Bacon butty
Encyclopedia : B : BA : BAC : Bacon butty
A bacon butty is a form of butty (sandwich) made from bacon and white or brown bread, usually with some form of sauce, such as tomato ketchup or brown sauce. Streaky or back bacon may be used. Bacon butties are an all day favourite throughout the United Kingdom, similar to fish and chips or bangers and mash.
The ideal composition and preparation of a bacon butty is subject to debate (as with the perfect cup of tea). In any case, the bacon is cooked to preference, and placed between two slices of bread. Some may prefer no sauce at all, and this is referred to as a dry bacon butty. Similarly, some may prefer to cook the sauce with the bacon, called a buertoen.
An American alternative to the bacon butty is the BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich.
