I bet that's really good! I'll never remember by next summer.
That would be a funny reminder to set.

That's their argument, but the fact remains that it's not counted in

I that case, you've missed out on one of the delights of life: a

I'm not sure how much lettuce adds to that equation, but I'm sure it
won't hurt either.

2 very thick slices of white bread, buttered, sandwiching 2-3 lightly
cooked rashers of back bacon. Heaven! And if you eat too many, that's
where you'll be headed!

It's an indispensable ingredient of a BLT. Those four ingredients
together are something special.

MY preferred bacon sandwich is whole wheat (I NEVER eat white bread
willingly), several slices of thick cut baked bacon, 2-3 fried eggs,
and some sliced cheese (any kind, but reduced fat cheddar often).

It reminds me of a 'broodje gezond' from the Netherlands:

But 'broodje gezond' meaning 'healthy roll', it comes without bacon.

It's very usual in UK to put salad stuff in sandwiches. You might have

Heck. That is a classic. They are good even without the bacon. Lettuce
and tomato, toasted or not toasted, was a common summer time lunch when
I was a kid. My father always grew lots of tomatoes so there was no
shortage of tomatoes.

I had to look it up. Roasted sesame dressing. I put it on my
wish list on amazon because I doubt I'll find it anywhere
around here. Asian store, maybe.

My breakfast bacon usually ends up as a toast sandwich.

I would think that is a fairly common combination of ingredients
anywhere in the world.

With the BLT, I used to like to add avocado too, but some might not
like that with bacon. BLTs were big here in Aus in the 90's... now I
can't recall when I last saw one on a menu.

Definitely, and not all that healthy with white bread.

Heh, I was going to comment on that nasty looking bread but thought
better of it Not just because it is white, it just has a look about
it that I'm all too familiar with and I don't like the texture of that
type of bread at all. It's almost plastic-like.

A BLT still are here, and even if it's not - they'll make one for you
if they have all the components.

You can still find a BLT on menus here, and even if it's not listed -
they'll make one for you if they have all the components.

You two sure know how to focus on insignificant details. Bread is the
one component of a BLT that can be upgraded to suit yourself. Switch
out or eliminate the Bacon (American style, crispy rashers), the
Lettuce or the Tomato and it won't be a BLT.

We had it first at a Japanese restaurant, then found it in a mainstream
supermarket, with all the usual additives. Now, I'll try this recipe:

Personally, I'd replace the bacon with cheese and have a CLT. The bread
would be ok for me, as long as it isn't that soft, soggy supermarket
stuff.

I don't think it is insignificant if you really don't like something.
Some types of bread I really do not like, the one picture being an
example.

Can it? Making my own, yes. If I'm buying, well maybe it can be
changed. Maybe not.

I wouldn't do any of those things.

Yep, I'm sure many places would do that. I have found though, some
places understand and are passionate about BLTs and some are not, and
from the latter the results can be quite uninspiring, if that makes
sense.

Make HVR with the buttermilk recipe powder. The powder plus buttermilk
and mayo is as close as ranch dressing gets to the original delight
from the seventies. All bottled ranch dressing sucks, but I usually buy
it. I happen to have the "good stuff" in the fridge today because I had
some buttermilk. I can't see putting blue cheese in it and have no idea
what a Cobb salad is (some Mallory Archer concoction, I suppose). I
really have to get out more.
Our anniversary is right around the corner. I gave my wife the option
of going to the best restaurant or the best butcher shop in town. She
chose the butcher shop. Crap!

2 very thick slices of white bread, buttered, sandwiching 2-3 lightly
cooked rashers of back bacon. Heaven! And if you eat too many, that's
where you'll be headed!

Me too, haven't heard Doorstep in zonks My grandmother used to cut
a doorstep, plaster it with dripping then liberally sprinkle with
coarse salt. It seemed delicious at the time, don't know if I would
handle one now

It does look easy. I'd have expected it would call for toasted
sesame oil the way the stuff I found online called it Japanese
Roasted Sesame dressing.

Thanks.

I think it was created by Harry (??) Cobb at the Brown Derby
restaurant. It's a great salad though it's not usually served
at finely chopped. I love it.

(laugh) Go to the best restaurant, too, after you recuperate from
making the best dinner for her.

Looks like a common ham and processed cheese sandwich on a roll to me.

Write back if you try it. Sounds tempting. I have everything but I'm out
of the seeds.

Oh wait...I just looked and do still have some sesame seeds. Maybe I'll
try your dressing first and I'll report back with an opinion. I'll toast
the seeds in a dry pan before smashing them.

Yes, I think it's a BLT baguette with ham instead of bacon. HLT.

No such beast.

You might not see it, but many restos do. I can't tell you how many
times I've found blue cheese in ranch dressing. It's almost a
certainty in CA salad bars. BTW, you know who Mallory Archer is, but
not a Cobb salad. Bizarre.

>> really have to get out more.

You definitely need to do something.

You have a mortar and pestle? I'm impressed. I would have gone to
Rainbow grocery and purchased a small amount of tahini paste.

It does, but I've been fortunate enough not to encounter that... even
with an off the menu patty melt. My only problem with a patty melt is
when the toasted bread comes to me greasy (the traditional way), so I
need to remember to tell them to cook it "dry".

Had lunch with friends a few days ago at a restaurant that has BLT on
the menu. The bread was multi-grain and perfectly toasted, but there
was so much filling that the person had a hard time eating it until
she removed a few rashers of bacon. I guess it's better to complain
about too much rather than too little!

The whole idea of a sandwich is that it should be easy to eat with one
hand. The gigantic examples on most N.American menus are absolutely
ridiculous!

None of which you are obligated to buy.

Myself, if I'm gonna pay $20 fer a deli sammy, I damn sure do
not care if it is "easy" to eat.

You are confusing sushi with a sandwich. What are you doing with your
other hand?
