Um, yes, apparently. Cheap, hot, filling. I've never had one. I wouldn't describe brown sauce as gravy but it could perhaps be lost in translation. Brown sauce is a condiment, from a bottle. For some, it's a component of the full cooked breakfast. I haven't ever had brown sauce either.
N.B. 'chip' is deep-fried potato finger - French fry in NAm Eng?
'Butty' is Northern English for 'sandwich', derived from buttered bread. 'Chip butty' used to be Northern food but is now possibly more widespread.
You can also have 'crisp butty'. Crisp = NAm Eng chip. So it's a chip sandwich.
My advice to you all, never having eaten either, is
steer clear.
Am just looking up Elizabeth George. ... Extraordinary. I must read one to see how 'right' it feels.
Kind of OK here. There's a lot of furniture and crockery and other logistics in my life at present but that should have washed through by Sunday.
