a type of processed filler of "meat" that comes in squares the same size as bagged bread! (no offense intended!) That's about it. It's just a name for a class of food-like substances. You can certainly make sandwiches without "sandwich meat". You can take a turkey carcase, slice off some breast meat, and put it between a couple of slices of bread along with whatever else you want in there. You can do a lot of things.

re: chip butties
Jo, one of our early Members, writes to me today:
A word in daily use!
The clue is in the diminutive, it's a pared down sandwich with just the essentials. It especially applies to a bacon butty or buttie. In Manchester the chip butty (fries not what we call crisps) rules supreme.
A butty is a thin sandwich with/without butter and tomato ketchup. It's a breakfast or a snack at lunchtime or later, say after the pub.
A clever American-style sandwich, like a BLT with layers and posh ingredients like mayonnaise is definitely not a butty!

In Québec, prior to the 1960s and the revolution against the church, people used to eat a thing called a guedille on Fridays. It was a hotdog bun without the sausage, stuffed with french-fries and all the trimming usually eaten with a hotdog. That was because the Catholic church did not allow them to eat meat on Fridays.

Yes Bex, I'd like to order the upper meal, just fish and chips. Wonderful. But suffocating good chips between two layers of dry bread? Criminal.
