Barbie!!! That's the fire from OZ! Now they will get involved. I think they put 'roo and sheep on the barbie-

About every two weeks (fortnight) we make our own version of a bacon butty, cocking a snook at the good diet people.

1. Rather thick slices of white bread

2. Fry Thick-sliced bacon (we use Schneiders) but not to crispness-       it must be on the limp side.
3. Slice aged white cheddar
4. Slice good tomatoes

Put the above between the bread slices. The bacon should be hot from the frying. The cheese should be slightly melted, which means a little top burner heat before adding the tomato and top bread slice. Toast in an oven or toaster-oven, buttering the bread and turning it over to butter both sides.
Serve on a warm plate.

We slice into two rectangular halves for easier handling.

Once we did the sandwiches monte cristo style, coating with beaten egg and frying, but, to use an old expression, that is too much sugar for a dime.
