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.

Pmsl. My fella's the same! He finks triangles are posh and wont eat them!! I always had square as a kid too so maybe i think im getting one over me mum?!
Used to work in a bupa run nursing home as a waitress-they wud go a step TOO FAR and do quarter triangles wiv no crusts, standin up wiv a bit of cress+ tömato!? Bit much that like.

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!

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.

nooooo! Lol.
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!

Butty = singular
Butties = plural

Pasty, pasties; curry, curries... I'm off to the kitchen! ..

ive been a greedy cow tonite. Cheese+ red onion butty (with the ova half shouting thru 'dont be cutting mine into fookin triangles' hence this post). Then i had a cornetto. It was very nice so i had anuva one.

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

I deffo agree with you there! I did a reply earlier on the same lines but got 'error' and so didnt go in. Cudnt be arsed re writing....
Deffo a 'divide' re butties/ sandwiches
Male/ female
North/ south
Posh/ pov
Theres a social experiment in here somewhere?

Lets elaborate-
Brown/ white/ wholemeal/ granuler

Marge/ butter

Batch/ bap/ bun

Salad/ no salad/ tomoto slice

So on and so forth...

Lol

It seems fellas favour square. Ladios- triangle altho this is not conclusive by any means!

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!

Noooo! They not lived. Esp chippy chips. Yumyum

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

I agree. Gotta be rathbones though... I would prefer to pre-prepare to butter me own bread b4 the chippy run.
Im not payin 30p for a half-arsed 'hacked to death' batch 'buttered' with a 3kg tub sized bit of the shittest, cheapest, nastiest bit of marge... Grim, indeed.
Clover-i like it x

omg, am hungry now lol. I call it a butty and prefer triangles, other half prefers squares. I think it`s so we `ladies` can take a nibble out of the butty on a corner without looking like a pig. Guys just tuck in any old how. When alone tho I prefer a nice crusty baguette filled with egg mayo salad and it goes everywhere. Chip butties rule! Proper butter, hot chips and the juice running out the end so (if you`re not in company) you can lick it off your hand/wrist. lmao. Too much info!

Now....toast!
Love toast 'ate in its entirety'. Halve squares or triangles-nah, the full piece of bread.
Rathbones dusnt fit in the toaster tho-always have that half inch of 'warm bread' at the top.
I like hot+ cold toast, slightly burnt wiv decent 'spread' ie clover
In an ideal world it wud be real butter but i dont wanna be a lard-arsee.. Plus i get heartburn so i reign meself in....most of the time.

Hey Rude, i'm guessin you don't buy buttered batch from the chippy, not sure how i'm workin that one out

Omg! Butter on the wrist- STOP!! NOW!! Lol

O...k.... Garlic breads gone in... 'cut them out' of bag....smeared them in 'soft cheese', back in the bag and good to go in 17 minutes.... B-)

Need to raid freezer and find a stray garlic bread. Thanks rude lol.

That proves I'm defo male and working class, though not a builder!

Höld the soft cheese- one idea best left in the brain-not the bread!!
Ruined a garlic bread- the dogs liked it tho!

my snack is treble Decker with the lot on it cheese/meat/tuna all salad /salad cream/pack crisps/ mustard/ its like putting two sandwich together less one slice of bread. I have 2 of them?

Why arent you 'large'? its not fair!!

'egg n cress' theres a funny one. Wudnt buy a egg butty wiv no cress. However, have no qualms about doing me own egg butty-not arsed no cress?!
And it would be square.
With cress-triangle!
Deffo a class thing this butty/sandwich thing
And as for your 'snack' joe-no idea!! Lol.

lmao. Went into bhs in l`pool last week and spent £3 on an egg butty (with cress and mayo) AND! the crusts where cut off! WTF!? for £3 I want the blooming crusts!

I never stop dont put oz on in weight?
my sunday dinner.

