Mustard? MUStard? George, come here so I can slap you! Mustard would
be an affront to all that is holy. Mayo, George, mayo. Some would use
Miracle Whip and I know of no one who has ever considered mustard.
Ever. Oh, George. I weep.

Didn't think of that one. I always toast the bread and slather on Best
Foods/Hellman's mayo top and bottom. I also add avocado if I have a
ripe one handy. And a couple of times I've also added a thin slice of
good swiss cheese to the BLAT. But that's pure piggery ... oink.

Never! You need soft white bread so it can absorb the juice from the
tomatoes.

Christine - Good point. I usually plan ahead enough when wanting
something specific like a BLT to make sure I have the best ingredients
I can get. Best sourdough, best vine ripe tomato, best lettuce. Favorite
bacon. I make the mayo if I have enough uses for it over the course of
the week, Since that usually isn't the case, I normally use Helmanns.

Anyway, the purpose of the post was to say I don't often use the same
lettuce. Whatever is freshest is what I normally get, and the variations
are pretty nice. Never thought about basil though, I'll have to give
that a try.

I always toast mine, but I do make sure to have the tomatoes and mayo on
opposite sides of the sandwich. I also put the lettuce on top of the
tomatoes. That seems to slow down the soggy factor before consuming.

Mayo.

I like mustard but I'd not use it on a BLT!

Oh, gotta be mayo. And in my house, we don't salt and pepper BLTs, but
that's not wrong, the way mustard would be. :-)

buttered, toasted bread.

For me, toasted, but most of the folks in my family can take it either way.

White is canonical, but any bread will do for me, within reason.

That sounds really good, though I think it wouldn't exactly hit the BLT
spot in my brain, if that makes sense.

BLT on good white toast, salt, coarsely ground black pepper, and either mayo
or Miracle Whip. I like both for a BLT, with a slight preference for mayo.

Mustard? Never!

That would be overkill for me, and constitute a totally different sandwich
that I'm sure is good. Just not a BLT to me.

My thoughts exactly, regarding salt. I'm not a fan of pepper so I
never use it.

I'd put mayo on it before mustard, but i'd also eat it without mayo.

I have a weak spot for the BLTA which will get the tiniest bit of

Your definition of a BLT depends on the condiments used? IMO a BST
(bacon, sprouts & tomato) sandwich is just as good.

Course, i should say, im quite fond of a couple of eggs over easy on
bread with just a smear of ketchup.

If it weren't for the elderly relative i would probly live on sandwiches.
I use toast for my "grilled cheese" and give it just enough time in a
pan for the cheese to melt.

I picked up an old book press cheap at an auction just so i could try
"Book Makers Sandwiches."

Sort of an antique English BLT Beef steak, Lettuce & Tomato.

I love sprouts. Joseph, do you remember those sandwiches in the 70s lunch
places, the ones that served herbal teas and had tie died stuff ? The were
on heavy coarse grain bread, very thick, with muenster cheese, tomato, and
sprouts. In Baltimore they were called "Powerhouse" sandwiches, maybe after
the restaurant. They were good.

On a BLT? Yeah sure coming from one with their brain and taste in their
ass. Ketchup? What a dumb**** you are that has no cooking ability. You
produce nothing but garbage that no one would want to eat. No doubt your
cats even turn their noses up at the bilge pump output you produce, and
declare edible. Of course YOU are the only one who has to eat the
garbage you make.

I'd want to add fresh mozzarella to that one.

Or use a ciabatta roll with the cut sides toasted, arugula instead of
lettuce, and (I know it sounds weird) a very light drizzle of sesame oil,
hazelnut oil, or walnut oil.

Yeah, but your basil variation becomes a Caprese-salad sandwich when
you add mozzarella, and how can adding bacon be a mistake? :-)

A little Sesame oil sounds good, but I'd sub Basil for lettuce. I cannot
stand Arugula! It has a harsh flavor that does not appeal to me,

Baby spinach leaves might work too.

But of course, we are no longer talking about BLT's. <g>
