a bunch of brits are attempting to cancel me bc i think a french fry sandwich sounds gross and therefore i hate the poor........... food opinions really inflame people into making Wild statements
chip butty, pasty parm, pattie butty... crisp sandwich.... TOAST sandwich which is just toast between other bread..... is the UK OK
A french fry sandwich isn’t the worst thing in the world, but the whole point of a chip butty is that you make it with chip shop chips. They’re wonderful things and they’re different from either french fries or stew fries.
Plenty of place will have a california burrito with fries in the burrito, but there's meat and beans and salsa and cheese in there. Fries are fine to mix into things but they can not carry a sandwich on their own
idk man sausage inna bun and meat pasties and fish & chips all sound great but im side eyeing your crisp butty for lack of flavo(u)r is all
I have had to eat poor person foods that I will happily deem gross. Some people are just addicted to being upset.
Bu-but your mistake is thinking it’s a French fry sandwich. That would be far too greasy.
Proper thick chips with mayo and ketchup otoh…
Quality of one's butter is the key factor in the chip butty.
It's always acceptable to mock English food. Our primary means of cooking is boiling or steaming.
the chip butty is primarily an alcohol absorbent and only secondly a food
The videos online with titles like 'British Children try Texas BBQ for the first time" all have a moment where the child's face lights up because they are experiencing Flavor for the first time ever.
One of the cheapest foods out in America is bahn mi. Pizza by the slice can be crazy cheap. Like I'm sorry if your country hasn't figured out cheap food.
Some Historical context

Wait until you hear about Gregg’s and their geordie dummies, or the speciality that is a mince pie scrunched into a large stotty….
I am open and public about my love for pineapple on pizza, and yeah. People say some things.
I object to the chip butty as well—because of the preemptive trash-goblin shame I feel about knowing, for a certainty, that I would love it. I am a 45-year-old vegan man whose palate sometimes regresses to toddlerhood.
There's a whole business in Pittsburgh that makes sandwiches full of fries and I just don't get it. Are people struggling to eat a side dish and sticking it inside the sandwich is their only solution? I'm incredibly poor, btw, but I still don't get it.
The Brits are just trying to one up the Irish tayto sandwich by using hot chip. They can go f off and enjoy some tea.
Probably the most sincerely mad someone has gotten at me on here was when I insinuated the "zed ex spectrum" had an overly whimsical flavor
Ask them why they invaded the parts of the world with spices if they weren’t going to use them?
As a certified Britishist, those people should fuck off. Chip butties are awful. It's like sadness you put in your mouth. They know it's awful, too, but they just don't like having someone not British point it out.
I am in no way inflamed by your food opinions but I will offer up the Primanti sandwich as one time that french fries in the middle or an amazing thing.
Primanti Brothers is a chain of sandwich shops in the eastern United States, founded in and most closely associated with, as a cultural icon of,…
French fries are best fresh out of the frier. Any other spot - in between bread or in a burrito - is ruining the fry.
Don't think you hate the poor but it's not a french fry sandwich...very different taste & texture, plus there's butter & salt n vinegar. More akin to the way you can eat great French bread with just a smear of butter, or dip chunks of crusty bread in a decent olive oil, & it be supremely satisfying
I live in the UK and EVERY DAY a ROYAL cycles by on a PENNY FARTHING and TOSSES CHIP BUTTIES to the CHATTERING MASSES
I love the Brits trying to defend it by saying they dont use French Fries. They, in fact, use thicker, soggier, mealier, blander fried potato strips.
okay but what about a Primanti sandwich
We live in a country that for some reason expects to be invaded. So we just cope with the cheapest shit that will fill us up. It is as stupid as it sounds
I will say as a vegetarian who has had to make the fry sandwich at restaurants in the past due to no good options, it's actually not bad. Granted I had like cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes on it.
Chip Butty? I used to dance under that name....
Some pensioner with a paid off house seeing you mock a £19 potato sandwich: "you 'hate the pooh, don' ya?" Same guy seeing actual poor people: "STOP THE BOATS! TEAR DOWN THE 'OTELS!"
…I don’t understand how they made that connection at all, and I do like a French fry sandwich (admittedly usually when hungover). Also the best one I ever had was in po’boy form at a hole in the wall joint in New Orleans, so, whatever, Brits.
