Not bottie, but buttie. It's basically a hot sandwich. British bacon,
unless one specifies "streaky bacon", usually means back bacon, or
sometimes middle bacon. The bacon is cooked and made into a sandwich
while still hot. I prefer mine plain, though many people add sauce,
either red (i.e., catsup) or brown.
