I must confess that I’ve never understood the Brit obsession with “chip butties” (a.k.a. “chip baps”), which are simply whitebread-and-butter sandwiches with french fries inside them. (A “bap” is a sandwich, either sliced bread or a bread roll — don’t ask, I don’t get it either.)
There’s no reason why you couldn’t put fries into a sandwich, I guess, although I’ve always considered fries to be an accompaniment to a sandwich rather than its filling. Put it down to Weird Shit That Brits Do.
However, there’s been this development: the 1,000-calorie deep-fried chip butty, and apparently the Brits can’t get enough of it. (No pics because… yikes.)
Even better, the deep-fried chip butty can be served with a side order of… fries.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all… although I have to tell you that I wouldn’t mind trying one, just out of academic interest.
Postscript: In Scotland you can get deep-fried Mars Bars, but that’s just the Scots being Scottish. And they taste just about as you’d think they’d taste: bloody awful.
My father in law told me that they frequently ate porn n bean sandwiches during the depression. Seems kinda sloppy to me. Guess you had to be there.
Should I edit that…?
LOL of man, I’ve misspelled before but….
oh, not of sheesh
I’m just sitting here, watching the show…

I usually went for a Fat Cat or Fat Moon.
The home of the deep-fried Mars Bar, Stonehaven, is a few miles away. I have yet to indulge – I’ve never been sufficiently drunk.
Actually – the acronym BAP is used here in the fast food trade as well, it actually means “anything” in bread with served with a pickle on the side, otherwise Bun and Pickle hence BAP. Most joints here in the midwest will deliver the burger with a 1/4 picke slice on side and fries (chips to those in the old country).
And if you want some mild stomach churning, go see the Belgians eat fries slathered with mayo. I think I saw this in Montreal too.
Because… not enough carbs!
See Belgian ” Mitraillette “, no not the submachine gun.
The signature of the Primanti Brothers sandwich shop chain in the Pittsburgh area is putting fries on their sandwiches, they make good sandwiches but I always request the fries on the side because combining them detracts from both the sandwich and the fries.
