I guess anything you like! I always add crisps to salad butties - each slice spread with a layer of cream cheese, a leaf of lettuce, a layer of sliced tomato(the juicier the better)then a sprinkling of salt and pepper, a layer of sliced h.b. egg, a generous layer of crisps, squash down the top slice and, voila! bob’s definitely your uncle, fanny’s certainly your aunt!!
Congratulations you went with the best flavour and brand of crisps also the Roberts bread 🍞 superb 👌🏼 you don’t need to add the whole bag of crisps it’s good to have crisps to eat WITH the sandwich 🥪
Crush all the crisps (Salt n Vinegar flavour) in the packet this makes it a lot less messy. Both sides of the bread should be lathered in butter, the little crushed crisps stick to the butter perfectly, and then top with the other slice of bread, cut diagonal (into triangle shape) and enjoy! :)
Hmmm I used to do this but I like the texture and asthetics of not doing this. I feel I get more crutch and the texture is improved by not crushing the crisps. To be fair each to their own. Not disagreeing I just prefer it my way. Have a lovely day and just enjoy your butty the way you love it 👍
guys, im from the north east england, this was a staple for us while at school in the 80's, it was in the days on lunch time, when you could leave school through the dinner break, as you know england has shops, takeaways and stuff on every street corner, across the road from school, we had newsagents, chinese, chip shop, and a bakers, these guys catered for the school children 11 to 16 years old on lunch time, curry and chips, chips and gravy, fish bites and chips, the bakers also got the idea, because of the crisp sandwhich, they would bake mini loafs of bread, uncut,, just one cut, down the center end to end in the middle, but not quite cut in half, open it slightly and butter both sides and sell this with a packet of crisps, where you would stuff the middle with crisps and that was your lunch fresh baked bread, and crisps, i cant rember the price, but guessing around 40 50p back in the day.
Salad Cream, if you can get it, is the ideal accompaniment for a crisp sarnie. It's a pourable, tangy condiment, Heinz do the best ones. Might be available at a British food store.😋🍞
@@Ionabrodie69 we can find Heinz salad cream in our import stores, but not typically in one of our regular supermarkets. I did find Heinz beans in a supermarket, but it was on the bottom shelf where nobody ever looks!
Had a crisp sandwich for Lunch today - was cheese and onion 👍🏼 - had tomato and mayonnaise in it too - cracked black pepper - gorgeous - whatever you like put it in xx
I have never seen a crisp butty eaten with more elegant decorum. And yes, you do butter both slices of the bread. Even plain crisps are nice in a sarnie.
Get anchor butter... they do a spreadable butter. For this to work you need salted butter which Anchor is. Lashings of it. Hovis is the best, warburtons is chewy. If you don't butter both sides crisps will fall out... Walkers is the same as Lays btw
I put the walkers cheese and onion crisps in my crisp sandwich so congrats on being the first Americans I've watched who actually made a proper British sandwich. I expected you to toast the bread as other Americans trying to make a Bacon sandwich/butty/sarnie did and they didn't butter the bread/toast either. Well done on doing it right and love your videos . From a Yorkshireman in the UK. 🤓👍❤
Thank you. We've been told we need to use even more butter! 🙂I don't know how the crisps would stay on the bread if it was toasted. We have a very generous viewer from Yorkshire who has sent us some lovely snacks from the area.
Great video, I'm having a crisp butty as I watch but I crunch my crisps in the bag as they are easier to eat this way and no mayonnaise just lots of butter
Love crisp butty! It was great as a kid. You could run in slap it together & be back out within a minute to eat on the go. As you get older, you add different things & spend more time constructing the perfect butty. I like mine with Conservative spread of ketchup (don't want to over power it lol) and spring onion/scallions 😗👌
I think it may have seemed dryer because it was eaten from the crust. I always cut crisp sandwiches in half first and then eat from the cut side. I also really crush the crisps so it’s easier Xx
For crisp butties, usually with C&O or ready salted - I typically add a layer of cheese spread on top of the butter as a better holding ingredient for them . . . a "Butty" though is just the basic signature of what you are making/eating on bread or even with buns - and whatever goes into it gives it its name at the end.Crisp butty, Chip butty, Chicken, Roast Beef, Fish, BLT, Salad, Cheese, Ham & Cheese, Bacon, Fried Egg(s), Sausages, and so on. You just make a butty the way that you want it to be, and can mix and match - and then what you yourself then add on as a sauce, pickle, relish, etc, is also down to you, if you want to do so - that though is rarely put or added onto the main name itself . . . Over here in the UK many stores, supermarkets and small shops & petrol stations offer a variety of pre-packaged "sandwiches" to buy and also have to tell you on the label exactly what's in them - and their sell or use by dates due to our laws - this is in case of any possible allergic reactions or such, or when they may go "off". But as they may not be made as to how you would really like or personally make them youseself with partular things, they and we don't call them butties . . . A butty is just made from whatever your own specific choice of ingredients within one is - that's the main difference . . . So there are always many options available for you to try - depending upon just what kinds of butty you'd want to have . . . Instead of the fish'n'chips I once use to get at my local chippy (chip shop) - I now just get the battered fish (cod) instead and make Fish butties with it . . . (adding gravy, or mushy peas, or a sauce/ketchup, if I want anything on it as well) - which is really awesome and very filling as well, and it sees me through the whole day . . . !!!!
