Thread Name: BS: English Sandwich?
Subject: RE: BS: English Sandwich?
Never had anything like those, and I can't say I'm tempted. But over here in the U.S. we specialize (in season) in BLTs. I make homemade bread and toast it, then use a good slathering of mayonaise, crisp lettuce, a ripe garden tomato (grocery store kind just doesn't work--it has to be so ripe and sweet and acid it takes the enamel off your teeth) and crisp slices (rashers to you Brits) of bacon. Two or three, depending on the thickness or size.

Assemble it carefully, then with the flat of your hand, lean on the sandwich and compress it all a bit. Don't cut it, bits will just fall out. Eat it over a plate or the sink, because the mayo won't glue everything in and the fresh tomatoes will drip.

Mmmmmmm!
