Sacrilegious ingrates! How dare they change outer package of Oscar bacon without the major consent of the American people.
6 lb. half slab of hickory smoked lean bacon for only $25 at my butcher.
Bacon is the food of the gods.
Bacon rocks for sure.
Relative to the BLT, I agree that you need to use Hellmann's mayonaise (called Best Foods west of the Rockies I believe). A fresh vine ripened tomato is key. I spent summers at the Shore in NJ and Jersey tomatoes were great for this, especially in late July/early August. You need a bit of salt for the tomato, some course sea salt works nicely. Fresh ground black pepper applied to the mayo on both pieces of bread. As for the bread, I think it needs to be lightly toasted and relatively thin, say a nice piece of rye bread although white works fine too. Lastly, the lettuce has to be fresh and crispy, and iceberg works well here, although other varieties can be used. I like relatively thin strips of bacon cooked just past chewy - the strip still needs to droop if you hold it from one end. I don't mind a nice slice of American or cheddar cheese.
Making me hungry.

Btw, turkey bacon isn't real bacon. I had to find that out the hard way.

Sounds good. A nice change of pace from the common BLT though is to use a couple of slices of fried green tomatoes with a good crunchy breading and a dash of cajun seasoning. Extra bacon always a plus.

I have decided to be merciful and forgive all those who would dare pollute the purity and wonderousness that is bacon with the abomination known as mayonnaise. Clearly, you are all under Belgian mind control.
2. There does not exist a food that does not go well with bacon.
You are coming dangerously close to violating the rules. If you continue in this fashion, we may have to ask you to leave the thread.
So when you make any sort of bacon sandwich what are key ingredients besides the Bacon?
I like good ripe tomato, boston lettuce and mayo (Hellmann's Mayo) I have been known to make my own mayo as well as a pesto mayo. I like a hearty bread too no wonder bread please.
Thoughts suggestions?
Having NOT read the entire thread I apologize if this combo has already been mentioned but a good thick cut bacon sandwich is made up of nice warm bacon fresh from the frying pan on two pieces of toast on a layer of peanut butter.
Sounds strange but it's very good.

Who ever said I consider mayonnaise a food? More like the substance I would expect to find oozing out of a Juiblex's ass crack (if it had one).
Yankies have Wegman's grocery stores.
Wegman's has a house brand of dressing called 'carmelized onion and bacon'.
Said dressing is awsome on fries, chips, and burgers, and could be used as a replacement for mayo on BLT's.
Great. I shouldn't have read this thread. Now I want a BLT sandwich.

Mayonnaise isn't food, it's spackle.
You are coming dangerously close to endorsing Belgian food thought.
Are you a secret Belgian? Are you trying to foul the world food suply with mayonnaise? Well, are you?

Although in the Belgians' defence - French fries are pretty darn good if you replace the mayo with something else. Like bacon.

Your blatant trollery will not sour my love of bacon.
Is there a rule about whether playing with my bacon is a good thing or a bad thing?
|
I've got a potential new rule to add:
Draft
If you flip it more than twice, you're playing with it.
This would be rule #13.
wait ... are you saying it's wrong to play with your bacon? I can understand if you were in a public restaurant, but in the privacy of your own kitchen?
More importantly, is there such a thing as playing too much with your bacon? Could doing so cause lasting damage?
Also, is there any truth to the saying that is you keep playing with your bacon, you'll have greasy palms? Could playing with your bacon make you go blind?
Had an amazing serving of bacon crusted with black pepper today....yum.

OK, you convinced me to go to 12 Bones for lunch. The house of all that is pork based. Their BLT is thick cut, in house hickory smoked sugar bacon on Texas toast with fried green tomatoes, lettuce and a basil mayo that is freaking out of this world.

No. We make no judgement. However, bacon is a gift to mankind, to be consumed. Playing with it, you prevent the bacon from fulfilling its destiny.

That sounds delicious. Texas toast is a good call.
Man, Bacon cheese omelet with hot sauce this morning. Talk about yum.
Joe Bacon would like to help but he's too busy being ... Delicious.
