Be Excellent To Each Other

As a kid, along side more "normal" buttwhiches, I liked making both banana and crisp sarnies. So: Which is a better butty?

I found that a banana and pickled onion monster munch sarnie was king. So, both.

Crisp. Both are excellent, obv. Bet I haven't had a banana butty in 15 years... (probably had a crisp butty in the last month).

That all depends on whether or not you're buttering the slices of bread. Buttering chip, cheese or crisp butties is a truly deviant practice. I can't quite remember what's best for bananas...

A crisp butty is most magnificent, but a banana butty, with buttered bread and sliced (not mushed) banana is the food of the Gods.

Are crisps/bananas the only ingredient? If so, banana wins hands down.

If, however, you're allowing chocolate spread and peanut butter on the crisp butty, I'd have to kill anyone choosing the banana one.

Big pickled onion monster munch was ace on many sandwiches.

Whaaaaaaat?! Chip or crisp butties without butter are a disappointing proposition indeed.

Crisp butties with cheese spread instead of butter = delightful culinary experience.

A chip butty without butter? Sacrilege! The chips just melt the butter and...mmm...

My mum used to make them with slices of potato, instead of normal shaped chips (think crisps only much thicker), and really crusty rolls, and proper butter (not spread).

Banana sandwiches are ace, particularly with maple syrup.

I agree. Chip, Crisp and Banana sarnies all require butter (or some form of faux-butter spread). I had a banana butty this morning. I shall buy some crisps later and make an grand meal from them. Then I shall lay down the final judgement.


Question: What flavour crisps are bests? I've seen a few monster munch recommendations, but what about the traditionally shaped crisp?

Good old salt & vinegar make fine butties, I find. McCoys or Discos if poss. Prawn cocktail is also a good butty-crisp.

I'll often add half my packet of crisps into my butty at lunch time at work.

Best combo so far: Flaming hot monster munch on Ham cheese & Mayo.

Mmmmmmmsloooooooooorrrrrpz

If it ain't chips, it's a sandwich not a butty, freaks. Also, butter, yes. The clue's in the name.

Nah, microwaved cheese and Worcestershire sauce sarnies FTW

Crisp sandwich with butter > all. It is the only use for those bloody pointless ready salted ones, for a start.

What? An unpowered boat towed on the British canal system? How the heck am I supposed to get that in between two slices of bread?

Use very big slices?

You're all a bunch of butty boys.

Lets be honest the best sarnie in the world is bacon. End fucking of.

Duh.

My friend used to make a peanut butter sandwich.

Where he got two thick slices of hand carved white bread. Coated them in a thick layer of lurpak. And then push dry roasted peanuts into the butter.

Each one would knock at least a fortnight of your life, but god they were amazing.
