Whatsa barm? Is it a bun, a warm bun perrrraps?
A chip WHAT?
Possibly the most anemic sandwich I've ever seen.
I'm of out to get some chips, power to the people!
ITS A ****ING MUFFIN!
Death to the infidels.

Chip barm? oven bottom maybe
Roll and chips. With a fritter. and Broon sauce.
Dirty. 😈
That my friend is an (over-filled) chip muffin. Not seeing a lot of butter either. Assuming the brown sauce is out of shot?
Chip barm? NOooooo
Wigan Kebab on the other hand (as per image above), much better.
edit - like this. Chips on the side. They are not the main event 😈 😉

pie/pasty barms are wrong, pastry is basically a delivery mechanism for the filling, it allows you to hold it while eating and offers some protection in transit (in your camelbak or whilst walking down the high street) Much the same as a sandwich, so it's basically duplication of effort and diluting the filling/casing ratio.
Only time you should want bread with a "pie" would be if it was one of those top crust only affairs, but those don't count as pies.
Chip barms are awesome, but as rocket mentions HtS's barm is looking a bit dry, needs butter, ketchup (or salad cream according to my mrs) or a tub of gravy/curry sauce to dip in/pour on (the latter is detrimental to the mobility options tho)

In [i]principle[/i] you're correct. Practical experience however is something else. There no good reason to put a pie in a bread roll.... other than the result being magnificent.
I've lived in 4 different towns in my life - each one of them has a different word for that thing up there.
Being from Radcliffe I prefer the term "chip muffin".
Anyone that says muffin is a cake can f*** off back to America.

Nudger?

Wrong
no matter what you call it, it needs more butter, more sauce, more salt, more grease and maybe, just maybe a few scraps.... nom.
Got a steak in the fridge for tea. It's looking pretty 2nd rate after reading this.

Maybe in some parallel universe, but not the one I'm in.
You'll be saying that a stew in one of those earthenware dishes with a pastry lid is a pie next. After all, the pastry is *just* a delivery mechanism. Pastry my friend, is what makes a pie a great event.
Chib bams?
Quite common here in Glasgow, but do we really want to encourage vigilantes?
Should the UK public have the right to chip barms?
Nope, but I'd vote for a right to a chip [u]cob[/u] as any normal person would say.
i used to enjoy a M&S chicken and cream sauce pie in a roll.
ate them for years, despite protestations from the first mrs mac (you'll burn yourself)
then one day, i bit into it a little early and burnt the roof of my mouth 'aaargh'
i took it away from my mouth, and the sauce spilled out, getting me on my bare wrist 'aaargh'
i then put it into my other hand, and it spilled out and got me on the other wrist too 'F** H' at full volume.
it totally cured me from eating a pie like that, not because of the burns, but due to the fact that for about 3 weeks after the incident, anytime there was a lull in conversation, my 2 yr old daughter would say 'ah, ah, kin ell'
i was mortified.
Thought this was going to be a thread about electronic tracking for keeping an eye on the whereabouts of English cricket fans
It'd be a chip cob here too. mmmm, chips.....
A pie in a cob is pointless.
Pie should be with chips, peas and gravy, and the bread used to make a chip butty and to soak up excess gravy.
That is the way it has always been. I have spoken.
Barm, batch, cob, bun, muffin, butty, stottie, bap, teacake, breadcake, roll, oven bottom, scuffler, whaaateva.
I want one! Not that one above though cos it looks crap.
Are we allowed to squash the bap down?
Can we use marg instead of butter?
What happens to people who use mayo (or brown sauce 👿 )?
What is the recommend chip length to width ratio?
Oven chips of fried?
Veg oil or lard?
These questions need answers

Are we allowed to squash the bap down?
Yes, this shows it's properly filled to the max
Can we use marg instead of butter?
It's easier to spread and doesn't rip the bread apart
What happens to people who use mayo (or brown sauce )?
If you use mayo you're Belgian. 'Brown sauce' is the devils work, only real HP Sauce is acceptable.
What is the recommend chip length to width ratio?
5:1 to 10:1
Oven chips of fried?
Whatever is available. Oven chips are pretty good these days. 'Fries' are, again, the spawn of Beelzebub
Veg oil or lard?
How good's your heart..?
Oven chips or fried
Oven chips! 😯 get out! and take your marg with you..

Even though you are my brother and we come from the same place in the UK and should share the same values, I cannot agree with you.
You have pledged your allegiance to the south, mine is to the North. I have witnessed many many food miracles in the north. Hot pork pie, mushy peas and mint sauce. Chips and curry sauce. Pies so large you gasp at their enormity. Yorkshire puddings with everything. So many sausages everywhere it makes you weep. And we haven't even got onto the myriad of traditional butchers dealing out their own brands of pork pies made with secret ingredients like crack cocaine to the masses. Curd tart (vile but I respect the passion for it), white pudding, beef dripping sold everywhere. Never being more than 2 minutes walk from a Greggs. So many food places where the owners are openly hostile to their customers but it doesn't matter because the food is so good you'd crawl over broken glass naked to get it. Pork scratching stage size of your arm (and a lot hairier), gravy so thick you can mortar bricks with it. For crying out loud there's even a Rhubarb Triangle to provide fruit for massive crumbles all year round. Being served tea with an extra pot of hot water at EVERY tea shop (I think environmental health close them down if they don't round here).
However, I do have to agree it should be called a cob. I just can't get used to calling them baps! 😉
There's no need for marg in any context, but particularly not in a chip barm. Butter, LOTS of salt and vinegar, tomato sauce and as many chips as you can squash in there. It's the only way.

