    Yes, I did my own experiments on this a while back. Posh bread or normal sliced white bread? Toasted or untoasted? With butter or without butter? Ketchup or other condiments/relishes? Anything else, like gherkins, jalapenos, rocket, lettuce? I went through all of these considerations.
    I found the best bacon sandwich is one made from normal untoasted white bread, butter, ketchup, and well done, leave-the-fat on bacon. That's it. There is beauty in the simplicity.

    • @seantynan1

    This is certainly an each to their own kinda thing, for me I love a bacon sandwich to be just that. bacon, bread butter and hp (brown) sauce for me, although I love my bacon to be more crispy with the fat rendered to be nice n crisp. Just a tiniest bit of oil in the pan the rest cooks from the fat. Also on the odd occasion throw a partially runny egg on top if I'm feeling a little more hungry.

    James, With a heavy heart, I regret to inform you that you have made a semi-industrial sandwich. A true industrial bacon sandwich is a follows: 1}. The same bread, or equivalent, that you used - lightly toasted (optional). 2}. Streaky bacon - of course! 3) A generous amount of peanut butter spread onto each slice of bread. 4) Perfectly cooked afore mentioned bacon stacked onto 1 slice of bread. 5). For the gourmet option - iceberg lettuce stacked onto the bacon. 6) Cover with the other slice of bread. 7). Eat and thou shall be fully fueled for many more hours of industrial work.
