The BLT has been crowned the UK’s favourite sandwich for 2024 in a recent poll, with 28% of respondents saying they were a fan.

The combination of bacon, lettuce and tomato between slices of bread can be traced back to an entry in Good Housekeeping Everyday cookbook in 1903.

Dunno if it's my favourite, but every time I have a banana sandwich I always think why don't I eat these more often. It's especially good with a very malty bread and salted butter.

My Dad's favourite butty was a banana sarnie - just bread and lashings of butter.

A wise man.

One slice, wrapping the banana like a hot dog bun.

Errr, you're losing me a bit there - are we still in sandwich territory with this version? It's like a weird sausage roll now.

It has bread on both sides, so...

And that, despite what the ‘merkins might tell you, is essential for a sandwich. There’s no such thing as an open sandwich. That’s just stuff on a bit of bread.

That's why cheese and/or beans on toast is a different beast to a cheese and/or bean toasted sandwich.
