Regional variations
editCrisp sandwiches are also called piece and crisps (in Scottish English),[2] chippy sandwich (in Australian English), chip sandwich, crispwich,[3] crisp sarnie, crisp butty, or crip sambo. They are popular in the United Kingdom[4][5][6][7] and Ireland.[8][9][10] In 2015, crisp sandwich shops opened in Belfast[11][12] and West Yorkshire,[13] both of which claim to be the world's first.[citation needed]
In Ireland, crisp sandwiches are also often called Tayto sandwiches in reference to the popular Irish crisp brand and its Northern Irish counterpart. The Irish airline Aer Lingus offered a Tayto sandwich pack as part of their in-flight menu from 2015 to 2016.[14][15][16] In 2015, a pop-up shop was opened by Tayto in Dublin to raise funds for charity,[17] and a similar shop was opened for December 2016.[18] In 2018, the sandwiches were offered through Deliveroo for a limited period.[19] An Irish pub in New York City sells an adaptation of the crisp sandwich as part of its Irish menu.[20]
In the United States, the potato chip sandwich has been around since at least the 1950s.[21]
25 October has been named as 'Crisp Sandwich Day' due to it being Saint Crispins Day.[22][23][24]
International variations
editSandwiches or wraps made using crushed crisps of the Chips Oman brand are part of the popular food culture of the United Arab Emirates.[25][26]
