DH has just handed me a bacon butty with no butter

[whohaa]

It's just bacon and dry bread. I'm flabbergasted.

Why has nobody mentioned mayonnaise?

Because we have souls thefuriousfuggler, souls.

Put the butter in the hot pan after taking the bacon out and dip the bread in that. Glory.

Completely off topic of the whole thread but is “butty” really short for “buttered sandwich”???
I never knew! I thought it was just any old sandwich, dry, buttered or mayonaised. Wow!

@Ella1980 I'm from brum and always have butter!

He's right. You don't need butter, bacon has enough grease.

If it’s decent quality bacon, nice and crispy then yes you absolutely need a bit of butter, especially with thick bread. Nom

Stand by. MustardScreams has just upped the ante. Dipping the roll in melted bacony butter you say? 😋

He said he's always eaten them without butter. We've been together 8 years! 8 years he's hidden this from me.

Argh butter on bread 🤢
Noooo. So wrong
Brown sauce. HP..spread very thinly

I’d never eat a bacon sandwich without butter. Yuck

Yuck! No butter

I'd have thrown it in the bin!

No HP sauce, has yo be ketchup.

I like my bacon sandwiches thus:

Bread
Butter
Bacon
Butter
Bread.

I now live in a city, and manage a cafe, where a bacon sandwich is served on toast as the norm.

My partner knows my disdain for a toasted bacon sandwich (it hurts the roof of my mouth, special snowflake that I am) yet this weekend just gone, he made many, many sandwiches of 'bacon on' (shorthand for bacon on toast apparently!) and, and, and... he PUT CHEESE ON THEM!

I did my best but no, I will be making The bacon sandwiches in our house henceforth. (His on toast, with cheese, because I'm aware that he likes them like that- mine on bread with no cheese because I am not a psychopath)

@RedForShort is this why I can't see my reflection in the hall mirror then? Thank goodness - I thought I was just a bit of a housekeeping slattern

Leave him

Surely the butter dripping down your fingers is one of the best bits!

I had to laugh at my Db on the weekend. He came home from work and made himself a bacon sarnie. The bread was completely dysfunctional, it did not hold the bacon and just fell to pieces as he tried to eat said sandwich. I hope this occurred as he had not applied the requisite butter to glue it all together

That's what dh and Dd have, as do pretty much all our bacon eating friends. They never have butter in sausage or bacon butties.

I love butty so have butter on all sandwiches, though I don't actually eat bacon.

They do have brown sauce or ketchup though - not totally dry bread

Yes thefuriousfuggler that'll be it. Mayonnaise!!! Can't say I'm suprised you've no reflection. Not in the slightest.

😃

If you fry one side of the bread in the bacon dripping you don't need slimy butter HTH

No butter.

Bacon dip, and/or lots of fried or grilled cherry tomatoes mashed into the bread.

Tomatoes? Add a egg if you must but no tomatoes!

Gotta have a bitta butter.

A most excellent thread.

I have my bacon butties with butter.

The rest of my heathen family have no butter and copious amount of ketchup. My dh corrupted the children when they were young and I was unable to turn them away from the dark side. On their heads be it. Tsk.
