A chip butty, chip sandwich, chip barm, chip batch, chip roll, chip muffin, piece an chips or chip piece (in Scots) is a sandwich made with bread or a bread roll (usually white and buttered) and chips, often with some sort of sauce such as tomato sauce (i.e. ketchup) or brown sauce. The word butty is a contraction of "bread and butter" that came from northern England, perhaps Yorkshire or Liverpool.

Normally with just salt and pepper but sometimes with ketchup.
There are times however, like tonight, when I made seasoned fries. In the manner of crab fries; I took
the fries, sprinkled the with vegetable oil placed them in a bag with my potato rub, It's a rub I use with
baked potatoes. shook the bag up well, the placed the fries on a baking pan and baked them for about
12 minutes. The rub worked really well on the fries as they were good!

I do not like salt (strange I know) so I don't care for them with salt on them but will eat them if salt is already on them (but I have been known to brush the salt off).
A lot of it depends on what else in on my plate. If there is some kind of sauce I will dip the fries in that. I have eaten them with mayo, salad dressing, barbecue sauce, gravy, and whatever. Sometimes I will put ketchup on it-usually on the side, and sometimes I will eat them without anything.

Oh it's definitely real. It varies from brand to brand. Some call it "ketchup" some call it "catsup". For years in the 60s and 70s I remember Hunt's brand was the only one to call it "catsup" and they had commercials on TV with Fred McMurrray ("My Three Sons") who made sure he distinctly pronounced it that way and it sounded odd because no one says it in real life. In more recent times I notice more brands calling it "catsup" but still no one says it that way.

I make my own fries sometimes. I cut the potatoes, then double fry them. Then I add, I don't know what it's called in English, in Hindi it's called mirche (it basically means 'spice', I think it might be a ground red pepper sort of thing) and then I squeeze some lemon citrus and add salt. I call them 'Indian fries', it's better than French! ;D Get your spicy acidic fries while they're hot. 8)
If I'm eating regular fries, I eat them plain or as a poutine (Québécois/Canadian specialty – fries with gravy and cheese curds). :P
