Talk:Chip butty

message: It would seem that at every edit, this article becomes more and more watered down in content. Some of the early entries are far more powerful in their description of the article and the (social) relevance around it. Maybe we need to bulk it back up a bit?RichardLowther 17:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Real chip butty.
A chip butty should only be made with awful supermarket white bread, lots of butter, as many chips piled inside as possible, and after it is assembled it absolutely must be leaned on and crushed down hard to form the chips inside into a homogeneous mass!
I think this article really should be 'Chip sandwich', "butty" is really a localisation from North West UK. --BMT 18:54, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I'm not really trying to change your respective ways of life! However "butty" IS a localisation and Wikipedia provides an international view i.e.WP:CSB. This can be seen by comparing Butty and Sandwich --BMT 12:20, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm from Liverpool and have heard butty used for all types of sandwiches. My father (originally from Bradford, North East England) had never heard the term when he moved to the North West in the 1950's. It's more widely known now, I think.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.245.72.35 (talk) 14:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm from the South of England and to me "chip" and "butty" are inseparable in this context: I've never heard the term "chip sandwich". This doesn't mean the latter is wrong or that there are not parts of the world that enjoy chip sandwiches but I suspect that the idea is more likely to have spread from the North of England and that therefore the original term is not "localization" but that "sandwich", if anything, is the adaptation. "Barm" (above) may also be an original but where I've often heard of "butty" used by bemused tourists outside the UK I've never heard "barm". IMO "chip butty" deserves its separate WP article because WP is here to explain these odd terms...internationally.--Jobowo (talk) 18:31, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A barm cake is the Northwest name for a flat bun properly made with yeast from brewing (barm). (To Yorkshire people, this may be a tea cake.) Chip sandwich? Never heard of it. Chip butty (or chip barm in parts of the NW UK) are the terms. A chip butty can be made with sliced bread, but a chip barm has to be a barm cake. Also found are sugar butty and conny-onny butty, neither of which are called sandwiches either. Peridon (talk) 18:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Is it at ALL worth noting that the chip butty was a mega-powerup in the video game Earthworm Jim 2, or is that absolutely useless trivia which has no place in the article whatsoever?  Just throwin' that out there.  ~ Joseph Collins [U|T|C] 05:40, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say that's the sort of information that might have a place in the video game's article (not sure about that, depends how important it is within the game, I suppose), but not in this article. After all, we don't have Pacman references in a half dozen fruit articles ;-) --Icarus (Hi!) 09:27, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Is "white bread" something else in the UK, because this is very clearly rye bread?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.124.135.125 (talk) 01:14, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no idea if it is rye bread, but it is quite clearly white, and was when the above comment was made. I checked. - Roxy  the grumpy dog. wooF 15:34, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

message: Should the first sentence somehow clarify in text that “chips” is being used in the UK English sense to refer to fried potato (“french fries” in US English) rather than potato crisps? As an American reader, the lead alone (devoid of other context, such as the image, or the UK-specific term “butty”) strikes me as ambiguous. I see an IP editor recently removed “” without explanation. Would something like “” be appropriate to add back? RoxySaunders (talk · contribs) 18:22, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd just restore "French fries". You're correct that the specific ambiguity here screams for clarity. Largoplazo (talk) 19:10, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Done, here.  I've put this back several times already but other editors keep wandering in and changing it.  — Mudwater (Talk) 22:39, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably something to do with the fact that french fries are too skinny a cut of chip to be considered useful filling for a chip butty. SignpostMarv (talk) 21:25, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Chips used in a chip butty are not a type of french fry... they are chips.  It is cultural appropriation for people from outside the British Isles to tell British people what their food stuffs are called or what they are a category of.  Stop reverting the changes and stop imposing US English onto a British food.  I've made a neutral change that chips are a thick-cut potato not to be confused with french fries.  Unless you're suggesting that US people make sandwiches with french fries... I assume not, but if they did do make sandwiches with French Fries do they call it a "chip butty".  Unless they do then there should be no reference to french fries in this article other than disambiguation - which is the edit I have made. Marlarkey (talk) 13:02, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