@@FinnLovesFood - There are various brand name soft spread cheeses over here, like Dairylea, etc, but I rarely go for brand names myself as they just charge a lot more for the same thing . . . same with baked beans and everything else - even if they may be slightly just better, taste-wise? I usually just get mine, a generic one, from Aldi over here, and can get at least 2 for the price of 1 brand name one. Usually circular small tubs that you keep in the fridge and are always spreadable when you take them out and open the lid . . . they also usually have a foil lid over the cheese spread itself that you can pull back a bit to use some - and then recover it as well to keep it lasting a bit longer . . .
We used to have tomato ketchup sandwiches as a kid. (Yes we were poor) I used to love it though. I didn't realise at the time it was because we couldn't afford something proper in the sandwich lol.
My lunchtime sandwich of choice is butter and cheese on one slice of bread, butter, corned beef and Branston Pickle on the other slice of bread and then sandwich them together. That way the Branston is between the cheese and the corned beef. Lovely.
Both pieces of bread on one side. This is the rule for any sandwich. I love cheese and onion crisps with sliced ham and pickled eggs in my sandwich. Also grated mature cheddar with ready salted or cheese and onion and tomato, lettuce and cucumber. Tea is the best drink to have with a sandwich.
Strawberry jam and cheese and onion crisps are amazing in a sandwich! Or mix the cheese and onion crisps with matured cheddar in sandwich and butter both sides
As an Englishman I have never wanted to try a crisp sandwich. You were brave. As for Walkers crisps, I have yet to find a pack of their crisps that tastes the same from one batch to the next. Perhaps it is my palate but cheese and onion at least can be very nice or have hardly any flavour. I am sure that others will disagree with me.
Crisp Butty: 2 Slices Empty bag onto one and put other slice on top and press down (not too much) then lift and eat. To soften your butter scrape and press scrapping in tub and repeat until butter is soft enough
If i make a crisp sandwich i put butter and mayo on you need it because its too dry other wise. Im from uk as well , or sometime i put tomatoes in it as well.
All crisp flavours can eaten alone in a Sandwich. My combo Sarnie's are thus: Prawn cocktail with Prawn, Tuna or Salmon. Cheese and onion, Salt and vinegar with Cheese, Ham or both together. Salt and vinegar or Roast chicken with Chicken. Salt and vinegar, Worcester sauce with pork and beef. Ready salted crisps can go with anything.
SUPERB GUYS 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍 ! omg we get Roberts Bread from our local Aldi.... 🤣🤣👍 Now you need to try a proper Chip butty 😉. Speakin of which its chippy Friday..😊 Hope you guys are both well. J 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
Ah, a proper old-fashioned chip butty. The chips from the chippy(shop) steaming hot in their wrapping = plenty of salt and vinegar - grasp a good handful, pile on a round of buttered bread, put on an equally well-buttered top slice, press down, grasp it in both hands and lift in to your mouth (ignoring the melted butter running down your arm) - delicious!😀
I must mention ‘real’ mushy peas; a ‘delicacy’ where I come from. Sold at chip shops in the 50s/60s/70s - maybe still sold, but most likely, nowt like! They were, I guess, a dried pea, soaked for a period of time, then boiled for a period of time until they were a ‘mush’, maybe with a spoonful or so of bicarbonate of soda added - a matter of taste, but a lot of us northerners thought they were the bees-knees as an accompaniment to fish and chips.
