A British woman surprised her American husband by making a bacon sandwich the traditional 'English' way - and says he was bowled over by the tasty treat. But her recipe for the perfect snack has left many others in the US in uproar.
Caroline Parker, who now lives in Boston, Massachusetts, recently took to TikTok to divulge the secrets to the popular dish.
The mom-of-two revealed the ingredients that go into the perfect creation and also revealed that the key was not toasting the bread.
But other social media users were left stunned by the process and did not hold back in the comments.
In the clip, which has so far been viewed more than 2.1 million times, Caroline can be seen standing in her kitchen as she speaks directly to camera.
Holding a frozen loaf of bread and pack of bacon, she begins: 'I am going to make my American husband an English bacon sandwich because I went to the Irish shop... don't ask me how much I spent.'
She defrosts the bread as she explains: 'There's a big difference between American and English bread - if you know, you know.'
Caroline continues: 'Compared to American bacon, you have to put a little bit of oil in the pan because it just has less fat.
'Obviously with streaky bacon, you don't need oil. I made that mistake when I first moved here.
'I prefer my bacon like this but that is definitely just because I'm used to it. This is what we eat back home. I don't know if my husband likes it like this but he's going to have it.'
She lets the bacon cook away in a frying pan before turning her attention to making the perfect bready base.

Yep the only palatable restaurant food I ate there was American dishes, and they probably came from a can or microwave meal. Late 80s/early 90s.
I quickly realized why nowhere in the world are there any English chain restaurants/places, or anywhere heralding their large amount of british cuisine eateries.
Gordon Ramsay’s in Las Vegas, Katie Downs (Halibut) in Tacoma…and way back in the day (60s and 70s) there was a west coast fast food fish and chips place called H. Salt that was incredible compared to anything you see today outside of high-end places.
Don’t forget the malt vinegar.
LOL !!! BoC (Breakfast of Champions)
In that case You will need some Biscuits and Peppered Sausage Cream Gravy and a few Brewski’s to wash it down with !!
You’ll have sausage around for the meatloaf anyway...

Arthur Treacher’s Fish and Chips. Didn’t they more or less become part of Long John Silver’s?
Malt vinegar.
Behold! Journalism in 2023.
(Yes, I know it’s the DM.)
They were much better than Long John Silvers. Not as greasy.
There are no great English or Irish chefs. I’m an Italian trapped in an Irish body.
