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.
Pork fat doesn't care. A y contaminants are pretty well fries after that. Lurpak is cold, as is everything else. Then again, wiping the knife on a cloth dies fuckakl for cross contamination.
Lurpack (the company) was formed from a grouping of several different Danish dairies in 1901. Lurpack spreadable came along 90 years later in 1991 :) .
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.
Something we do here in Maine, which I'd never seen before, is spreading a bit of mayonnaise on the outside of sandwiches and lightly toasting them in the pan. Yummmm. That's how it's done on lobster rolls, usually.
its because shes a miserable entitled talentless rich kid whose parents got her a job she is completely ill equipped for. PLEASE KEEP LUCY BEHIND THE CAMERA.
Crispy streaky bacon on a lightly toasted teacake with a drizzle of brown sauce (not HP). The savoury of the bacon contrasts with the sweetness of the raisins in the teacake. Beautiful. P.S. rocket is rank
My favourite bacon samey, bread put in the toasted sandwich maker and flattened and toasted like about 2mm thick, cool, put on crispy streaky bacon, thinly cut tomato, black pepper, white pepper and a very finely ground sprinkle of Himalayan salt, yummy. Dress it up a bit for lunch with finely cut onions and grated cheese, jam it all under the grill.
as they concluded, these are different things, I do like Lucys sandwich, sounds very nice and I've been very happy with similar, but I'd call it something else, it fills a different spot than a classic wonderful bacon sandwich does. a bacon n tomato sandwich and a bacon sandwich belong in their own category.
In the US we put mayo on our bacon sandwiches and we call them BLTs, for bacon lettuce tomato, and they're served on mildly toasted bread. The mayo, bacon, and tomato combine to form a very nice flavor. Butter would seem a bit lacking in flavor from that perspective I think
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.
Until this series appeared, I never realized that buttering one side of the bread was an essential part of the qualification to what is considered sandwich in England 🤔🤔
Needs more bacon. Also I think she over cooked the bacon 🥓 I don't want it to crunch. James sandwich sounds better for breakfast. I agree hers would make a nice lunch.
When Lucy fried her English bacon with James' streaky rashers, her bacons' flavor benefitted from the extra fat. A fair contest would have the bacon cooked separately.
Lucy’s looks astonishingly like an American BLT, with something subbed out for the lettuce 🥬 English back bacon and American-style streaky bacon are both great, just different.
James made a bacon sandwich. Lucy made a BLT (except with rocket instead of lettuce). A BLT is a sandwich with bacon in it, but it is not a bacon sandwich. Each sandwich has its own merits and its own place - which in the case of a BLT is not in a bacon sandwich contest.
@@Jan_Iedema the meaning is that the tomato has a more prominent role in the sandwich. For example, we could say James May made a bacon with tomato sandwich (because of the ketchup), while Lucy made a tomato sandwich with bacon. The favour of the bacon would be more prominent in James May's sandwich while the tomatoes would be more prominent in Lucy's sandwich.
Best Ever: Two slices of sandwich bread, no butter, four slices of fatty, streaky bacon in a cold air fryer for three minutes at 200C (plus the additional pre-heat time), slap the bacon on the bread, add a touch of salt if needed, lots of black pepper and drizzle on some HP sauce! Eat with sweet black tea and enjoy so much you repeat - Magic!
People and today many men as well (pun intended) are wasting a lot of the morning in front of a mirror. I'd rather use it productively on a proper breakslow.
Is the bacon sandwich comfort food in Britain? Around here you always make a "posh" sandwich with it: smoked bacon, tomatoes, arugula, balsamic vinegar, etc
