Every time I see the word poutine I think of boudin.

HURRRGGGHHHH!! No wonder that shit is trayf. God damn.

Chip butties are delicious, exactly what you need when you've got some left over chips from giraffe and chips or whatever.
It also works if you put crisps on a normal sandwich, particularly chicken.

Is a Chip Butty where you butter two slices of bread and then use french fries as a filling for a butter and french fry sandwich?

A sandwich made with french fries/chips. I cannot believe this hasn't yet caught on in America.

I just don't see how bread would improve french fries. And don't they get soggy crowded together like that?

But Doc is right about potato chips on a sandwich. I used to eat them on tuna giraffe sandwiches all the time. I stopped when I was no longer able to delude myself that they had no calories if you snuck them in that way, but otherwise I highly recommend it.

[Doc]

Yes Linnea, that is exactly what it is. For all your pitiful american attempts at obesity the english had you beat at pure, coronary hardening grease from the word go.

W: It's not just the bread you understand, there must be copious amounts of butter on there too (and/or gravy if you like), hence 'Butty'. The warm greasyness improves the flavour and the texture and makes it far easier to consume your fries in bulk.
Really they should also be the thick style chips (fries) not the skinny crispy kind.

I have mostly hated tuna giraffe sammiches. I think they're gross. But they are vastly improved by the addition of potato chips within the sandwich.

Chip butty's can be found on many a local pub menu, but I've never ordered one.  Even at my drunkest, I've always opted to wait for poutine rather than have a butty.  I tend to think the combination of starch between starch doesn't work for my pallet.  I mean, I'd never eat a fettuccine Alfredo sandwich or a fried rice sandwich.  I'm not much a bread fan.  Really I think the chip butty is another example of using bread as a vehicle to transport contents to one's mouth, rather than as an actually enhancement of the eating experience.

Ms. Nabu and I went to a "Scottish" pub with her brither and his wife once. One of us ordered Scotch eggs and we all tried them and more-or-less enjoyed them. Much later I described the event to a co-worker from Scotland. With obvious incredulity, she said "you aren't supposed to eat those".

I suddenly feel compelled to inject into this conversation the fact that where the Technical Staff grew up in Fall River, Mass., a local delicacy is the chow mein sandwich.

If you wish to experience this, you can buy a local chow mein mix
here and prepare an authentic sandwich according to the directions here.

Not that I am suggesting that this is a good idea or anything but God, I love the internet.

[wombat]

Addendum: The Technical Staff says that the Fall River delicacy that really belongs in this thread is a sandwich of french fries and chourico, which is a Portuguese sausage.  He says you don't put grease all over the bread, so I'm guessing that one of these run about neck and neck with the chip butty for fattiness.

[pmcd9]

If chourico is anything like chorizo the Mexican sausage there is no need for extra grease because the sausage is pure grease already.

[Doc]

Apparently a local delicasy in victoria is a 'meat pie floater'. This is a meat pie in a bowl of pea soup. I've never seen this and I am kind of afraid to believe it exists.

[wombat]

Tech Staff insists there is no sausage on Earth greasier than Portuguese chourico but when pressed, admits to not being familiar with the Mexican version.

And Doc, congratulations, that is one of the most disgusting messageboard posts ever.

[pmcd9]

I once tried to cook a chorizo sausage in a skillit and it became liquified.