£3!! No crusts!! You must have been hungry, girl!! Lol

OMG!! Massive dinner! With pudna! And a can, to boot. Lol

just spotted the bread!! Lol. Plus1 has bread wiv everything as well- well done mrs k.p, looks a nice dinner-last me for a week [am assuming mrs kp did it-or ya mum]!

I've just had a lovely kebab....give us a kiss Rudey!! hahaha

I think they were pulling your plonker - everyone knows what a chip butty is.

...southern blerts. They know nuffin....!!

Butty it is, also those who call it a wedge up know what they are on about. Doorstep is another good 'un, all good northern expressions. The good thing is that you can wedge anything up, mashed spuds, cabbage, beans, anything. I still can't resist wiping my roll around a good bit of gravy when I go to big do's, saves the staff washing the plate. I get some funny looks sometimes but I think they're jealous 'cos they haven't the bottle.

eat my food with a spoon or fingers were ever i go, never use knife/fork.the missus calls me a pig. why is that ,because you are.you do it i said wen is that smarty pants?
every time were out, we get fish/chips use your fingers to eat
no argument!goes at me for licking gravy off plate thou.

Butties FTW

Triangles look good, but they require 2 hands to stop the filling falling out. I just cut them in 1/2

Depends where I am, what I call it. In the presence of fellow northerners its a butty. In the presence of shandy-drinkin' southerners, its a sandwich

Don't mind triangle or rectangle, so long as both slices of bread have been buttered (even if its a bacon sandwich Bring on the lard ).

eat my food with a spoon or fingers were ever i go, never use knife/fork.the missus calls me a pig. why is that ,because you are.you do it i said wen is that smarty pants?

Can't eat a kipper or grilled fish at a BBQ with a knife and fork, it's more fun with the fingers anyway, it improves the taste 2000 per cent.

The corners should be buttered also. in Scotland they call it a piece, Example, a piece and cheese.

Talking of butties, how come a piece of bread is called a "round"? I was always asked how many rounds of bread i wanted with my tea

My guess is because bread hasn't always been square, I think square bread only came out when ham or corned dog came in square tins. If I'm wrong someone will tell me.

Don't know about the corned dog bit, a guess would be it was first baked round shaped.

So 'packing a piece' in Scotland is just another way of saying you are carrying a sandwich?

Didn't expect you to bite bert.

Brings a whole new meaning to "Club Sandwich"

Is that a baguette in your pocket or are you happy to see me.

Its a bloomer

Alright, there's no need to get a cob on.

Your a silly old bap

Don't get crusty with me bert

It wasn't aimed at you Bandy, you got in the way, blue on blue I'm afraid sir. Wasn't using my loaf.

Just had some blue with crackers bert and apart from that a blue on blue on this site is a better craique, I wasn't trying to toast you.

Thanks Bandy, i know you wouldn't wish me Brown Bread.

I know bert, let's start again, all bran new

loosely speaking

I thought it was getting crumby but it's picking up a little again.

I'll toast to that!

Verbal diarrhoea?

Have you got a dictionary there snooze?

Yes Would you like to borrow it? Here you go: http://dictionary.reference.com/

So kind, tis just that there are some words I can't spell off the top of my head and that die diu dier shits, is one of 'em

I got as far as diarrh but couldn't remember the order of the last letters.

Its shit when that happens.

I got as far as that too but had to dash off.......

Two pieces of bread with edible filling ?

Did you know that diarrhea is inheritary?

It runs in your....jeans (genes)

I know my dad used to give me the shits sometimes.

i was wondering why there was a spoon, not a knife+ fork with the pic of your dinner? Lol

It was only a couple of years ago that I found out why a fried egg sarnie was called an egg banjo...............






It's cos when you bite into it and the yolk runs down your shirt - the wiping away motion looks like you're playing the banjo

Never heard of that one! True tho lol

i prefer a nice big stuffed "nudger" myself...bacon,black pudding ,two eggs ,sausage and ulster fry,bit of fried onion and lashings of mustard.
