So glad you tried this, this is one of my favourite comfort foods and you're right you can't have it too often because of the unhealthy nature of it but then you should never have any treat too often because it will no longer be a treat.

2020-06-18 09:42:57 +0000 UTCI hope you could go on a nice long walk or bike ride to make up for the carbs. I love the potato parts but it is hard to find worthwhile bread in the average shop. And I'm sure that there's lots of great bread being baked by smaller food entrepreneurs in Canada! There's a video idea - unique Canadian healthy foods!

2020-06-06 01:58:21 +0000 UTCNice - carbs on carbs :). This reminds me of something my father does: take left over mashed potatoes (preferably still modestly warm or even hot) - put butter on a piece of (white) bread - mashed potatoes on top - salt it slightly -> eat :). Sounds gross, I know, but you know what, surprisingly it's bloody delicious.

2020-05-30 17:07:10 +0000 UTC"I love a chip butty but it has to be made with white bread, in the old days it would have been Mother’s Pride or Sunblest. When you put on those hot chip-shop chips, with plenty of butter and salt and malt vinegar, the bread takes on the same texture as the potato and it’s just delicious." Marco Pierre White (https://jaimemagazine.com/2017/10/09/marco-pierre-white-on-life-after-the-kitchen/) He says something similar to Bourdain in his Netflix series. The texture is a massive component of the pleasure. End of slightly pompous post!

2020-05-30 15:09:34 +0000 UTCMy mother and grand father loved beef dripping. We made our own but you could buy it in Yorkshire butchers. You'd get a bit of the jelly from the meat as well as the fat, so you'd either stick your knife in and get a mix of the two and spread or if you'd just done a beef roast, take your bread and wipe one side along the warm beef fat, fold in half and enjoy.

2020-05-30 14:01:42 +0000 UTCLove it! \o/ You truly are a Brit now you've had a chip butty. 😆Add another chevron to the shoulder and try a 'Sugar Butty'. Yes, a thin layer of white granulated sugar on buttered white bread! Better still - 'Bread & Dripping' with salt & pepper. Dripping is cooled beef fat leftover from a Sunday roast (also known as Lard). Proper WW2 ration foods. Nasty to me and younger generations, but was the staple diet of my Grandparents era during those harsh times. 🤓

2020-05-30 13:01:08 +0000 UTCOnly thing better than a chip butty is a bacon butty. For a great chip butty, the chips need to be fried but oven is okay if you prefer. The fried ones seem to hold the heat more which helps melt the butter. Nothing worse than a chip butty with cold or colder than the chips butter as you bite in you feel the warmth of the chips then there's that awful moment where the cold butter touches your gums. Yuck. We gte I Can't Believe it's Not Butter here, but after so many years, if you still can't believe it's not butter, you never will. I like how it says, 'original' and 'originale', as if they didn't put the second one on the French speakers wouldn't know what it is. Or would say, 'but this is nothing to us, meh'.

2020-05-30 12:59:18 +0000 UTCBrilliant, that looked so good! We do have "I can't believe it's not butter" here in the UK (and have done for like 30 years, i posted a hilarious vid related on discord). You're totally right about it being quintessential comfort food. Have you tried Fried Egg butty? They are 😋. Also I loved it when you looked at your non-existent watch😂

2020-05-30 12:48:04 +0000 UTCI think you made a great chip sandwich but a real chip butty has to come from the chip shop you have made me fancy one now. I hope you’re staying sane and finding fun things to do. I’m sure we’ll happily wait to see Ontario until it’s safer for you to show us, thanks for the video

2020-05-30 12:23:07 +0000 UTCThe chips have to be fresh and hot, then with the butter melting, it is ok. It is always handy to have a drink of choice close by too.

2020-05-30 12:20:07 +0000 UTCThat's a great idea! But yeah, wouldn't have access to too many of those here, will have to wait!

2020-05-30 12:09:10 +0000 UTCVinegar does sound lovely, but I don't want my food to be soggy!! The conundrum!

2020-05-30 12:08:45 +0000 UTCWelcome to the dark side Alanna. It's true the butty is best with chip shop chips, preferably left over chips that had lots of salt and vinegar on them, so the flavor is soaked in. Warmed in the microwave so they're nice and soggy and and more vinegar for good measure. It's always brown sauce for me. For extra scrumptiousness and calorific value melt some cheese on top of the chips. 😋 I'm pleased you didn't cut it in half. The butty must always be shoved into the cake hole in one piece. I'm hungry now so guess what I'm going to have! 😊

2020-05-30 12:01:43 +0000 UTCIt might have to wait until you are back in the UK. But a fun video might be trying things the British call pudding. Yorkshire, black, white, pease, steak and kidney, bread, sticky toffee... I know you have done some in the past but I think the range would be fun

2020-05-30 11:58:42 +0000 UTCInteresting!! Everyone seems to say vinegar is more important than ketchup as well!

