Where I was born chip butties were popular - thick-cut plain old ordinary white bread with chips and lots of salt and vinegar on them.

Where I lived previously it was a bread roll with chips - same idea though.

Now, Joy, where I live (guess where), it's stotties with chips, salt and vinegar.

Whichever way you have it a chip butty with salt and vinegar is great (but only occasionally!).

It's my thread that's missing - where is it? I spoke about chip butties in various forms - with lashings of salt and vinegar.

What's wrong with thick-cut white bread, with bread rolls or with stotties - all containing chips with salt and vinegar?

Delicious.
