The Chip Butty Perfected In A Scientific Formula
The Chip Butty...
To anyone anywhere that has not tried this British delicacy we urge you to try this, it is a basic staple in some British homes consisting of different ingredients and called different things depending on where in the country you live.
The Chip Butty is just a chip sandwich I hear you cry what is the fuss all about?
Well according to a recent article in the Daily Mail Dr James Hind who works at Nottingham Trent University as a Statistician has developed the formula for the perfect Chip Butty which is based upon a survey by the supermarket brand Iceland.
And here is the magic formula;
C ≥ 3b/4 + k + 3m
Um so what does that all mean exactly?
As per the article this is "......where C is the weight of chips(g), b is the weight of the bread(g), k is the amount of ketchup (ml) and m is the mass of butter (g)".
In short the perfect Chip Butty should consist of "12 thick cut chips, two 40g slices of medium sliced white bread, ketchup and butter – not mayo or margarine".
Sounds straightforward enough to follow and there are some more factors for example the bread needs to be soft and the chips need to be crunchy.
There is even a youtube video which shows you how to make it which you can find at the link below if you need further help!

HOW TO CREATE THE PERFECT CHIP BUTTY
The scientist's step-by-step guide to creating the perfect butty is:
1. Cook thick cut oven chips at 392°F (200°C) for 22 minutes
2. Thinly butter two slices of medium sliced white bread
3. While the chips are freshly cooked, place at least 12 on one slice of buttered bread so that their weight is three quarters that of the bread plus ketchup
4. Squeeze as much ketchup as you like but add more chips to compensate so it doesn't get too cold
5. Place the second slice of bread on top of the still steaming hot chips
6. Allow to cool for at least 30 seconds before enjoying. If it is too hot to hold, it is too hot to eat.