Ham and crisp sandwiches are great. If you like butter, use plain crisps. Smokey Bacon are my favourite flavour in a sandwich. People like crisps and tuna, crisps and cheese, crisps and apple and cheese.
Pro tip from a northerner who only eats Warburton's soft bread when dealing with soft bread and hard butter get the butter on your knife and spread it back on top the butter then back on the knife and onto the butter, repeat a few times and your butter will have softened a bit and easier to spread.
Crisp sandwiches are not for the faint hearted that's for sure. You both did a good job but for future crisp sandwiches you need lots of butter on both pieces of bread and then probably half that packet size of crisps, sandwich cut diagonally and a brew.... and maybe add some good cheddar and onion to the sandwich too. Really anything goes...its whatever you like. I love a toasted bread sandwich with mayo on one side and English mustard on the other and then a few slices of ham and salad leaves- always a packet of cheese & onion walkers by the side. Enjoy! Ps If you have marmite mix it with some soft butter and spread on soft white bread with cucumber slices or cheese and onion...another childhood favourite and the butter takes away some of the harshness of the marmite too.
Hovis granary wholemeal bread ,butter , coleman's English mustard, ham, salad leaves, crushed walkers smokey bacon crisps and hp sauce. Best sandwich ever.
I love a crisp butty of any flavour but another good tip is to crush a small amount of crisps and shake them over a salad. It is ace. Also warm your crisps in the microwave just for a few short seconds for your butty.
Butter both sides of the bread and on one of them spread some brown sauce , then add about half the crisps place the other slice on top and flatten down . Then pour a glass of beer and hey presto you're ready for Saturday afternoon ⚽️ another enjoyable video . Ròberts bakery is just a little below Warburton in the bread league table, have a good week
I know it’s whatever you prefer, I myself use seeded bread, unbuttered, pour the whole 25g bag of crisps on one round, douse it with either brown sauce or ketchup (with a splash of malt vinegar for moisture), slap on the top slice, pressing down to carefully contain the crisp between, grasp it firmly in both hands and, -cup- mug of tea at the ready, munch away!
definitely needs more crushing. You want no air left, as crushed as you can get it. Butter both sides and salt and vinegar crisps are my go to. Some other notes, this is a struggle meal so (traditionally at least, do what you want) you wouldn't be using posh butter. its funny seeing americans eating a crisp butty and going very fancy with it (getting walkers and english bread, fancy (sounding) butter and all that) when I've grown up with my dad telling me about how his mum would give him a bag of crisps and two slices of plastic-y bread for school lunch when they were running out of money at the end of the month.
@@FinnLovesFood Of course you have the fish fingers ( I personally butter the bread ) then tartare sauce or mayo depending on your preference, lettuce & there you have it. Can also dip it in ketchup if you want to get nasty.
@@FinnLovesFood Just bread (anything but white bread of course) some butter or whatever spread you normally use and voila! ( guess you could give a few shakes of malt vinegar onto the fingers but dont be tempted to add ketchup!) 🙂
If your going to make a crisp butty do it properly, butter both slices of bread then on both slices on top of the butter spread a generous amount of hp brown sauce, then add the crisps your size bag is enough for both butties, then squash both slices together flat, then eat.
Great choice of crisps and yes the butter adds to the tasty experience! I'm afraid the bread I've never heard of and bread should be fresh, not processed junk that packaged bread is - especially if it's had the extra time to travel across the pond! We do alot of artisan fresh bread (no preservatives) in most supermarkets and small independent bakeries. Good video!
Thanks! It seemed some people had heard of this bread and others hadn't. Maybe it's regional? The store kept it in the freezer as it must be a challenge to transport bread all that way!
Ham with cheese & onion crisps. Plain (ready salted) or marmite with cheese. Salt & vinegar on there own. The best way to do a crisp butty is to butter both slices, put crisps on one half of each slice & fold. Less dropage & mess of crisps.
A basic sandwich is two slices of bread (both buttered) and the filling is "sandwiched" inbetween them. I think you put too many crisps in your sandwiches - just a few at a time. Mind you at the end of the day you can eat your sandwiches however you want to. I used to have tomato sauce butties and of course chip butties. Then there is a fried egg butty - buttered bread and a fried egg. The secret is that when you bite into the yoke you need to suck it so that it doesn't run down your arms.
