Do you like mustard?

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

mayonnaise is perfect for a BLT though.

Yeah, I agree there, but to me a blt is cold, and a lunch time thing, where as a bacon sandwich is a breakfast thing and warm, on crusty bread with dripping melty butter and brown sauce.

absolutely

either one of those sounds very good to me right now, though!

Isn't there already a bacon thread? I thought this was about mustard

 

[Orang Utan]

It's about bacon at the mo cos we're all talking about bacon

 

[fredfelt]

Yum. Mustard. Most meals are improved by when you draw upon an ingredient for its trigeminal qualities.

Interesting thread. More proof that Canada is wrong about everything, of course, but interesting nonetheless. It's a pity though. I'd like to see parts of the Canadian mountains but without some proselytizing nutter banging on incessantly ABOOT how great his/her country is while trying to make me eat a 'bacon sandwich' that is essentially coagulated fat with mayonnaise on it.

For a fraction of the cost I can witness the glory of Everest or the Annapurna range accompanied by a non-proselytizing, nice person who will provide me with a thali breakast of firey samosas, pakora, dhaal bhaat, lime pickle, buttered chapatis and the finest masala chai available to humanity. Ask discreetly and I may be able to complete my breakfast with an enervating chillum of the finest Nepalese temple balls to set me up for a day's revelling in the beauty of the Himalayas. Discounting the hash, I'd put a meal like that at under 100 Nepalese rupees (£1.20 or 1.85 canadian dollars).

To conclude then, Canadians lack behind many parts of the developing world. They don't know what bacon is. They can't even say the word 'about' properly. Isn't it about time we called the World Health Organisation in and started airdropping food parcels?

I can't get my head around putting mayonnaise on a fried egg and bacon sandwich, I am sorry. It's like telling me that water runs uphill, it just goes against everything I know and understand.

Mayonnaise is OK but it has limited uses. Goes well with cheese and chips.

This is as wrong as putting it in a fried egg and bacon sandwich. Sorry.

Here's something from New Zealand called a 'bacon buttie'.

For real blokes

Method

1. Cut bacon into bite-sized pieces.
2. Stir fry the bacon in a heavy fry pan or cook in the microwave.
3. Spread bread with mayonnaise.
4. Add the bacon.
5. Smother with Sweet Chili Sauce.
6. Slap it together- and eat.

This man shouldn't be allowed near a kitchen.

Did someone say American "mustard" should be renamed "yellow" by trades description and the EU, and get jumped on, or something?

They got agreed with by some of us.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Yep it is. It's what Brits put in bacon sandwiches

As do the Irish, who reckon they know a thing or two about bacon sandwiches.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Then it's a ham sandwich.

Ham is cured (dry-cured or brined) on-the-bone shoulder pork that is boiled or roast and then served hot or cold, or it is air-cured shoulder pork that isn't cooked at all.

Totally distinct from bacon, which is flank, belly or back pork that is either dry-cured or brined, then sliced and then fried or grilled/griddled.

Why do Americans put cocktails sticks in a sandwich they intend to eat?

Sympathetic magic. They believe that if they eat wood, they'll get "wood".

 

[xenon]

haven't actually eaten bacon in weeks but I keep looking at this thread. I've had an apple for breakfast and have to wait in for a parcel.

 

[danny la rouge]

Quite right. There should be a separate name for such fare, just as white "chocolate" should be called "cocoa and chocolate production waste residue" or "the fat that remains after chocolate has been made", or some snappier (but accurate) name.

Mayo in a bacon sandwhich

Now a bacon sandwich in Mayo, on the other hand...

We burned it, not you.

Admiral Cockburn and his ex-slaves did, you mean.

I love sweet chili sauce*, that sounds good.


*it's very hard to find around here though

We get a nice sweet chilli, ginger and garlic sauce. Beautiful on scrambled eggs.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Asian supermakets (the crumbier looking the better IME) always sell the best chilli sauce, the best is the stuff with no English on the label.

I beg to differ. Lingham's sweet chilli sauce is the best, and it most definitely has English on the label.

 

[Firky]

That is pretty good as is that one with the orange label, Mai Ploy or something. Good thing is most supermarkets sell both. But obviously not in the US of A ((((yanks))))

 

[Voley]

I think this is what passes for Thai sweet chilli in America:

After skimming this thread, I went to the shops and have just eaten rashers of bacon with fried eggs on toast.

It could only have been better if the toast had been fried bread.

Well, there were a bunch to choose from when I lived just outside the city, but now I live about an hour away and they do have them at the grocery store but they're expensive and not as good.

full fry up for tea tonight

 

[Miss Caphat]

why do some of you always resort to the whole food superiority shtick? is it supposed to be funny? or is it supposed to be ironic because of your world-wide reputation for bad food?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Sympathetic magic. They believe that if they eat wood, they'll get "wood".

Most coctail sticks are made from plastic. What do you get if you eat plastic?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Admiral Cockburn and his ex-slaves did, you mean.

Your posts on this thread have been top-notch, btw.

 

[dogDBC]

...really?

I hope you put mayonnaise on that.

you've really never heard that before?
it always went like that: bad food, bad teeth, pompous attitude. sorry
you're also really well-loved for the Beatles, your comedy, and the royals (sorry again)
