A butty here here in one of a pair. If you had lost a sock, you could say,”where’s the butty to this one?”
People call their mates “butty” or even “but”!0 -

Can you imagine how great it would be if you had a sandwich toaster that didn't cut your toastie in half but just sealed the bread around the edges. You could put one slice of bread in, squash it down to make a hollow in the centre, crack an egg in it, put the other slice of bread on top, and cook. You'd have lovely golden crispy toasted bread with a perfectly cooked egg inside.
I feel there is a gap in the market for this, I must phone a toasted sandwich manufacturer immediately.0 -

"Butty" must be where the American "buddy" came from, I would never have thought that it was Welsh originally!0

Boet pronounced (almost) But, Afrikaans for brother, from a Flemish/Dutch regional dialect of long ago.
Boetie means little brother. Probably American 'Buddy' is from same word. Seems very likely connected with butties because you need two slices, the base with filling, then the 'buddy' on top.
Medieval meals would have the bread as base, meat stew on top, then the gravy, juices etc would soak in and soften the bread, which in those days was not soft, sliced Mother's Pride.0 -

Told the lady what i wanted, called it a bun, she said oh you mean a "barmcake".
I looked at her for a second thinking is this lady taking the piddle out of me or what. No i mean a bun. She maintained, "barmcake".
Ok then, whatever makes you feel better, i'll have it
Had never heard of it before ever & this town is only 5 miles away. I've only ever heard of it used in that town too.

I`m from Liverpool where the buttie was invented, often jam butties then, after school or a posh ham buttie for tea. A sandwich, just a plain sandwich then. If it had lettuce on it was posh. We children had jam butties in a paper bag when we went out for the day
My hubby always refers to it as "best ham"LBM 11/06/2010: DFD 30/04/2013Total repaid: £10,490.310
