Butty or Buttie is definitely slang for a sandwich in Yorkhire - where I live also.
Can't beat a fish butty, or chip butty.
Sorry though, I do not know it's origins - I would be most interested to keep an eye on this.
Thinking about it, must be slang in Lancashire too - remember Ken Dod and the Diddy men? they worked in "Jam Butty mines"

It isn't a sandwich it is just a buttered slice of bread.
A chip buttie is two slices of buttered bread with chips placed between to make a sandwich.

The kitchens in monasteries were usually called Butteries, as that was also the place butter was churned. Butter is spread on bread...low & behold a buttie!

its just an expasnsion of the name sandwich:- in the US it is called rolls, focaccia, subs (but with different types of bread).
in the UK especially in the north of england they are known informally as butties or sarnies.scotland they are known as pieces.

way back in history people had to thresh their own wheat to make flower such as grinding it between 2 stones which caused alot of small rocks or sand particles to get in the bread so they buttered their sandwiches so they could swallow it easier

Never heard of that. It must be a slang used locally somewhere. Anyone else know? Curious.