We are still amazed at buttering bread for sandwiches. We do it for some hot sandwiches, but rarely on others. We would typically use mayo or other condiments.
I prefer plain salted crisps and plenty of BUTTER. Chip (fries) butties also a must and its not a proper one until the butter drips from the butty ie hot/warm chips.
I've just actually tried this yesterday and today! Plain Lays Original chips yesterday, and Lays Cheddar and Sour Cream Wavy chips today. Both were good but I much preferred the wavy Cheddar and Sour Cream chips over the plain. Would definitely have again! I found a full sammy too much, so I cut a single slice in half for the second one, and that was a perfect snack size.
Crisp butties are great, especially if you've got those unpopular flavoured crisps you get as part of the multi packs. You know chicken, smokey bacon flavours,whatever. I personally crush the Crisps in the packet and then tip them on to the bread, then spread them evenly before covering with the top slice of bread.
Yep, a rollover from teenage life when you came home from school and feeling famished you would go through the cupboards and concoct something out of nothing before your mum told you your rea was ready!
If you have smooth Picallily you could put that in the sandwich. Unfortunately chunky Picallily tends to fall out. In the UK you used to be able to buy something called Sandwich Spread that went well with a Crisp Sarnie, but as I have lived in Turkey for some years I have no idea if you can still get it.
@@FinnLovesFood Some makes are smoother than others. Haywards, ın my ğpinion the best, ıs unfortunately for crisp sarnıes fairly chunky, but as the sayıng goes, 'beggars can't be choosers'.
My favourite im from England and we tend to add crisps to our usual sandwiches just for an added crunch so we have tuna salad sandwich for example and add in ready salted crisps it’s yummy x
When I was a little sprog in the 1960s we used to have granulated sugar sandwiches, or sliced banana sandwiches. A lot of people in the UK have switched to soft "straight from the fridge" spreads instead of butter. Which can be made from a mixture of butter and oil, or just different types of vegetable oil. Dairy fats got a really bad reputation in the UK in the 1980s. When all the "experts" said that they were bad for your heart. Something that has mostly been debunked now. They were also saying the same thing about eggs as well at one time.
Back again, I've never tried American butter, for me it always has to be lurpak butter and brown sauce, I really enjoy hearing you crunch lol, it would amaze you if you knew what we eat in England, like curry that has gone cold on a buttie, we're animals lol
Thinly sliced smoked ham thick bread a ridiculous amount of butter and half a bag of walkers and i have been known to add cream cheese with chives (phillidelphia)
It's both side you butter,but you could have just used the one slice and fold it over with the crisps inside,mind squash it down with your hand and put a little more crisps in it.
Completely different food topic but try some Warburtons crumpets toasted and buttered with anchor salted butter. Amazing in the morning with coffee or tea.
I put on any flavoured crisps on a butty,, never heard of Roberts bread,yes Warburtons bread the best.. that’s right, squash the top bread down, crisp butty makes a good tea time meal, with a cup of Yorkshire tea..
butter or marg is okay but you don't need to put the full bag of chips / crisp in the sandwich, cut the sandwich in half and have any drink you want - tea, coffee or a cold drink .
To soften the butter, just zap it in the microwave for 10 secs (800w). If it's still too firm try a few seconds longer. If your microwave has a higher wattage then nuke it for less time.
@@woodentie8815 Believe me it works, but you have to keep an eye on it. If you leave it in for too long it starts to melt. I can only go by my microwave and the least amount of time you can set on it is 10 secs. There are "variables" to take into account - how hard is the butter? What's the power of your microwave (mine is 800w)? How much butter are you putting in the microwave? If it's nearly a full pack it's capable of absorbing more microwaves than for instance less than 100g/2oz. You can't put it in and walk away, you need to give it attention, but it's only for a few seconds anyway. I set mine to 10 secs and maybe watch it countdown and when it gets to 4/5 secs pull it out and gently probe it with a knife. If it's softened to a spreadable consistency, great. If not, then put it back in for 3/4 secs or so. I've always found it tends to soften up from the inside out. Originally I considered setting the microwave to 'defrost', but it defrost's by switching the microwaves on and off. And the period of time they were "on" was greater than 10 secs, so I wasn't gaining any extra control by softening butter on a defrost setting. If your microwave is greater than 800w, obviously it will need less time.