Yeah why not?
I've never been that bothered about butter TBH*. S'okay I suppose but you can't taste the difference in a decent sandwich**
* Except in a baked potato
**If you can, may I suggest you take a long, hard look at your choice of fillings....
Apparently thEeeyeu wants fer tban the chippy butty due to carb overloading .......fact !
Is this allowed ?

It's on sliced white
No, no it isn't.
Neither. Beef dripping FTW.Veg oil or lard?
Bap wedged with chips, way too much butter and salt & vinegar topped with ketchup sounds wonderful at the moment.
And I've just finished one of Mrs. Pinkster's near perfect chicken casseroles.
Shouldn't you have mule with a muffin
Jesus Harold Christ on a pogo stick. STW has had its share of ill-informed, offensive threads over the years, but on the back of this I've half a mind to life-ban three quarters of the posters on this thread. WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
I'm going to flounce off to bed right now but I want you all to have a good long think about what you've done. I'll be back in the morning and there will be a test.

May I suggest you're not using enough butter.
1) butter doesn't tear the bread apart, just slice it and put it on, if it couldn't be mistaken for a hunk of cheese from a few paces you're doing it wrong.
2) a proper amount of butter will also serve to prevent the half pint of vinegar from soaking into the bread cake and causing it to dissolve, rather like a tasty wax jacket for your dinner.
Amen to beef dripping and enough salt to make your chips look furry.
Butter spreads just fine if you don't keep it in the fridge, should be in a nice butter dish in a cold area.
Although slices of cold butter ARE awesome!
Margarine!? Just, no! It's made of plastic!
Apparently thEeeyeu wants fer tban the chippy butty due to carb overloading .......fact !
what a load of bollocks. who told you that?
Might be the WHO's advice on trans-fats and then Denmark, Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland's response to limit them. Unaware that this was to extend further.
Anyway, lard, dripping, butter etc is ok. It's the veg oils that are no good I think.
This might all be bollocks anyway, so I reckon chip butties/barms/baps/muffins are safe.
I specifically commented on that bit of missellingYou'll be saying that a stew in one of those earthenware dishes with a pastry lid is a pie next.
Woah woah, did you see a [i]just[/i] in my post, no you didn't. My point was that pastry is a delivery mechanism so it doesn't need another one (bread - if you spin it around I'm very doubtful you would find anyone suggesting a sandwich pie even amongst some of the reprobates on this thread) Good pastry is also damn tasty but is still an [i]accompaniment[/i] to the filling and the filling:pastry ratio should always be generous.After all, the pastry is *just* a delivery mechanism.
my dad used that method to assemble his post nightshift cheese crackers, cheese sliced only slightly thicker than the butter. Unsurprisingly he isn't allowed these anymore.1) butter doesn't tear the bread apart, just slice it and put it on, if it couldn't be mistaken for a hunk of cheese from a few paces you're doing it wrong.

But without the soft medium of butter to squash them into, surely either the crackers break or the pickled onions just roll off?
Well, whatever.
In about ten minutes I'm off for the only thing I look forward to during the working week (other than going home in the evening and the Wednesday night ride) - that's right - Steak and Kidney Pie & Chips for lunch on a Friday.
No cobs, but the chippy we frequent is particularly good in my opinion.
I'll spend the afternoon semi-conscious as a result - just how I like it.
You can not seriously buy a pie from a chip shop?!?
Battered haddock or cod (depending on how keen you are on bottom feeders - cod seems popular in that there "the south", coincidence?). Fish cake maybe so long as it's the proper fish fillet sandwiched betwixt two thick slices of potato, battered and deep fried (rather good in a bun). A battered sausage at a push. But not a pie, I bet it's not even pan fried let alone deep fried in dripping.
Heretic.

Pfft!
Have you ever been to Glasgow?
Standard deep fried delights include ( excluding fish)
Battered sausage
Smoked Sausage
Scotch Pie
Steak Pie
Battered Haggis
Battered Hamburger
Whole Chicken
Half Chicken
Battered Black pudding
Deep fried Pizza ( Whole or half )
Battered Deep fried pizza ( a.k.a Pizza crunch)
That's not including the exotica such as the apocryphal Mars Bar and the notorious Stonner.
Chip butty dissassemblage is go!

Should Scotland have the right to chip bams?
Woah woah, did you see a just in my post, no you didn't. My point was that pastry is a delivery mechanism
No, you're right on that point, and I'm duly chastised for adding my own just for effect.
However, while you may have not specifically dissed the pastry, you haven't shown the pastry the reverence it deserves in describing it as merely a delivery mechanism. Especially when it's got beef and kidney juice soaked into it.
Those chips in the original photo need at least another minute. Golden Brown not flaccid pale.
S&V (or sawss) - ffs do it yourself, chippy servers never put enough on no matter how much you emphasise 'LOTS'.
According to Wiki, the bread has to be 'White and butterd'!
