Still just as good without the tasteless lettuce. anyone who says "BLT sandwich" obviously can't appreciate this, but come on, it's a BLT - the perfect sandwich! "just as good" makes no sense here |

Lettuce really adds no flavor; it just makes it 'prettier' and people think because it's got a hunk green vegetable on it, that adds no nutritional value, that's really healthy now! Not that bacon is a super food by any means. Probably the only thing that could be considered healthy is the tomato. |

Still just as good without the tasteless lettuce. You can't taste lettuce? I find it has a distinctive taste. Not strong, but readily identifiable. Cindy Hamilton |

It does have a mild taste although bacon will overpower it. For me, the lettuce adds the crunch factor that I love on the sandwich. It does make it better, imo. |

It does seem to be a texture thing. I like BLTs but, as I said before, we don't always have lettuce on hand when I have a hankering for a BLT, so it just have bacon and tomato. They are good, but definitely lacking an essential ingredient. It is curious how some people think that some things have no flavour, but you can definitely tell when there is too much. Celery is good example. Another is bay leaf. Soups and stews without it tend to be missing something, even if you can't pinpoint the missing taste. A couple years ago I had a dish in a Mexican restaurant that had way too much bay leaf. |

My grandmother used to give us Dripping Doorstops - thick cut bread smeared with a heavy dose of dripping which had lots of rough salt on top. I don't think I could handle one now but it sure quieted kids on limited war time diets ![]() day so maybe the body actually needed it, we are all still very healthy save one who was killed in a motor bike accident at age 20. |

I meant to do that for the 2nd helping last night but forgot. Last week I did do a microwaved potato then turned into lumpy mashed potato. I did top that with a juicy over-easy egg. Broke the yolk over it and it was very delicious. ![]() |

When we are, it's time to hustle to the grocery store. I put lettuce on all sorts of sandwiches. Chicken, turkey, fried egg.... Cindy Hamilton |

One herb I can definitely tell that will overpower a dish is sage. That is one addition I'm very, very careful when adding.