2020-05-30 11:53:35 +0000 UTCA Victoria sponge sounds like a great idea!!

2020-05-30 11:51:13 +0000 UTCI took some bread out of the freezer for the video and the dog ate it before filming lol oops, stuck with the stale stuff!

2020-05-30 11:51:04 +0000 UTCI've always wanted to try Bubble and Squeak for the name alone lol

2020-05-30 11:50:35 +0000 UTCGreat idea!
Adventures and Naps
2020-05-30 11:50:12 +0000 UTCInteresting!! But wouldn't it be dry without enough ketchup?? (or other sauce)
Adventures and Naps
2020-05-30 11:49:54 +0000 UTCThe tan is looking strong again,you have a glow going on! As for the butty, i prefer chip shop chips in mine with plenty of salt and just a hint of vinegar, simple is best. The ketchup is a mood thing, if i do have it, i don't have much. If you want traditional British food you have to try a trifle. To be honest it wouldn't be my choice but it is very traditional. Stay happy.

2020-05-30 11:29:40 +0000 UTCMy uncle used to tell a story of making sandwiches in bulk on the Normandy beaches using a mess tin of melted butter and a shaving brush - I don't think they put chips in them though. How about making bread (not bread and butter) pudding: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/bread-pudding-0

2020-05-30 11:19:15 +0000 UTCThat's made me hungry. As other people have said just put salt and vinegar on, little tip, put the salt and vinegar on the chips before you put them in the sandwich that way the vinegar will not make the bread soggy. Thinking of traditional British food for you to make i think Bubble and Squeak would be a good one. As always great vid that cheered up my morning.

2020-05-30 10:53:02 +0000 UTC4 years in the U.K and never had a chip butty, I`m surprised. Oh the bread thing,keep it in the freezer and just take out what you want,keeps about 6 months.

2020-05-30 10:35:07 +0000 UTCLooks delicious! Definitely have to try one. You are the Martha Stewart of the lockdown! 😊

2020-05-30 10:01:41 +0000 UTCI knew you would like it, but you have much to explore in the butty world. Bacon butty, sausage butty (although lack of brown sauce will be an issue, bacon and egg butty, basically any combination of cooked breakfast ingredients and chips can go in a butty or just crisps. A salt and vinegar crisps butty is amazing. Think what you had but more crunch less soggy and more vinegar
Simon
2020-05-30 10:00:37 +0000 UTCGreat video Alanna. The chip butty is a real classic, even used to do this growing up in Australia. Always used thick sliced fresh bread, one slice, buttered, enough to just see teeth marks as you bite into it. Layer hot chip shop chips, salted and lightly vinegared on one half and fold over, with a little ketchup on the side for dipping. The hot chips make the butter melt a little, so watch out for drips. Simple, but so good.

2020-05-30 09:51:01 +0000 UTCHi, Alanna, I feel really hungry after watching that, that was a pretty near perfect chip butty, the only thing to improve it would be to swap the ketchup for vinegar, although it does make the bread go soggy. I was surprised vinegar was not so popular in Canada, fish and chips is nowhere near as good without vinegar. How about another video featuring your sisters dog? If you want to try cooking again how about a cake a traditional Victoria Sponge, it would be fun watching you make that. We do have I can't believe it's not butter here, in fact there was a very funny scene in The Vicar of Dibley featuring it. It's probably still about somewhere on You Tube. Looking forward to your next video soon.

2020-05-30 09:30:01 +0000 UTCSome people would say a real chip butty uses teacakes/baps/rolls where as bread would be just a chip sandwich. :P A proper butty would be proper chips (thick ones) done in a fryer, covered in salt & vineger. But who has time for that these days? Oven chips will do. Weirdly a chip butty is the only thing I still put salt on. I stopped having extra salt on food back in 1994/5. And yes, we have 'I can't believe it's not butter' in the UK and pretty much every supermarket has their own knock-off brand too. xD Although ours are called "spreads" rather than Margarine because they changed the formula (something to do with fat content iirc) many years back and it doesn't fall under the legal definition of margarine, or so say EU food people. *shrug*
