Bacon butty, is between two slices of bread!

Yes?

I'm not voting, it could be either. What about a bacon barm?

shellyleppard · 04/06/2025 15:48

Also think it depends on where you live...... I use bread its a sarnie, bread roll its a bacon cob or roll. I'm in Derbyshire lol. I'm now in the mood for a bacon sandwich 😂😂

@ButteredRadishes isn't a barm a type of bread roll 🤔

Rainytoday · 04/06/2025 15:50

I wouldn’t call it a bacon butty so not sure.

PinkTonic · 04/06/2025 15:50

It needn’t be sliced but it must be white. Can be bloomer, French stick or soft or crusty roll.

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 04/06/2025 15:50

It could be sliced bread or a cob, so I'm not voting. A bacon butty is just a turn of phrase and isn't that specific.

RampantIvy · 04/06/2025 15:51

Round here it is served in a breadcake (Yorkshire)

BananaSpanner · 04/06/2025 15:52

Agree. A butty is a sandwich which is sliced bread. A bacon bap/roll is not a butty.

MoistVonL · 04/06/2025 15:54

A bacon butty is any type of sliced bread, roll, barm, bap, bun, local-dialect-word-of-choice with bacon in it.

Just like a chip butty.

lalaloopyhead · 04/06/2025 15:55

I think I would expect a butty to be between 2 slices of bread, I'd use the term butty to mean sandwich. Bacon in a roll is a bacon roll obviously.

Did this transgression occur in a cafe or a private dwellling?

Want a chip butty right now!!

BethDuttonYeHaw · 04/06/2025 16:06

a ‘bacon roll’ is on a roll - preferably morning roll or well fired roll

a ‘bacon piece’ is 2 slices of bread

none of your buttys or barms or baps 🤣

I'm not sure how I've got to 36 and never had a chip butty!

MidnightPatrol · 04/06/2025 16:08

I am flexible on this, so long as the bread is nice and soft.

Jobwelldone · 04/06/2025 16:49

My ultimate bacon sandwich is crispy bacon and cheap white sliced bread with lashings of Worcestershire sauce.

Otherwise any other bread product is acceptable.

Lindajonesjustcantlivemylife · 04/06/2025 17:46

A white softie.

ExtensivelyDecluttering · 04/06/2025 17:55

My only rule is No Sauce. Bacon and bread is perfection just as it is.

And butter! it must have butter 🙂

Ah, you want to start a bunfight

Hell no. Fat from dry cured bacon grilled or cooked in the oven only. Please ketchup.

ExtensivelyDecluttering · 04/06/2025 19:45

Rule no 2 - No Butter. Dip the bread in the pan instead. Never butter though.

user2848502016 · 04/06/2025 19:49

Agreed - although a bacon in a bread roll is a bacon bap!

KIlliePieMyOhMy · 04/06/2025 19:57

A well-fired roll, butter, bacon, square sausage and brown sauce.
