Bacon butty Sandwich

Hi Friends! This post is in honor of bacon and National Sandwich Month. I'm doing a series of sandwich posts for you guys in honor of the love of sandwiches. Ok, let's talk about the bacon butty sandwich.

......................................................★☆★......................................................

"A bacon sandwich (also bacon sarnie or bacon butty (UK) and bacon sanger or pigwich (Aus) or "piece 'n' bacon" (Scotland) is a form of sandwich made from two pieces of brown bread that's usually buttered, a larger-than-typical amount of cooked bacon, assembled to form a bacon sandwich.

What Sauce is used on a Bacon Sandwich?

Often some form of sauce, such as tomato ketchup or brown sauce, is included. (HP Sauce advertises itself as the perfect complement to a bacon sandwich.) HP Sauce has a malt vinegar base blended with fruit and spices and is usually eaten as an adjunct to hot or cold savory food or used as an ingredient in soups or stews.

"Steak sauce (in North America)—brown sauce (in the British Isles)—is a generic term for a dark brown sauce commonly served as a condiment for meat. In the United States, as its name implies, the sauces is predominantly associated with beef, while elsewhere it is often used on a variety of foods."

"The most well-known brands are A1 Steak Sauce in the United States, and HP Sauce in the United Kingdom. In the UK brown sauce is also popular on bacon sandwiches and pie and mash."

United Kingdom Favorite

"Bacon sandwiches are an all-day favorite throughout the United Kingdom. Rarely found on the menus of high-class restaurants, they are often served in greasy spoons. Other ingredients such as sausage, cheese, fried or scrambled eggs, mushroom and baked beans are often added."

Variation

A variant of the bacon sandwich is the BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich.

This sandwich is so popular that it has its very own holiday celebrated the month of April- National BLT Sandwich Month

Hangover cure

Traditionally regarded as a hangover cure, in April 2009 researchers found that the dish's high level of amines could indeed help alleviate the effects of a hangover.