We’d never butter just 1 slice of bread … what would be the point .. one side of your sandwich is going to taste dry. Or I like left over chicken from a roast dinner, buttered bread and crisps on top of the chicken … anything really. Another popular sandwich here is the fish finger sandwich… frozen fish fingers in bread and butter… people like a variety of sauces either just plain malt vinegar drizzled over the fish fingers or tartar sauce or even ketchup is good
What do you put on your crisp butty?
Salad cream.
For anyone who hasn't tried it, I used to go to a cafe that did a bacon butty with cheese and onion crisps in. Gorgeous. You're welcome 😊
I guess anything you like! I always add crisps to salad butties - each slice spread with a layer of cream cheese, a leaf of lettuce, a layer of sliced tomato(the juicier the better)then a sprinkling of salt and pepper, a layer of sliced h.b. egg, a generous layer of crisps, squash down the top slice and, voila! bob’s definitely your uncle, fanny’s certainly your aunt!!
tayto cheese and onion, this is the best crisp butty in the uk.
Tuna Mayo with ready salted/sea salted crisps is elite you need too try it
Butter both slices, thickly. It helps the flavour, and it helps the crisps to stay in the sandwich.
Congratulations you went with the best flavour and brand of crisps also the Roberts bread 🍞 superb 👌🏼 you don’t need to add the whole bag of crisps it’s good to have crisps to eat WITH the sandwich 🥪

They were, I guess, a dried pea, soaked for a period of time, then boiled for a period of time until they were a ‘mush’, maybe with a spoonful or so of bicarbonate of soda added - a matter of taste, but a lot of us northerners thought they were the bees-knees as an accompaniment to fish and chips.
Ham and crisp sandwiches are great. If you like butter, use plain crisps. Smokey Bacon are my favourite flavour in a sandwich. People like crisps and tuna, crisps and cheese, crisps and apple and cheese.
It seems they would give a nice crunch to a regular sandwich.
The Robertson's bread is good I passed the bakery every day into work in Cheshire. Crisps can be added to any butty/ sandwhich to add crunch
Pro tip from a northerner who only eats Warburton's soft bread when dealing with soft bread and hard butter get the butter on your knife and spread it back on top the butter then back on the knife and onto the butter, repeat a few times and your butter will have softened a bit and easier to spread.
Thanks for the tip!
Crisp sandwiches are not for the faint hearted that's for sure. You both did a good job but for future crisp sandwiches you need lots of butter on both pieces of bread and then probably half that packet size of crisps, sandwich cut diagonally and a brew.... and maybe add some good cheddar and onion to the sandwich too. Really anything goes...its whatever you like. I love a toasted bread sandwich with mayo on one side and English mustard on the other and then a few slices of ham and salad leaves- always a packet of cheese & onion walkers by the side. Enjoy! Ps If you have marmite mix it with some soft butter and spread on soft white bread with cucumber slices or cheese and onion...another childhood favourite and the butter takes away some of the harshness of the marmite too.
Cheddar and onion sound like great additions. We do have marmite! Thank you for the suggestions.
Wotsit sandwiches are the best, we used to have it for school lunches when you ran out of things in the fridge.
We've tried Wotsits only once. It isn't difficult to keep them between the slices of bread?
I'm from the UK when I have a crisp butty I use margarine but spread it on thickly then put the crisps on it
Hovis granary wholemeal bread ,butter , coleman's English mustard, ham, salad leaves, crushed walkers smokey bacon crisps and hp sauce. Best sandwich ever.
I love a crisp butty of any flavour but another good tip is to crush a small amount of crisps and shake them over a salad. It is ace. Also warm your crisps in the microwave just for a few short seconds for your butty.
Never thought of adding regular crisps to a salad, though we do put tortilla chips on taco salads.
We had Heinz tomato soup and ready salted crisps!! From yorkshire and i put everything in bread thats savoury haha
Best crisp butty is butter on one side ,cheddar ,mayo then chutney and cheese and onion crisps. Yum!
Thick white sliced loaf, margarine on both sides, sharp cheddar cheese and salt & vinegar crisps. Cup of tea to go with it.
Butter both sides of the bread and on one of them spread some brown sauce , then add about half the crisps place the other slice on top and flatten down . Then pour a glass of beer and hey presto you're ready for Saturday afternoon ⚽️ another enjoyable video . Ròberts bakery is just a little below Warburton in the bread league table, have a good week
Thanks! It seems like beer would go well with a crisp butty!
