Not to make BF this food anymore - Bacon

[olympicsrock]

My best friend loves to eat bacon sandwiches as do i and my family. The issue is that she always calls them ‘bacon butties’ and says this with great relish. “Ooh bacon butty!” She calls other sandwiches “sandwiches”.
I was brought up being told that people who said Butty rather than sandwich were incredibly common. Whenever she says this , it really irritates me. I haven’t said anything.
Am in being unreasonable just to not serve this when she comes over to minimise the irritation . Or do I tell her how much this bothers me and serve her something she loves.
Do others hate this too?

As a side Issue , it’s tomato ketchup not tomato sauce!

Here it’s red sauce. As opposed to broon sauce. Its a piece not a sandwich and it’s breckie dinner and tea. You’d be the mental one in my area. Do you see how mad it is to not make things because of what someone calls it?

It's Tommy sauce and bacon sarnie in our house, am I common too ?

@Vapeyvapevape I can cope with sarnie 😄

It's a bacon piece or piece and bacon where I live - as are all sandwiches. Unless it's in a roll then it's just a bacon roll.

I don't care about the name of the sauce as I wouldn't have it on my piece as it spoils the flavour.

It's completely immaterial.

The really important questions are:

• what cut of bacon you use: medallions, back or streaky
• whether you use smoked bacon or pleasant bacon
• whether you're one of those freaks who toasts the bread first
• whether you butter the bread or just leave it dry like some kind of ascetic
• whether you cook the bacon pink and flabby with fat flobbing around, hard and shattering into mouth-stabbing pieces, or the correct, middle level of cookedness

Bacon buttys in my family when growing up, but no other sandwiches were buttys. I don't think it's "common" but even if it is, what's wrong with that?

A bacon butty or sausage butty are basically sandwiches here, although if you went to a cafe I would expect them in cobs rather than bread

Thick unsmoked back bacon rashers to the point where the fat is crispy but the bacon is still softish.
lightly buttered bread or even better a fluffy white bread roll
Light drizzle of tomato ketchup

But since you ask, I can't imagine a single English individual of any social class referring to either a bacon sandwich or a chip sandwich without a self-conscious tension in their shoulders. For these specific fillings, "butty" transcends class. It's a triumph of linguistic egalitarianism.

Beautiful. Mine's a GF roll and hold the condiments. Tomorrow morning okay?

I separate the two - in bread it's a sandwich and in that fluffy white roll you mentioned it's a butty! Two distinctly different things. I'm AM common as muck though

LTB

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say 'bacon sandwich' before though?
Doesn't everyone say 'bacon butty'???

For those who say tomato ketchup, is there another kind of ketchup I’m not aware of?

There’s a new ghastly condiment….

A hot filling between two slices of bread = butty - bacon butty, chip butty, sausage butty.

A cold filling between two slices of bread = sandwich.

I say butty for every type of sandwhich therefore yabu. However I'm a big hypocrite because whenever anyone says sarnie in my presence I want to curl up and die

Loads of them. Mushroom ketchup is probably the only other one you could easily find in a supermarket though.

The history of ketchup is really interesting, if you're into that kind of thing.

Class up to a BLT - bacon, lettuce, tomato, no sauce

Sorry but it's always a bacon sandwich here.
Butty only used when filled with chips 🍟

whether you cook the bacon pink and flabby with fat flobbing around, hard and shattering into mouth-stabbing pieces, or the correct, middle level of cookedness

@FurryDandelionSeekingMissile has the answer to this dilemma OP!

if they say ‘butty’ or ‘sarnie’ they get the cheap cafe version. (Pink and flabby with fat flopping around).
If they learn to correctly call it a ‘bacon sandwich’ they get perfectly cooked bacon on thick sliced, buttered bread.

They will soon learn! 🤣

I think the friendship is more important than the words used for food. Is your friend fun to be with, supportive and gave they got your back? If so surely that is the most important things. Red sauce and bacon sarnie. Be intrigued to know what makes someone common.

This has to be a joke question.

I think you were 'common shamed' as a child, you've internalised it and now it manifests as this weird, uptight cringing at a pretty innocuous phrase.
I really do wonder at this kind of aversion, or snobbery, in grown, rational adults. Categorising speech, things or people as 'common' or somehow 'less than' according to some entirely arbitrary markers seems to point at a fragile or immature sense of self, and an effort to bolster this at the expense of the other, framing one's own worth in the context of something percieved as less valuable.
Tragic and so limiting, in terms of your enjoyment of and connection to people and the world around you.

We’ve a bottle of mayochup in our fridge right now. I passed on the ranchup though…
