The chip butty can be vegetarian-friendly if the chips are not fried in lard or dripping.
Usually a meal is served with a round of bread so diners can assemble their own chip butty with leftover chips.
The word butty is used to mean friend or mate.
The butty would also hire and fire the men as required and at a pit like this, between six and 30 men could be employed.
The chip butty was originally considered a working-class meal and was served in pubs.
Let us, therefore, be very cautious before trying to ban burgers and chips or bacon butties.
I refer to the people who provide bacon butties and cups of tea on construction sites.
Does that include chip butties?
