  • Louie & Enzo make a couple of British sandwich staples: The bacon butty and the sausage sarnie.
    Thanks to MANY suggestions by viewers and others online!
    We kept the bacon butty simple...British style bacon on buttered toast. The sausage sarnie we played with a little more, putting ketchup on half and HP brown sauce on the other.
    Please let us know if we made these the way you'd make them or did we do it wrong?

    Most people won't toast the bread. They add butter to the sausage sandwich and lay the bread (called "dip") in the bacon fat first once the bacon is cooked, for that sandwich. I would want something like an egg if I was going to toast the bread.

    im from UK and i dont toast our bread i just use plain white brad buttered and then sliced sausage in the middle with a smearing of hp sauce or ketchup
    also brown sauce is a good sauce to add to gravy to spice it up a little...
    brown sauce has many uses i some times add pineapple chunks to it for BBQ food...

      So when you add water you are poaching the food in water... you certainly are not frying it. When you fry and the temp of the oil is much higher, at the point that the water content in the food suddenly reaches boiling temp, it spits out under pressure. So..in short.
      Adding water stops things frying.

    A few tips here;
    The bread from the Uk has a lot less sugar in it so it actually tastes really quite different, that said I don’t know what that particular loaf tastes like of course. Whilst I was in the US though all of the bread tasted sweet compared to our ‘run of the mill’ (see what I did there?) loaves.
    I know you were trying to make a video (a great one by the way!), but buttering the the bread the moment it comes out of the toaster so that it instantly melts into the toast, softens it and makes it even more buttery.
    A lot of people in the UK like to argue two things:
    Bread vs toast (I love toast)
    And red vs brown sauce (I love brown).
    I always put brown on both my sausage and bacon toast sandwiches, I love the tang.
    Most important tip; always follow up either of those sandwiches with a cuppa English tea (Yorkshire If you can get it). The two go together like a dream.

    We have bacon sandwiches and sausages in rolls on a regular basis here in the UK and I have never buttered the bread or rolls, it's a waste of butter, especially good quality butter such as Kerrygold. We grill both the bacon and the sausages . For the bacon, we pop the bread in the toaster just to get it a bit hardened up - about 45 seconds, put some brown sauce directly onto the unbuttered "toast", (both sides) and lay the bacon on top of it.
    For the sausages, we warm the rolls up at the bottom of the grill whilst grilling the sausages, when done we put mustard on one side of the rolls and tomato ketchup on the other, lay the sausages inside and enjoy.

    A valiant effort chaps but your main mistake was in toasting the bread. Also, I always add salt, black pepper & white pepper to taste. The quality of the bread will make a difference, (a nice, fresh, crusty yet doughy sourdough loaf would work wonders). When I halve the sausage I personally put them back in the pan to sear the freshly exposed inside. Cooking the bacon for longer will crisp up the rind. And, of course, why not have the sausage AND bacon in one sandwich?
    Seriously, try it with untoasted bread!

    That's a good job! I make bacon butties using untoasted bread then lightly toast the whole sandwich under the grill, and using good sourdough bread makes it even more tasty, to keep back bacon flat all you need to do is snip the layer of fat with scissors in a few places, that stops it curling up, but I'm one of the minority of Brits who prefers streaky bacon. We would fry bangers in a little oil, the secret to a good banger is fry on a low heat and the fat which comes out of the actual sausages goes kinda sticky and adds loads of flavour, sauce is purely personal, most have a preference but some people like both, garlic mayo is also really good on a bacon butty, but most fellow Brits would revoke my British citizenship for saying that! 🤣

    The butter is a good type to use even in England, and HP sauce is my default; but you really poured it on. The red sauce was Heinz, but I've heard the Americans like everything ultra sugary so maybe a bit too sweet for me. I've never seen anyone use water instead of a bit of oil, but it looked like they turned out okay. A good go and I'd have been happy with them, but even happier if you had put a fried egg with a runny yolk onto them as well.

    The bacon is overcooked, also spicy food for breakfast is not a particularly British thing, apart from Devilled Kidneys. Traditional breakfast foods would include Kippers (smoked herring), bacon and eggs, sausage and egg, the Full English / Scottish/ Welsh / Ulster Fry, porridge (very Scottish, unsweetened with salt), toast and baked beans. British Sausages tend not to be spicy, although Cumberland sausages have a mix of herbs and spices and

    usually you don't heat the pan before starting the bacon. Both the bacon and pan are cold. Maybe you need oil now because the bacon these days doesn't have as much fat! In the "olden" days people always put butter on the plain bread to keep the fillings from making the bread soggy.

      I always pre-heat the pan and love the way the bacon comes out :) This was British-style bacon which has less fat than American-style bacon, but still plenty enough to not have to use oil (IMO). American-style bacon still has loads of fat so no worries there for sure!
