Wasn't that what the OP was about? And, yes, a "traditional" BLT is
definitely not what you're describing.

As I said, what you described is probably very tasty but does not represent
what I consider to be a BLT. I'm sure there could be hundreds of
variations, but they wouldn't represent what most people picture when they
think of a BLT.

I'm sure I would enjoy a BST as well, but that's also off the track of the
OP.

There must be thousands of different kinds of sandwiches, but that was
hardly the point of this thread.

I enjoy an over semi-well done egg samdwich on good white toast, along with
a slice of onion, maybe a leaf of lettuce, and mayo. The very thought of
ketchup with eggs has my stomach reeling. :-)

In coffee shops and small restaurants of the 1950s, there was often a
choice of a "toasted cheese sandwich" or a "grilled cheese sandwich". I'll
stick with the latter.

Sounds like a very flat sandwich to me. :-)