This one is a MUST try. salted crisps (plain) and thin sliced apple in a sandwich. Trust me if you haven't already tried your gonna thank me.
soup .. goes well with a crisp sarnie aka butty .. both bread buttered ... not the whole packet ....
Yeah, great with cuppasoup, especially when drank from a Noddy holder! 😁
I know it’s whatever you prefer, I myself use seeded bread, unbuttered, pour the whole 25g bag of crisps on one round, douse it with either brown sauce or ketchup (with a splash of malt vinegar for moisture), slap on the top slice, pressing down to carefully contain the crisp between, grasp it firmly in both hands and, -cup- mug of tea at the ready, munch away!
Good tips for some extra moisture! Ours seemed a bit dry and that sure would help.
definitely needs more crushing. You want no air left, as crushed as you can get it. Butter both sides and salt and vinegar crisps are my go to. Some other notes, this is a struggle meal so (traditionally at least, do what you want) you wouldn't be using posh butter. its funny seeing americans eating a crisp butty and going very fancy with it (getting walkers and english bread, fancy (sounding) butter and all that) when I've grown up with my dad telling me about how his mum would give him a bag of crisps and two slices of plastic-y bread for school lunch when they were running out of money at the end of the month.
Well done you guys - good to see you enjoying some of our 'out there' snacks - the next thing is fish finger butty 🙂
What do you put on a fish finger butty? Besides the fish fingers of course!
@@FinnLovesFood Of course you have the fish fingers ( I personally butter the bread ) then tartare sauce or mayo depending on your preference, lettuce & there you have it. Can also dip it in ketchup if you want to get nasty.
@@harrisonjamesuk thanks! We're going to give this one a try some time.
@@FinnLovesFood Just bread (anything but white bread of course) some butter or whatever spread you normally use and voila! ( guess you could give a few shakes of malt vinegar onto the fingers but dont be tempted to add ketchup!) 🙂
If your going to make a crisp butty do it properly, butter both slices of bread then on both slices on top of the butter spread a generous amount of hp brown sauce, then add the crisps your size bag is enough for both butties, then squash both slices together flat, then eat.
Tuna Mayo with ready salted crisps are beyond heavenly surely a combo most brits have had atleast once
That sounds similar to what Ross ate as a kid, except with Fritos.
When your butter isn't soft use the knife to soften it on the tub first, spreads like....Well hot butter👍
I love that you’re trying So much British food. Xx❤️❤️
We are having a lot of fun trying all this "new to us" food!
I used to come out of school at lunchtime and call at the local shop for a tcake and a packet of Snapz absolutely delish lol 😆
Great choice of crisps and yes the butter adds to the tasty experience! I'm afraid the bread I've never heard of and bread should be fresh, not processed junk that packaged bread is - especially if it's had the extra time to travel across the pond! We do alot of artisan fresh bread (no preservatives) in most supermarkets and small independent bakeries. Good video!
Thanks! It seemed some people had heard of this bread and others hadn't. Maybe it's regional? The store kept it in the freezer as it must be a challenge to transport bread all that way!
Ham with cheese & onion crisps. Plain (ready salted) or marmite with cheese. Salt & vinegar on there own. The best way to do a crisp butty is to butter both slices, put crisps on one half of each slice & fold. Less dropage & mess of crisps.
Good tip! I bet the ham goes really well with the cheese and onion crisps.
I always crush a little before putting on the bread
A basic sandwich is two slices of bread (both buttered) and the filling is "sandwiched" inbetween them. I think you put too many crisps in your sandwiches - just a few at a time. Mind you at the end of the day you can eat your sandwiches however you want to. I used to have tomato sauce butties and of course chip butties. Then there is a fried egg butty - buttered bread and a fried egg. The secret is that when you bite into the yoke you need to suck it so that it doesn't run down your arms.
We are still amazed at buttering bread for sandwiches. We do it for some hot sandwiches, but rarely on others. We would typically use mayo or other condiments.
When I was small we used to eat bread with butter and hp brown sauce on it
We still have yet to try HP brown sauce from the UK. We had a dab of some that was made here when we had fish and chips.
Mix the flavours up,any two flavours together gives a new experience lol plus loads of butter both sides but no mayo
Salt and vinegar crisps on a tuna mayo barm with lettuce is my favourite 👍
I prefer plain salted crisps and plenty of BUTTER. Chip (fries) butties also a must and its not a proper one until the butter drips from the butty ie hot/warm chips.
