What never! Go get one THIS instant! LOL.. It's pretty easy, white bread with Bacon cooked well inside.. you can add all sorts of other stuff too, like tomato ketchup, HP sauce, etc and I am sure there are posh recipes, but that's how I like it. Oh and NOT American bacon  (that stuff is too thin and wispy LOL) But thick cut Danish bacon, smoked or unsmoked - your choice! OK I found this
What Makes the Perfect Bacon Butty
Hunger. Always smells and tastes so much better when you are hungry.
The place. It is almost rude not to eat bacon on a Sunday morning (outside in the rain if away camping or at a festival. And, always on holiday, especially in the UK.
White sliced, bread: Brown bread is too assertive, whereas the thickness of sliced white is in correct proportion to the thickness of a bacon rasher. This balance means the bread contains the bacon without swamping it and has it has little flavour, does not distract from the pork taste. Also, the bread should be lightly smeared with butter or better still, "mucky fat" (see later).
The bacon: The bacon can be streaky, back bacon, smoked or not but and must be from outdoor-reared, preferably organic pigs; which means there is no shrinkage in the pan, no 'white-stuff' just well flavoured, juicy bacon. Buying the best you can afford really does pay off with bacon.
Fried not grilled: I know this will set the health-police screaming but frying several slices in the same pan requires little additional fat as the bacon renders its own. And, when the edges of the bacon caramelise with the frying, it creates that most delicious extra flavouring for the butty - mucky fat.
To Round it Off: Brown sauce: not tomato; to drink, tea; it must be on a plate and with a paper napkin. Some may say that toasting the bread, ketchup, grilling, maple syrup, marmalade and mayo work better.
Oh wow, now I want one LOL! |

Hahaha sounds as ritual as a Japanese tea ceremony.
I'll have to try that, haven't even tasted HP sauce lol. I wonder if our bacon is OK, only one kind here: thin, smoked and streaky. I think I need a food trip to the UK, lots of things to try.

Hadn't planned any dinner, didn't want to cook, opened the door to go to the supermarket and there was the Vegan Schmegan foodtruck  Fried eggplant, potato, chick peas, veggies and sauce in a delicious pita roll. Yum yum! Btw, isn't Vegan Schmegan a weird name when they are vegan? Isn't it kinda contradictory? lol language nerd. |

And delicious. Isn't it Jamie Oliver who talks a lot about sarnies lol.
