About the minimum number of bacon rashers per sandwich?

[Welshmaenad]

Informed Dh I had bought a second pack of bacon for tomorrow's breakfast, as if we want two sandwiches each 8 rashers was not enough.

He stated that two rashers per sandwich is enough. I claim that three, minimum, is an acceptable amount.

He says I'm wasteful. I say there's no sense in eating a sandwich that is more bread than filling, especially where bacon is concerned.

Who is BU?

[Welshmaenad]

Always, always smoked.

I think DH would leave me if I bought unsmoked bacon. I bought an unsmoked gammon joint by mistake one and the desolation on his face was heartbreaking.

Minimum 3, maximum 5.

Daddies sauce, grilled tomato or fried egg.

crusty bread, butter.

[KoalaDownUnder]

I can't remember the last time I had a bacon sandwich. Many years, anyway.

I want one so badly after reading this thread. And it is 10:30 pm on a Sunday.

[CatchIt]

Obviously it has to be streaky bacon, minimum of 4, no maximum, chopped up for evenness & tommy k. It's essential to dip crusts in the leftover bacon fat in the pan.

That's the only way to have a bacon sandwich. Fact.

I am currently eating a bacon sandwich. 3 rashers, although the fat has been cut off. No butter. Ketchup. Warburtons toastie bread. Bacon fried, then the bread placed into the pan to soak up the fat, yummy!

Just coming back to this thread, thanks to it I have enjoyed bacon butties every morning this week-2 well done slices of bacon in each small wholemeal roll.
Now I want one with stilton in-mmmmmm

I judge people who are stingy with sandwich fillings if they're not skint.

We just had 14 rashers between 5 of us.
How v average of us

Grilling, never frying.

We love the M&S outdoor reared smoked back bacon, grilled till crisp, in (real butter) buttered fresh white bread, just butter for me and dd, ketchup for dh. 2 rashers per sandwich laid top to toe and it's perfect!

We also love M&S outdoor reared streaky bacon, grilled till very crispy but that is served with pancakes and maple syrup. In fact I am about to make this for dd right now for lunch. I am on a cut-back so I will be having soup and oatcakes with a sliver of cheese

I notice a lot of you mention frying the bacon? I NEVER, EVER fry bacon or sausages, always always always grill them - you get a far crispier result that way. I do very occassionally cook sausages, esp cocktail ones in the oven though.

So.....where do you stand on frying or grilling?

3
2 is a bit stingy.
DH likes unsmoked... I think smoked is better... any thoughts?
I am now trying to decide if I prefer bacon or sausage sandwiches...

[ZeddyByeBye]

A good bacon sarnie needs at least 3 rashers. I like mine with brown sauce.

[Damnautocorrect]

3 rashers to fill the bread. 2, barely worth bothering.
In fact I had a tradesman in earlier and got into a tizz as I couldn't offer bacon sarnies as it would only have been 2 rashers each.

[Chocolateorangegirl]

We have 3 rashers (less would be a travesty)
Unsmoked back bacon
Warburtons toastie bread
Butter and ketchup
Cup of tea from a pot on the side
Perfection

Puntastic! I just read your post. About the Stilton and onion marmalade on a. Bacon sandwich. I was crying with laughter so much that I've read it out to dh and ds1. The three of us are in bits!
Have to say I totally agree I love Stilton but not on a bacon sarnie.
Mine is two thick cut, dry cure butchers rashers on fresh warburtons White bread with butter and brown sauce. I also like an english muffin with one slice of bacon a poached egg, cheese slice and brown sauce a bit like McD's but much better.

[Iggly]

I have 2 (fat removed). Use butter and ketchup. I can't eat any kind of sandwich without butter. Not cheap watery foamy bacon.

[PacificDogwood]

discophile, that really deserves the title 'Heartattack on a Plate'
Yum!

[discophile]

I had a boyfriend a while ago who used to make bacon sandwiches using two slices of "eggy bread", lots of crispy bacon, and the bacon would have maple syrup poured on it before eating. Very nice. I think there may have been a sprinkling of icing sugar on top of the toast as well. That was the starter, proper savoury bacon sandwich after that one.

[DurhamDurham]

Haha.....bacon garnish!! Maybe that's the way forward, all sandwiches should come with a bacon garnish. It would be much more exciting than the limp lettuce and 3 crisps usually served with a sandwich.

[HappyGirlNow]

Oh and keep the lovely crispy fat on mmmm

[HappyGirlNow]

2 but I always have bacon AND egg in a sandwich. If it was only bacon it'd be 3.

White square bread or preferably Mothers Pride plain (not sure you get this outside Scotland). Or a roll.

Unsmoked back bacon. Grilled. Egg fried soft. Half the sandwich gets brown sauce on it, half without.

YUM.

[PuntasticUsername]

ONE per sandwich? Fuck's sake. That's not a bacon sandwich, that's a bit of bread and butter with a cursory bacon garnish.

[azelli48414]

I love a bacon sandwich with brown sauce and we always have 3 rashers in a sandwich, but the cafe across the road only has 1 per sandwich grrrr.

[TheCatsMother99]

The more bacon the merrier!!!

DH still snoring. glares

WIBU to "accidentally" roll on him and wake him up?