Yes cheese n onion or ready salted are the best for a butty with lashings of salad cream 😋👍👍
butter both sides the butter should be thick, mayo yes if i have ham with it.
I've just actually tried this yesterday and today! Plain Lays Original chips yesterday, and Lays Cheddar and Sour Cream Wavy chips today. Both were good but I much preferred the wavy Cheddar and Sour Cream chips over the plain. Would definitely have again! I found a full sammy too much, so I cut a single slice in half for the second one, and that was a perfect snack size.
I like that you tried this with Lays!
Heh.. I was impatient to try it, and that's what we have easily available. Didn't want to wait to go to the specialty shop LOL @@FinnLovesFood
Crisp butties are great, especially if you've got those unpopular flavoured crisps you get as part of the multi packs. You know chicken, smokey bacon flavours,whatever. I personally crush the Crisps in the packet and then tip them on to the bread, then spread them evenly before covering with the top slice of bread.
Yep, a rollover from teenage life when you came home from school and feeling famished you would go through the cupboards and concoct something out of nothing before your mum told you your rea was ready!
Tea not rea
If you have smooth Picallily you could put that in the sandwich. Unfortunately chunky Picallily tends to fall out. In the UK you used to be able to buy something called Sandwich Spread that went well with a Crisp Sarnie, but as I have lived in Turkey for some years I have no idea if you can still get it.
Our jar just says Picalilly relish, but it looks like there are some chunks in there.
Yes you can still get heinze sandwich spread.
@@FinnLovesFood Some makes are smoother than others. Haywards, ın my ğpinion the best, ıs unfortunately for crisp sarnıes fairly chunky, but as the sayıng goes, 'beggars can't be choosers'.
@@Georgestella100 ours is by Norfolk Manor. No idea about the quality, but like you say "beggars can't be choosers!"
The "British flag " is the Union Flag and only called the union jack when flown above on a ship
I guess 99% of British folks are wrong then!🤔
We've often heard it called the union jack, but didn't know that about flying over a ship!
My favourite im from England and we tend to add crisps to our usual sandwiches just for an added crunch so we have tuna salad sandwich for example and add in ready salted crisps it’s yummy x
While some people add crisps to sandwiches here, I've never seen just a crisp sandwich!
@@FinnLovesFood have you tried a chip butty that’s another staple over here I guess you would call it a french frie butty x
When I was a little sprog in the 1960s we used to have granulated sugar sandwiches, or sliced banana sandwiches. A lot of people in the UK have switched to soft "straight from the fridge" spreads instead of butter. Which can be made from a mixture of butter and oil, or just different types of vegetable oil. Dairy fats got a really bad reputation in the UK in the 1980s. When all the "experts" said that they were bad for your heart. Something that has mostly been debunked now. They were also saying the same thing about eggs as well at one time.
We also saw butter and eggs get a bad reputation here around the same time.
You don’t need the whole packet of crisps, but a fair portion of them. Butter both slices, and cut the sandwich in half.
Butter on both slices rule number one lol my favourite is cheddar Brandon pickle and cheese and onion walkers 👌🏻
Egg mayo is really good in a Cheese and Onion crisp sandwich.
Never heard of the Roberts brand of bread...Maybe a Northern England thing.
Back again, I've never tried American butter, for me it always has to be lurpak butter and brown sauce, I really enjoy hearing you crunch lol, it would amaze you if you knew what we eat in England, like curry that has gone cold on a buttie, we're animals lol
LOL. I haven't tried lurpak butter - I'll have to see if I can find it. The Vermont Creamery cultured butter is good, but we don't always find it.
You need to do cheese and onion crisps , crush them down and put salad cream on then put the lid on …
Yes … cheese and onion crisps, but you need the Heinz salad cream on also ….
in the uk growing up this was my food lol!!!especially the 70s
Ahhh, for us it was peanut butter and jelly in the 70s!
There's no hard or fast rule try out different things and see what works.
I like Mature cheddar with salt n vinegar crisps
Put some on a salad sandwich to add crunch. You can put in any sandwich flavour to suit what sandwich is!
We need to try that. We actually found some American chips that were marketed as being great for putting on sandwiches.
Thinly sliced smoked ham thick bread a ridiculous amount of butter and half a bag of walkers and i have been known to add cream cheese with chives (phillidelphia)
Ohh, we like the cream cheese with chives too.
