foster461 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Dont know what took them so long to figure this out. I introduced my future wife (American) to a door-stop sized chip butty in Newby Bridge during the 1982 Lakes tour. Now Burger King has introduced the Chip Butty, a patty-less sandwich with french fries, mayo and ketchup wedged in between two buns. The inspiration behind the new sandwich came from a happy "culinary accident" with one of the chain's chefs, according to a message Burger King New Zealand posted to its Facebook page earlier this month. With that accident, in came the idea for the Chip Butty and Chip Butty with bacon. It's only available to New Zealand customers right now for $2 ($1.27 USD), and it's unclear if it will make its way to other markets in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Hi Stan, does that mean that BK will go down in history as having actually invented the chip butty and have the intellectual rights to it. What next - deep fried Mars bars, sugar sandwich etc etc. Roger Edited February 23, 2020 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Perhaps we should start a Twitter-storm about 'cultural appropriation' of a uniquely British culinary tradition? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Back to the thread, I am sure that we are all thinking that a Chip Buttie is Commonplace these days,, now I wish we had them at Boarding school !! Conrad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those were great too and I still occasionally make one. I grew up in a poor working class family and as a kid a typical dinner would be an HP sauce sandwich and an Oxo cube in a mug of hot water. And I wonder why I'm only 5' 6" tall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Burgess Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I don't think BK will ever get the commercial rites to a chip butty. its long been the in the Sheffield United anthem. Sung to John Denvers' Annies song for the uninitiated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Chip burger? Why? BECAUSE IT'S VEGAN! (as long it's vegan mayo and ketchup, that is) They're in competiton with the Greggs' vegan suasage roll! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
