If you like bacon sandwiches

Then is normal to you?
Inspired by the boiled egg thread .

By default a bacon sandwich made by me means bacon between buttered...toast!

It doesn't stick to your palate and feels more substantial.
Am i right?

Philistines….. toast? Mayo? Mustard?! What the fuck is wrong with you barbarians?

Thick seeded bread and a squirt of Siracha ~ heavenly.

BarbaraofSeville · 22/12/2022 19:16

Surprised at the popularity of ketchup, I didn't realise that was a thing.

The best is Dishoom’s bacon naan roll.

This. I try to make them at home but never quite achieve it.

TheHateIsNotGood · 22/12/2022 19:19

Similar to my response to the egg thread - sometimes I toast, sometimes I don't - but I am now inspired by the toast one side posters so will definitely try that.

Having never had the real thing, I'm happy enough with my home made efforts (streaky bacon, cream cheese, sweet chili sauce and whatever flat bread I have available).

Having just googled the recip, I now know why I have a bag of cake flour, apparently the nearest equivalent flour for making the naan.

Crispy streaky bacon fried in olive oil with bread toasted on the one side in a frying pan. So it's crispy on the inside & soft & warm on the outside. Copious amounts of tomato ketchup or reggae reggae sauce. I bundle the bacon up in kitchen towel after cooking to absorb all the excess fat too.

BaileySharp · 22/12/2022 19:24

Either can be acceptable

vincettenoir · 22/12/2022 19:25

I remember years ago when me and my husband were first going out. He’s was making me a bacon sandwich and his landlord walked into the kitchen and said ‘Can I ask why you’re not toasting the bread?’ I thought it was an odd questions because I never had my bacon sarnies toasted but I guess you’re not the only one OP.

Crunchingleaf · 22/12/2022 19:26

Surely some of these posts need to be taken down as they are criminal. You don’t use mayo or toast ever.
Fresh thick cut white pan loaf for a bacon sandwich. Nothing else is acceptable.

Has to be smoked streaky as well wherever possible. I often do the double bread in one socket thing too, dh introduced me to it.

Bananaman123 · 22/12/2022 19:29

Yes! Crispy bacon between buttered toast and hp sauce

PinkTonic · 22/12/2022 19:33

White bread, untoasted or preferably a decent roll from the bakery. Spoilt Pig or equivalent dry cured smoked bacon. No butter or sauce. A dip in the bacon fat. If the only bread I have in is granary I’d toast it, add butter and either a fried egg or tomato, so it’s bacon and egg on toast.

Wheredoallthepensgo · 22/12/2022 19:43

SunflowerSmith · 22/12/2022 18:40

I've never tried a bacon sandwich, I love bread and bacon though so should give it a try

Wait what? Never? I can't believe there's a non-veggie adult who hasn't had a bacon sandwich! Get thee to the frying pan immediately!

KillingLoneliness · 22/12/2022 19:46

No! Thick white bread! 😋

Wheredoallthepensgo · 22/12/2022 19:48

Perfection is a floury Glasgow roll with a bit of butter, lots of unsmoked well cooked bacon and ketchup.

White thick bread also acceptable.

Don't fancy toast. Toast is for eggs.

Jewelanemone · 22/12/2022 19:50

Soft white rolls and very crispy smoked bacon, cooked on our little camping gas stove on the beach after a lovely shore dive with my husband. Food of the gods.

If at home, sliced white butter on one piece (Anchor Spreadable) and very crispy bacon. Mug of tea.

maddiemookins16mum · 22/12/2022 19:58

Nope. Thick toaster white bread, proper butter, brown sauce and 4 slices of smoked bacon with the fat crispy is the best bacon sandwich.

WonderingWanda · 22/12/2022 19:58

No that would be double crunch. Soft white bread with crispy bacon.

RockingMyFiftiesNot · 22/12/2022 19:58

At home I always made bacon butties with wholemeal bread and no butter/marg because bacon's fatty enough already. Then one day I had a desperate need of a hangover bacon buttie at work... white bread, buttered (because I wasn't on the ball) and OMG the best bacon sandwich I've ever had.

SalviaOfficinalis · 22/12/2022 20:00

No, you are wrong. That’s not a bacon sandwich, it’s bacon in toast.

I will concede that lightly toasting one side of the bread only would be okay.

Murdoch1949 · 22/12/2022 20:18

Love toasted bacon sandwiches, the melting butter. I add tomatoes, tinned or fresh, I'm not a pedant.
