Looks good, but I think you might be lost. Where's the question?

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmus.org 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Thought I’d post what I made to show you folks.

Not sure about a question, but I was just showing this community what I made for lunch because I hear that BLTs are really popular in Britain.

I don't eat bacon myself, but it does look tasty. Thanks for taking the time to share.

The thread feels very British

The pickle with the chips is a nice touch. I will have to try that sometime

If it was a huge success then feel free to post the details to recipes.

I feel like the recipe for a BLT sandwich is captured pretty well just by its own name haha

There's crisps and a massive gherkin too. We don't even know what flavour of crisps they are. Was the thickness of the slices of tomato a deliberate choice? So many questions.

You might feel like that but… what kind of lettuce? What breed of tomatoes? What cut of bacon: back, middle, or streaky? Smoked or unsmoked? Fried, grilled, or baked? What kind of bread? Any butter? Mayonnaise? Salad cream? Any salt and pepper? If pepper, black or white?

A great BLT is a thing of utter joy, easily and deservedly one of the best sarnies in the world. But the details matter.

You can't it but I'm crying and saluting right now
