It's a bacon sandwich sort of day

[TheArtfulDogger]

Up early (new time) after clocks changed

Foggy morning

Recovering from dog flu

Bacon sandwich sounds the perfect pick me up

[Help-Ma-Boab]

I had a belter this morning Artful. Toasted and buttered sourdough, fried back bacon with mushrooms and tomato fried in butter. Smear of broon sauce onto the buttered toast and mixed in with melted butter.Barry likesay.

Just a light breakfast for me..

3 Rashers grilled sreaky bacon .. 2 slices of sourdough fried in olive oil.. 1 Tangerine.. Tea.

Bacon sandwich alert, anyone fancy bringing me one, 'No' I hear you say. Oh well, I'll don my clothes and get out of my sick bed as I'm sick of it. Bacon sandwich here I come, you better be worth it.

Add good old home made chicken soup to the menu as that will do you the world of good 😉

Had a delicious one at The Pigeon Hole off Camberwell Church Street. Lovely fresh crusty bread, loads of butter and bacon. A dash of brown sauce (a proper bacon sandwich should never contain additional ingredients beyond a sauce.)

[uncleglen]

Yes it should- it should have a fried egg in it

[edcam]

Then it's an egg and bacon sandwich. Very nice indeed but not the real thing.

I like to add avocado lettuce and sliced tomatoes to my organic free from dairy streaky bacon sandwich. Maybe some sort of poncy sauce no ones ever heard of on top just to finish off the 'look at me' ingredient mix, and to sound like I know what I'm talking about. Mmmmm, all washed down with some sort of herbal tea. Yum.

Oh dear, 'that' Louisa is back

Wine?

[Louisa]

Is that the irony light flashing or is someone having a sense of humour fly pass? Oops too late it's gone.

Louisa.

[Seabag]

Definitely wine.

Was that a dig at me? Sounds similar to something I posted before. Except the lettuce, which is pure affectation.

That is simply NOT a bacon sarnie not matter how you try to dress it ;-)

Bacon fried in a frying pan until the rind is just burnt crispy served in factory white bread with proper butter. No sauce. 2 rounds of - that's 4 slices of bread.

Don't eat meat myself but dieting friends have gone for Sainsbury's smoked bacon medallions - grilled they're only 65 calories per two slices and 50% less fat than standard bacon.

[DulwichFox]

I can remember when I first started work.. 1968 A small Italian Cafe in Copthall Avenue off of London Wall.

Bacon Roll 6d and mug of Tea 2d. about 4p in total. They had a Dumb-Waiter and the guy would shout out.

'HEY.. One'a Bacon'a Roll'a from'a the Kitchen. '

Geasy undercooked bacon with a thick rind on in a crasty roll.

Cook in oven on a rack, that way the fat drains away. Also put on kitchen roll before eating for extra fat removal.

Just as I wouldn't go to Philip Morris' website to find out about the risks of smoking, not sure I'd take "BaconToday" as my gospel of the benefits or otherwise of bacon!

"Bacon, ham and sausages rank alongside cigarettes as a major cause of cancer, the World Health Organisation has said, placing cured and processed meats in the same category as asbestos, alcohol, arsenic and tobacco. The report from the WHO?s International Agency for Research on Cancer said there was enough evidence to rank processed meats as group 1 carcinogens because of a causal link with bowel cancer."

Sorry, was making a point about there being alternative views, not trying to put anyone off their bacon sarnie!
