A crisp sandwich is a super simple and yummy sandwich! It's made by putting potato crisps (also known as potato chips) between two slices of bread. You can add other things like butter or sauces, but the main star is always the crunchy crisps!
What is a Crisp Sandwich?
A crisp sandwich is a popular snack or meal. It's basically a sandwich with potato crisps inside. People often add butter or other spreads to the bread. The best part is the satisfying crunch when you bite into it!
These sandwiches are known by different names around the world:
- In the United Kingdom and Ireland, it's usually called a crisp sandwich.
- In Scotland, people might say piece and crisps.
- In Australia, it's sometimes called a chippy sandwich.
- Other fun names include chipwich, crisp sarnie, crisp butty, or crip sambo.
Many people believe the crisp sandwich first became popular in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In 2015, special shops that only sold crisp sandwiches opened in Belfast and West Yorkshire. Both claimed to be the first of their kind in the world!
Tayto: A Famous Crisp Sandwich Brand
In Ireland, crisp sandwiches are often called Tayto sandwiches. This is because Tayto is a very popular brand of crisps there. There are two main Tayto companies: one in the Republic of Ireland and another in Northern Ireland.
The Irish airline Aer Lingus even offered a special Tayto sandwich pack on their flights for a while, from 2015 to 2016.
Tayto has also done some fun things to celebrate their sandwiches:
- In 2015, Tayto opened a special pop-up shop in Dublin. It was only open for a short time and helped raise money for charity.
- Another similar shop opened in December 2016.
- In 2018, you could even order Tayto sandwiches through Deliveroo for a limited time.
Crisp sandwiches are so popular that an Irish pub in New York City sells its own version. It's part of their special Irish menu for people who miss a taste of home!
