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?

Depends on the thickness of the bread the thicker the bread the more slices of bacon you need or it's just too bready for medium warburtons 3 minimum but prefer 4 or 5 but for warburtons toastie 6 is good!

Ketchup or butter?!

What kind of madness is this? Of course you use both. Why would you choose?!

Dh informs me 4 minimum, 3 at a push Greedy fucker but then he tried to qualify it with questions about the type of bread product, size and thickness of bacon etc.

I dont really like bacon. I'd rather have just toast.

Depends on the cut of bacon. 2 x Smoked middle rind on, plus 2 or 3 streaky, or at least 3 back. Smoked rind on again. Seriously, why do people cut the fat off meat?? The bread has to be white and the sauce has to be brown. Daddies, not HP. And no fucking ketchup.

2 and an egg if in a bap, more depending on bap size, at least 3 in bread.
MIL does 3 bacon, 2 sausage and an egg in a bap I am sure it is her way of making sure we visit ever week!

I feel like I used the words sandwich and sambo a lot of times in that post

Butter, proper butter, and not stingily spread.

Though at risk of being hounded off my own thread as a baconwich deviant, I really like that Heinz curry sauce stuff on them as well.

Not tiny bread, just have massive rashers - which now sounds like some sort of innuendo.

Minimum 3 slices.

Absolute minimum.

Your DH is very unreasonable.

LTB

Back, streaky bacon is not for sandwiches. It's from the butcher so it's quite thick cut. Smoked, obviously.

I could kill for abacon sandwich now & we have none in.

3 rashers of back bacon for me. I remove every scrap of fat/rind.

Humanjam... you need to live a little

I would say three but my dh is like your man - if I cook something special or even if I add butter to mash he says 'oh no. Too luxurious'

Today I made him fresh coffee and amareto sugar and he said it was too extravagant. Oh dear

Zero

Im vegetarian

DH on the other handreckons it depends on if its supermarket bacon or from the local butcher. Seems the proper butcher stuff doesnt shrink as much

2 rashers per sandwich here unless it's really paper thin, and then 3.

People put butter on bacon sandwiches........

Brown sauce.

No fat.

Butter

Spread really. Not actually butter

at people that don't put butter on bacon sandwiches....

3

Proper butcher's smoked back bacon here, thick slices feeling need to defend being a two-slicer

Why do people remove the fat?

2 if I'm making it for anyone else.

3 for me but I cut the fat off and have it on a bap. DH gets my spare fat so I suppose he almost gets 3.

Add an egg and loads of butter and I'm a happy bunny.

Or even better, have it on crusty fresh bread on the decking outside the caravan on holiday early in the morning before everyone else is up. Bliss.

Because it feels like eating worms

No idea about the fat removal. Might as well just have toast....

Is it too late to knock on my neighbours door to 'borrow' some bacon?

It would seem we ate all ours this morning and now I have a craving for a big fat four slice bacon sandwich.

At least 3. Four is lovely. Two is too bready. I only have butter if my mum's made the sandwich - I do like it but would never put it on myself! And I'm a ketchup person.
