“butt” is used as a term of endearment in Wales. As in “how you doin’ old butt?”

I think you can call almost any sandwich a butty. Assuming you’re under 5 years old that is.

Maybe not a Subway type sandwich though, that’d be weird.

A submarine is definitely a type of sandwich

Was gutted when ‘Getting a Butty’ changed their name to Cygnet Cafe recently. Bad move.

(edit: wrong life stage)

Don’t really get how a butty can be just another term for a sandwich. You wouldn’t say you’re having a butty, and then eat a tuna and sweetcorn? Or an egg mayo?

A butty is a specialist sandwich, served hot, including butter as a primary ingredient. No veg allowed. Ideally in a bap but if made at home with what you’ve got available, white sliced will do (preferably thick). No theatrics - the fewer ingredients and the more basic the butty, the better it is.

As someone from the deep south, I would only ever use ‘butty’ to describe a chips or bacon sandwich of any type, but always thought that in other, more northerly places, it was a cover-all term for any sandwich.

Exactly. Would be a good name for a whippet mind you.

For me its a 90s sandwich shop butty which is anything on a massive barm (or even a soft long roll whatever they’re called) and a classic would be ham and some onion no one asked for and salad cream. Any of that realm of big old flat barms you also get wrapped in cling film

There’s a cornershop on deansgate that are very much a butty shop though salad cream and extreanous onion seem a thing of the past in cities.

But I’d also accept a white bread ham or egg sandwich as long as it was obviously done by your dad in a rush and he squashed it right down with his hands for some reason when cutting it and you can see his finger dents in the bread.

(And if it was hot it would no longer be a butty for me, that’s something fancy i wouldn’t have a term for)
