, who both moved to Sheffield from a small town called Billingham, in Cumbria. I remember, at the time, being quite surprised to learn that they were actually from Yorkshire too, though their accent was distinctly North Eastern. I hope you get to taste another chip butty soon pal

Happy Yorkshire Day Jack! And well done to the Guardians for their butty challenge entries!

Many thanks my friend

Thanks pal !

I'm still hoping to try a deep-fried chip butty at some point!

I wouldn't mate, , ya don't want to end up like Elvis and his deep fried peanut butter & jelly butty's.
