I want either sourdough white or a very neutral tasting white
bread for my BLTs. Also, the lettuce should have some crispness
and not be the very soft kind.

I like a firm white bread for toasting. Sourdough is fine. I also like
the lettuce to be very crisp, in fact, if I can find a very green icebeerg
lettuce, that would be my choice. The combination of textures in a BLT is
very important to me.

Got me, i came in late and don't recall, but i have made very good BLT's
with pocket bread and a dose of cucumber sauce, the main ingredients are
Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato, don't matter what kind of bread or condiments
one uses if its got bacon, lettuce and tomato on (or in) bread its a BLT.

What's the difference between a "croque monsieur" and a grilled ham and
cheese?

A couple of difference:
A croque monsieur has dijon mustard with Swiss cheese, topped with an egg
(over easy for me).

A grilled ham-and-cheese has yellow mustard and American cheese, minus the
egg.

Late or not, that was indeed what the OP was about. You can call it what
you will and put peanut butter on it if you want, but it is definitely not
what the OP was referring to.

For the most part, very little, except perhaps the choice of cheese and the
country it's made in.

bbbbbut that would be a BB&G. I've made similar except with strawberry jam,
since I'm not overly fond of grape jelly. Welch's used to make a grape
preserve which had the grape skins in it. I liked that because of the
texture.

But the arugula is the *reason* for adding some nutty-flavored oil! Arugula
has a vaguely nutty flavor, and the oil should help bring that out. You
could use sunflower sprouts instead, if you like them better.

Mayo

On a related note.... dinner tonight will be a Chicken Club sandwich. I
have to go out early this evening to do may volunteer thing. I have to
be at the stables by 5 pm. We have a grilled chicken breast left over
from dinner tonight, some great bacon and some fresh tomatoes. I
haven't had a club sandwich in a long time and I am looking forward to
it, but I am going to skip the extra slices of bread and just stack the
chicken, bacon and tomato between two slices of toast.

Since you are mustard-friendly, I will confess that I like mustard on my

Always mayo for me. As much as I like mustard, not for this particular
sandwich.

And onions are mandatory.

And I like a triple decker. Doesn't matter what order the ingredients
go on, just three pieces of toast with "stuff" in between.

Then it's not a BLT, it's a BBT.
