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?

[Passmethecrisps]

There is till actual meat. Just not greasy wormy fat

[BlueMoonRoses]

EnormousDormouse. Me too! Where in ME are you going? I'm off to AD.

[Stinkersmum]

passme not if you grill it properly.

[PutWittyUsernameHere]

Minimum 3 rashers, with an egg (runny yolk OBVIOUSLY) would be preferable.

Butter AND ketchup. Or butter and brown sauce if that's your preference, I'm not a bacon butty fascist...

A bacon butty with 12 rashers would be like the piggy gods of bacon descending amongst an angelic porcine horde, singing hymns to processed meat whilst tenderly caressing my taste buds with their salty kisses...

Ahem. I blame the wine

My DD likes paper-thin bacon and I cook her at least 7 or 8 rashers.

But that's an entire packet of bacon for one person

I love crisping the fat in the, well, fat in the pan. Fat cooked in fat - gorgeous. Agree it can be worm-like if not crisped up.

[BlueMoonRoses]

Oh, and 6 rashers of streaky per two slices white buttered bread.

[MaryBerrysLostCherry]

And just to go left field do you tist the bread (sac religious chez lost).

Koala, I love just the butter. So it's all carbs, meat, and fat. Ketchup and butter together just seems wrong to me. Like a sausage sandwich must only have butter. DP thinks that requires butter and ketchup too.

Welsh, oh yes, thick cut and smoked, for sure. Ideally from the butchers (my butcher always throws in a free half pound of rashers or sausages when I'm buying a few pieces of meat, he's a legend). Heinz curry on a bacon sambo though? You are indeed a baconwich deviant! Mind you, I know someone who puts cheese on a bacon sandwich, which really is a travesty.

I thought the rule was one Mrs Meerkat, I didn't know any differently . Until Facebook we happily scoffed our Sunday breakfast thinking it was a treat now I realise that the rest of the country has a feast. When we have a cooked brekky we have 1 rasher of bacon, 1 sausage (2 for dh and ds1), 1 egg, 1 slice of toast, a couple of mushrooms and dh and ds1 have a ramekin of baked beans. On some of the photos I have seen on Facebook they have our combined family breakfast for one person! My children are going to be mentally scarred by this and rebel aren't they?

I'm still that people don't butter their bacon sandwiches.

I'm shaken to my very core.

Next you will be telling me that you use that weight watchers bacon.

[Stinkersmum]

bluemoonroses you can buy pork in AD at a place called Spinneys.

[DontCallMeBaby]

I do two per sandwich, but only because that means eight rashers does a sandwich and a half each for me and DH, and one for DD. I'd do three or four if I had unlimited bacon. Fat cut off as I only like it if every last bit is crisp, and it never is at home. Butter for DH, sauce for DD, neither for me ... but I fry the bread for mine, so it stays hotter AND I get bacon-flavoured bread. Yum yum yum ...

[balletgirlmum]

I don't butter anything. I hate butter in sandwiches. And I don't like fat regardless of whether it is crispy or not.

[BadgersArse]

GROSs to put butter onto bacon

fat city

[Koalafications]

Your DP is right re: sausage sandwiches ShadowsCollide. It must be butter and ketchup.

[Fluffyears]

Toast with bacon and some cheese is amazing...breakfast tomorrow sorted.

[Passmethecrisps]

I was on an expedition with kids I teach and they 'treated' us to bacon sandwiches. They chucked a whole packet of value bacon in the smallest tranja pot and boiled life out of that shit. It was handed to me in a morning roll with such joy and pride that I had no idea how I would swallow it without actually making them cry.

Thankfully one child said "I love bacon rind! I will eat it all!" So she say and sucked on every single bacon rind before chewing on it

It made us all happy though.

Crispy fat is lovely but for me to be happy with it there has to be no softness at all which often means the bacon is knackered

[EnormousDormouse]

BlueMoon - I'm off to Oman -lack of bacon seems to be the only downside at the mo. Very much looking forward to uncrappy weather.

[Stinkersmum]

^^ that's the whole point badger. I don't eat them for a health trip!

[TamzinGrey]

Want .... bacon ...sandwich ......now .....

[catgirl1976]

2 rashers is fine. 3 is good. Any more is a bit piggy. :)

And it must be white bread, ideally nice butter and sauce-wise should be ketchup but sometimes I get a bit kinky and go BBQ. On a very decadant day I may add some grated cheddar.

[kickassangel]

Oh woe is me. I live in the U.S. Where thin streaky bacon is the only thing available. Still tastes great but you have to cook until all the fat crisps. 4 rashers needed, but they are v v thin.

Toast bread if sliced stuff out the packet, or have fresh if the nice stuff. Real butter, ketchup or HP sauce. For indulgence add a fried egg with runny yolk.

However, one of these would do me for dinner.

[catgirl1976]

Oh, and the bacon must crunch. Bacon should not bend. Ever.

[Stinkersmum]

Enormous look out for the non Muslim sections at Al Fair Supermarkets - you should be able to get pork there.
