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!

It's a bacon sandwich or bacon roll. Same with sausages. Except I live in the Midlands and sometimes have to steel myself to say 'cob' to avoid confusion. Especially with sausages, otherwise I get handed a pastry covered oblong.

Each time I have to quell the shoulder twitch and force myself to unclench my teeth to get the unatural word out.

I can't even get started on 'butty'. So I feel your pain OP. Why not make bacon baguettes for your friend instead? Surely nobody can 'buttify' a baguette?

You’re being ridiculous. People are raised in different ways, most of my friends say bacon butty, I don’t see anything wrong with that. Bacon sandwich doesn’t sound right to me. Sorry if that offends anyone, I was raised how I was, and where I was and make no apologies to anyone who might find that common! Stop being so judgemental

It is a bacon butty. I was taught saying kids not children was common but decided as an adult that was silly. Let this go op...it's a butty. Language moves on and develops.

Wrong.

Should be smoked bacon, no butter, no shitty roll, lashings of ketchup.

You're worse than she is.

Sausage is also butty, rules is: if you don't say butty you make a shit butty.

It's a rasher sambo where I live 🤣🤣

Have you tried it with butter? I know it might seem ridiculous, the saturated fat equivalent of gilding the lily, but there's great joy to be had in licking a dribble of mixed bacon grease and melted butter off your hand so it doesn't trickle down your arm.

Though I suppose the ketchup would sully that a bit.

I want a bacon butty now.

As my granny would have said, there is nothing more cn than saying cn.

Serve up that butty daintily on a doily with condiments, to your friend sitting on your couch in your lounge.

And ignore @TwoTimTams who is clearly a woefully wrong headed American in disguise and/or a person who’s never had a hangover

I was brought up to day butty for bacon. Also red sauce and brown sauce. Midlands area so we say cob too if crusty. Roll if soft. Do say ketchup now as teenage kids and half their words now seem to American! I love brown sauce.

@Undertheoldlindentree your may have found the solution. Baguette! But she might still go on about how much she loves a bacon butty…

I ressured to hear there are at least a couple of my tribe on here who understand the rip your own head off level of irritation with the word “butty”.
@RedDwarfGarbagePod yup I feel the same way about brew too .

Chip butty - unspeakable common to have a sandwich of carbs in carbs. Thank goodness I don’t know anyone who does this!

@Darbs76 you say you were raised how you were raised and make no apology for that. Well this is how I was raised too.

But serious should I talk to her about my loathing of the word , teeth itching hatred . I love her to bits. Very old friend , great company. I see her lots.
Or do I just make sausage sandwiches instead from now on even though we both prefer bacon….

There’s a mushroom ketchup.

We call bacon sandwiches, well, sandwiches. But a chip butty is a chip butty.

Is the bacon butty served with a brew?

Why, you mashing?

@olympicsrock - you were raised to be judgemental? Well ok then. What a weird conversation that would be between friends

It's immensely intolerant to be driven to such levels of irritation by someone using a word that you clearly understand and is not derogatory to others. You are being derogatory by describing the word, and by implication her, as common; that makes you the offensive one here, by a country mile.

ignore @TwoTimTams who is clearly a woefully wrong headed American in disguise and/or a person who’s never had a hangover

Australian, surely, with a name like that? Though I think TimTams have made it to the US… Here, of course, we already have the clearly superior Penguin

Okay so you’re the unreasonable one for having thick unsmoked bacon, “fluffy” rolls and ketchup. Is it supermarket bacon too?

the fact you say “teeth itch” and accept the use of “sarnie” is far far worse

I want to kill people who call tomato ketchup Tommy K 😤 I had an ex-boyfriend who did this and I cringed every time.

I hate "butty" too. And "sarnie" come to think of it.

Calling it a "piece" is new to me.

Bacon sound gross. YABU.

@MRex , some feelings are ingrained. You would agree that it would be better just to stop making them for her than have this conversation presumably 😁

Rasher sandwich here, very crispy and streaky , served between two
slices of heavily buttered soft white bread. Food of gods.

Obviously "bacon butty" is indeed the correct terminology so I did originally think about launching a blistering critique of your judgement, or lack thereof. However, you slightly redeemed yourself with this:

Thick unsmoked back bacon rashers to the point where the fat is crispy but the bacon is still softish

At least you know how to correctly make a bacon butty, even if you don't know what it's called.

Yesssssss this!
