The bacon in the photo looks closer to ham. What do they put on their bacon buttie? Is that pickled beets next to the sandwich...
Their bacon is wider than ours, sort of a long oval shape, but not Canadian. Streaky, they call it. And the stuff in the bowl is brown sauce, which they use on their butties like we put mayo on a BLT. I am a purist. I prefer my butties straight, just toast and bacon, preferably greasy so the toast has a little coating. Nirvana.
Brit bacon is a lot leaner than US bacon. But what is the brown sauce?
