I’m worried that I’m no longer trendy. I happened to see some young thing on the television announcing how ‘old’ it was serving up a bacon sandwich cut into quarters. I always cut my sarnies into quarters ….. or, if feeling particularly jolly, into triangles………..
……… and then of course, there is the problem of brown or red sauce? Some advice would be most helpful ……. so long as you aren’t eating and talking at the same time of course …..

You’re getting old/trendy when you start wondering if you’re getting old/trendy.
Trendy is so…trendy. Classic is where it’s at!
I think I’m OK then …… probably ….. the TG says I’m a classic idiot on a daily basis ……
Corners=four squares?
I cut mine in half diagonally, then again the other way, making four triangles.
They are quite pleasing, and easier to nibble with proper etiquette than a wider quarter square.
…I’m finding the idea of a BLT done so enticing at the moment.
VIVE LE OINK!
(I had a gas attack before posting this comment)
This is very encouraging …… not the gas of course ….. although thinking about it ….. mmmmmmmm
Your comment reads as though thinking about John’s gas is prompted the ‘mmmmmmmm’ comment.
Have you two become that close?
I’m sure that was a mistake…
{{chortle, snigger and guffaw}}
Isn’t gas American for petrol or would that inflame the situation? ………
I’m not sure. I always use the ‘Canadian’ English grammar and spell-check on my Microsoft Word Program, so I’d have to go check. Does it have something to do with the answer to how close you and John have become? If so, I’ll go faithfully check it out; if not… well… I am fairly lazy as a secretary (and usually just try get by with a short skirt and some fishnet stockings) so would probably just not bother.
At your command boss…
I’ll phart in a bag and send it to the secretary for comparison.
That’ll make life much easier for her – thank you John – she’ll appreciate it I’m sure ……
gawd you are a Souvern softy … a bacon butty cut into 4 dainty triangles???? … you’ll be telling me next you carefully spread your sauce (red for me please) corner to corner directly onto the bread….
[you know what you have done now... I am going to have to get a bacon butty on the way to work now .... tsk!!]
Actually I just have a little pepper on mine. Perhaps it would be more manly if I cut my bacon sarnie into soldiers ……. would that help?
No brown or red sauce for me…
Mayo (or better still… Miracle Whip), freshly ground pepper, CRISP lettuce, and the tomatoes must be dabbed dry after cutting so as not to make the sandwhich all soggy, mushy and gross.
Cut in half diagonally and left that way! (No namby pamby triangles for me) and that’s a perfect BLT.
That’s a very good recipe – clear and succinct – the blogging world should thank you Fraccy …..
I wish they would, but alas…. all that usually happens is teasing and the calling of such traumatizing names like ‘arse’ and such. I tell you, I’ll never be the same person again…
OK a true British bacon butty….no namby pamby triangles .. no pepper (Frac you have been under his influence as sec too long) ..
come on who ever thought of putting lettuce with hot steaming bacon…
bacon has to be hot, crispy with butter melting and a smearing of red sauce to taste served on a ‘bin lid’ or white ‘totally unhealthy’ bread .. fabulous
[managed to resist the 'butty' this morning by making scrambled eggs on toast this morning... phew!]
That’s the Northerners recipe – they have completely different standards [this is why anything North of Tunbridge Wells is a mystery to me because of passport issues]
4 triangles for me too
I’m beginning to feel much more comfortable about my habits now …… *sigh*
Oh my I just had a yummy BLT yesterday while I was out with my friend to the the hospital.
I’m a two way girl myself. I only slice it twice!
And Angelika is right…classic is always better than trendy.
What is brown or red sauce? I always put mayo on my BLT’S!
Happy day and see I did get up early!!:-)
Brown sauce is spicy and the red is tomato – both of which I have tried but just pepper suits me fine. I might try the mayo though …….. what the heck!!
[Hope your friend's op goes/went ok]
no longer trendy? ummm….. right…
Having been a trendsetter for the majority of my life ….. mmmmmmmmm ……. you’re right ……… right
There’s nothing un-trendy about claymation, that much I know-
Oh, and red sauce, clearly.
Tea, good sir?
My bladder overfloweth …….. yes please …..
Red Sauce? Ick.
And frankly… if you’re going to overflow his bladder (entirely different in experience than Olga’s cups overflowing) I do hope you’re planning to stop by the office and assist him. I do not get paid enough for that…
I can manage on my own thank you …….. just about …
You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that DP. However… had it come to that, I’m sure The Rev. would be nothing less than professional.
The guiding hand no doubt …….
As doth mine.
Hopefully you’re not putting mayonnaise on those bacon sandwiches….
My interest in bacon sandwiches has waned at this moment – I’ve just found a bottle of gin …… which goes with almost anything – tee hee
That it does, my good man.
Being so far behind you (timewise, that is), our taste buds are often misaligned. I shan’t be having any gin for a few hours yet-
It doesn’t go with red sauce though ….. *yuck* *spit*
You tried red sauce with gin?
Sacrilege! Everyone knows you have mayo with gin!
(Australia runs on red sauce – without it the country would grind to a halt. Pie ‘n sauce – the true Aussie meal.)
I’m told that Gt Britain runs on a combination of red and brown …….. but I could be mistaken ….
I wouldn’t worry about being trendy or not dear elder surfer of the papyrus… you are what’s known as timeless.
…and not old as the hills, such as the hills in Canada, no doubt. tee hee
Why do I find that comment a tad worrying young Fraccy ……?
I was never trendy. In my slice of sub culture “trendy” was a swear word (honest). I’m all for big messy sangers with tomato sauce and too much butter in thick fresh bread. Ideally with a big drink of OJ and another one of hot tea/coffee.
Hello “Lord” Matt [I do love a chap in apostrophes] – however bacon arrives it’s always welcome. I took the TG out to lunch the other day to the burgher van outside B&Q and we had a very similar experience – luverly. I do like to treat her every now and again ………
huh ?? !!! I’m totally lost- this sandwich lingo stuff
can you do a sandwich 101 ?
Red sauce – I hope its ketchup
… now that is something I like to dip my buttered toast in for brekkie * massive grin*.
Now Cheese Whiz…..
A sandwich 101? Please explain ….. I would be most grateful …….
Crispy side of burntish please – no sauce – oh and you can cut them how you like!!!!!
I’ll go that ……..
Where’s the ‘for’ for goodness sake …….
YEAH!!!!!!!! na na nee na na
What the heck are you doing fossicking at this time of night? ………
