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!

I'm a southerner with a pretty RP accent. If I say 'bacon butty' I sound a bit as though I'm taking the piss out of people who do actually say 'bacon butty'. So I don't. I live in NW England now. Adopting local words for things, in my Home Counties accent, would make me sound like a right twat, quite frankly!

🤣 I'm a northerner living down south and my kids have RP accents which would be considered 'posh' where I'm from. I love chucking in a bit of 'common' speak 'Get it et' is my personal favourite if they haven't finished their dinner.

Sadly no. It’s fish finger piece.we don’t really use cod. We use haddock. Which we usually refer to as haddie

Piece

Cod piece?

Word up (80's lovers will get the reference)

Or indeed anyone who’s had a hand in the fencing club. But still no.

Haddock and pollock are both technically species of cod… (though culinarily you can't label them as cod I don't think) </pedant mode>

My point being that if you want to call them cod pieces, you can! Provided you're willing to go through a pedantic justification when necessary.

Cod piece 😂

I'm very Northern and I say "sandwich", never butty. DH is northern but posh and he says "sand- hwwwwwitch" with almost a whistle on the "w" part.

OP I think you should just join in with your friend and call them butties and make tonnes of them and eat them with her at every opportunity. She loves them and I like the sound of her attitude. I want a bacon butty now.

Never heard of the term piece, interesting. I like regional terms for things but have never liked the words arse and sh__ (see I can’t even spell it out) 😂

Sandwiches contain lettuce. Butties do not. Its a bacon butty.

Bacon butty, chip butty. Anything else is a sandwich.

Anything? Please tell me you're not one of those people who calls a hamburger a sandwich.

Does anyone ever refer to a hotdog as a sandwich?

Codswallop 🤣🤣

I thought sandwiches used mayonnaise and butties were buttered. Clearly it is much more complex than this!

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

Back bacon
Unsmoked
Bread - a well fired roll is the ideal (fellow Scots will understand) but if having a bacon piece white bread is best
Butter
Crispy but not annihilated
No sauce

Personally I don’t like the idea of healthy living animals going in to be slaughtered and then being eaten. Being common isn’t high on the list of worries in that context. Each to their own.

Sausage too surely? And Pot Noodle. Can't be calling it a 'pot noodle sandwich'.
