What do you call this edible delight?
Buttie Sarnie Sandwich Something else? And Triangle or Rectangle?
Im a triangle butty person myself btw altho can 'cope' with square butty if its basic ie plastic ham, paste etc The more effort that goes into it increases the probability that it will be triangular. Thoughts?

Am definately in the Buttie Brigade. Always had rectangle cut when i was a kid, we thought only posh people had triangles. It was a revelation when i got married and was served up triangles by the wife. I thought i'd made it! I'd moved up a class! Nah, she shattered my illusions and told me anyone could have triangles. Damn my council estate upbringing ha ha.

Buttie, when I was a kid, a long time ago. Sarnie or doorstep or tram-stopper, when taking lunchbox to work. Sandwich, when Mum made them, or for invited guests now I'm retired. My sandwich toaster starts off square and converts it to 2 triangles. How clever is that! Bri

Remember once when i was about 18 and working on one of Maggies y.o.p. schemes as a builders labourer. My mum had done my carry-out. Yeah, nice one mum, pretty triangles with the crusts cut off... on a building site! What have you got sarnies today Lah-de-dah? was the question every lunchtime for months.

Funny how people 'genderise' buttys tho! At home i'll av a bacon, egg+mushroom doorstoper but in public it would be a 'ham salad' on brown bread-lol-hypothetically speaking!

I call them buttie. I also have square, the missus has triangles. It's too difficult and 'fussy' to eat.

Do you think this comes down to a class/gender thing? A gender thing... Square cut = Male Triangle cut = Female A class thing... Butties = Working class Sarnies = Upper class Jam butties = Working class Salmon and cucumber sandwiches = Upper class Chip butties = Footie fans Prawn sarnies = Corporate hospitality Bacon & egg butty = Builders Parma ham & goats cheese sandwich = Company Chief Exec

Marge/ butter
Batch/ bap/ bun
Salad/ no salad/ tomoto slice

I was down south one time staying with friends, when i asked for a butty to go with my chips i was just met with blank faces. They'd never even heard the word "butty" before. Worse still, they'd never even had chip butties!

Can't eat a portion of chippy chips without a butty, it's just not right. In fact there should be some kind of law forbiding the eating of chippy chips without a butty
