Your BLT sandwiches....Do you prefer the thick sliced bacon or the thinner which (to me) crisps better) Here, it’s the thin crispy version. And how do you cook your bacon? Skillet, microwave, or in your oven? The oven method is a bit unorthodox for some but it really is easy, clean and very tasty.
Only tasted the first BLT when school age. Visiting my cousin (at that time was able to attend her elementary school classes with her) and my aunt made us lunches with BLT. The first bite was phenomenal and sandwiches were never the same ever again. Just plain white sandwich bread, and mayo with the B L & T. Down south most times mayo or Miracle Whip is used on sandwiches. Didn’t know about the butter alternative until as a child on vacation in North Dakota farmland. They used butter on everything. Even sandwiches. Still prefer mayo. Just a matter of taste I guess.
JT, this was when schools actually took pride in their school lunches. Back in the 1950’s and 60’s they actually served some mighty good vittles. What is offered today most normal folks would be ashamed to give to their dog. In fact, the SPCA would be knocking down your door, if it were even attempted.
Those poor kids today will grow up never knowing what they missed. Good? Bad? Perhaps it is better not knowing.
For sandwiches, I like the thinner bacon; I like it to crumble like glass :-)
I don’t think I ever had a BLT until I was almost grown; but I had learned about plain bacon sandwiches on white bread from a little kid friend, who shared hers with me. (She was Jewish, but I guess her family weren’t observant.) I thought it was wonderful, and asked my Gran to make them for me.
We occasionally do it in the oven; a co-worker taught me to sprinkle it with garlic powder, and that’s pretty nice.