It's both side you butter,but you could have just used the one slice and fold it over with the crisps inside,mind squash it down with your hand and put a little more crisps in it.
We would have eaten less that way too!
Cream cheese would be extra tasty spread thickly, also to add raw onions slices or tomato and ham
Oh, that does sound good! Love cream cheese.
I like mine with cream cheese and ready salted crisps but half pac each on 2 sandwiches 4 slices
Love cream cheese - that sounds good.
Completely different food topic but try some Warburtons crumpets toasted and buttered with anchor salted butter. Amazing in the morning with coffee or tea.
I'm not sure if we can get Warburtons here, but we'll keep an eye out for them.
You need lots of butter for lovely taste
Finn crisp butty is ok. My wife who is long dead used to love a crisp butty. Keep trying these things you will find something that you love.
The best is cheese and onion crisps with dairy Lea spread
If you both like marmite you might try Twiglets they are marmite flavour 👍
We've tried them. At first we weren't sure about them, but the more we ate them, the more we liked them!
You can have anything on a buttie, but make sure you use Danish/Lurpak butter
I don't think I've seen it here.
Ready salted with butter and marmite on the bread, fantastic
Ross was right about trying it with Marmite!
I put on any flavoured crisps on a butty,, never heard of Roberts bread,yes Warburtons bread the best.. that’s right, squash the top bread down, crisp butty makes a good tea time meal, with a cup of Yorkshire tea..
ok, so the crisp are correct, but you need Lurpak butter and Warburtons "toastie" loaf, then it is a "proper" crisp butty, enjoy!
butter or marg is okay but you don't need to put the full bag of chips / crisp in the sandwich, cut the sandwich in half and have any drink you want - tea, coffee or a cold drink .
Save part of the bag for snacking!
To soften the butter, just zap it in the microwave for 10 secs (800w). If it's still too firm try a few seconds longer. If your microwave has a higher wattage then nuke it for less time.
To be honest that sounds like a bit of no-no? I’d imagine you’d get an oily liquid on top, and if you digged any deeper it’d still be Hardish??
@@woodentie8815 Believe me it works, but you have to keep an eye on it. If you leave it in for too long it starts to melt. I can only go by my microwave and the least amount of time you can set on it is 10 secs. There are "variables" to take into account - how hard is the butter? What's the power of your microwave (mine is 800w)? How much butter are you putting in the microwave? If it's nearly a full pack it's capable of absorbing more microwaves than for instance less than 100g/2oz. You can't put it in and walk away, you need to give it attention, but it's only for a few seconds anyway. I set mine to 10 secs and maybe watch it countdown and when it gets to 4/5 secs pull it out and gently probe it with a knife. If it's softened to a spreadable consistency, great. If not, then put it back in for 3/4 secs or so. I've always found it tends to soften up from the inside out. Originally I considered setting the microwave to 'defrost', but it defrost's by switching the microwaves on and off. And the period of time they were "on" was greater than 10 secs, so I wasn't gaining any extra control by softening butter on a defrost setting. If your microwave is greater than 800w, obviously it will need less time.
I think our microwave has a setting for softening butter. I should test it out!
@@chrisaskin6144 I must take your word for it. Personally, a long time since I had butter. Use vegetable spreads meself - very easy to apply!🙂
@@woodentie8815 But nowhere near as nice as butter!
I've had a roast beef and mustard flavour crisps on a sandwich Also roast ham flavour crisps lovely
Those sound like interesting flavors!
Both side buttered, cheddar cheese some salad cream though not sure if you have that there so mayo will be fine. Then the crisps 🥰
We have seen salad cream in the import store. So many of people have suggested it, we're going to have to give it a try!
Ready salt Walkers are a must for me ,and you may need to make 2😉
:)
Some people like myself put cheese and cold meat like chicken as well
I think I would prefer that - add a nice crunch.
Tip: crush the crisps in the bag first.
We’d never butter just 1 slice of bread … what would be the point .. one side of your sandwich is going to taste dry. Or I like left over chicken from a roast dinner, buttered bread and crisps on top of the chicken … anything really. Another popular sandwich here is the fish finger sandwich… frozen fish fingers in bread and butter… people like a variety of sauces either just plain malt vinegar drizzled over the fish fingers or tartar sauce or even ketchup is good
The chicken with crisps sounds good. We finally tried a fish finger sandwich too.