So you hate Primantis, a working class American staple too? Damn dude
If you've not a chip butty with curry sauce then you haven't lived. Preferably in a barm cake.
french fry sandwich is belgian
taps sign
the insecurity about it is an indicator
Eating 3 Pringles chips stacked together and calling it a sandwich
Ha, I had a British roommate who would spoon canned corn kernels on to her sandwiches while I laughed at her (she mocked me for peanut butter).
But she also taught me to make a fruit crumble, and that was delightful!
The opinions of TERF Islanders on food should be immediately discarded.
People do get very weird about food. I don't think I've ever tried proper french fries in a sandwich as opposed to like chip shop chips. Not sure if you really have them or what you call them. I'm now thinking about actual french fries in a sandwich and wondering what it would be like.
Brits are offended that their food is disgusting? The same people who eat sausage made of blood? 😆
A cuisine that never recovered from war rationing
When I went to England, the food was quite literally so bland it actually convinced me I had COVID because I had never experienced eating something devoid of any taste whatsoever.
Turns out I didn’t have COVID. But holy fuck was that an experience
why put fries in a sandwich when you can put them in a burrito
I thought it sounded gross too until I tried one. White bread, butter, and hot, thick-cut chips=carb heaven.
I break them by hitting back with, "'Yeah, yeah. America borger borger, lol.' But name me a better peasant meal than a burger and fries. You can't. Because there isn't one."
They will go berserk naming obscure European slop-meals.
Everyone (who went to Rutgers more than a decade ago) knows that you can't have a french fry sandwich without chicken strips and mozzarella sticks.
So Much Discourse and somehow I'm the only person to mention that a lot of our shit food habits are hangovers from post-war rationing that stuck.
“What, too good for Mordor cuisine? Must be some kind of High Lord!”
I'm not trying to start shit, and I can't speak for any British version of a french fry sandwich, but New Orleans has french fry po'boys (slathered in gravy) that are good as hell.
British people are nuts about their food??? I posted a picture of salad cream (derogatory) and people were calling women "cunts" in my mentions over it
'Don't knock it till you've tried it' as we say here
We need more anglophobia
ragret to inform that this is also anti-Irish
You’re welcome to food opinions but also please a French fry is a different preparation from a chippie chip. Tastes and feels different.
I also agree a ff sandwich sounds gross but am a chip butty enjoyer.
French Fries belong in a pita with falafel.
just wait until the good people of Pittsburgh get wind
omg tal, stay strong. i called a mince pie a kind of disappointing cookie once and my relationship with the brits has never been the same
Historically the one people in the world which was introduced to the the plethora of variety of spices and foods from the new world but settled on just potatoes because the pot pie crust they had was already too spicy for them.
The local gyro food truck puts fries in the gyros, which I like, but I'm assuming this is just a sandwich of fries?
You can put a hash brown on a sandwich but the key is to have other things on the sandwich. You don't just eat a hash brown and bread!
I had potatoes on a breakfast burrito this morning but it also had eggs, peppers, cheese, and hot sauce because I don't eat like the Germans are still overhead.
i would eat a french fry sandwich but i don't feel threatened by people who think it's gross lol. i hate mayonnaise passionately, and i hope it's understood that i'm not trying to Cancel™ mayonnaise but rather, freely giving everyone else my alotted mayonnaise ration. please take it away from me
As a forced Brit..it's truly horrible
I was touring Europe with a French punk band in 1994, and sometimes they would fill a baguette with fries and call it a sandwich. “But that’s starch on starch!” I objected. I ate it, of course, because you take what you can get on a punk rock tour.
I will never dislike fried potatoes on bread BUT ALSO India inarguably did it better with vada pav
The amount of people arguing that their chips are some magical thing we don’t have over here: WE DO. They’re called steak fries.
Of all the cultural dishes to get mad about. Like, don't get me wrong, I enjoy a chip butty lathered up with sauce and butter, just to make sure my heart really suffers for my hubris... But they're really just okay.
Does the UK know they have Yorkshire pudding? That's a food to feel strongly about!
Probably pretty much every country in the world has some very popular dish that seems just awful to people who are not from there.
