Why Do You Think Bacon Buttys Never Caught On in the U.S.?

Thanks for the link, OP. What are you talking about?

America has pancakes.

Some fatty foreign bacon sandwich.

We have the BLT.

As a treat, my mom would serve peanut butter and bacon sandwiches to us as kids.

Now chip butties, there's a truly disgusting idea.

Is a bacon butty a breakfast item or a lunch item in the UK?

Fool's Gold was Elvis's favorite sandwich. It's a hollowed out loaf of bread filled with 1 lb. of bacon, a jar of peanut butter, and a jar of grape jelly.

How did Elvis die?

Ewwwww

In America we have the superior butt buddy.

Does a bacon butty have to include butter? I just like brown sauce.

Here you go courtesy of Jamie Oliver.

What's the difference between a butty and a sarnie?

I am guessing they are eaten for breakfast, brunch or lunch, correct?

R13 Nothing. really.

BLT OP

Now I'm craving a really good BLT on sourdough.

Sad!

I want a grilled bacon and American cheese on white.

Cheese and bacon??

It is was Daisy and Goslow would always be eatin if'n they ran out of crisps.

Butty is such a horrible, common word.

It is a bacon sandwich or roll. Though to answer your question I think it's down to the bacon used. We use back bacon whereas Americans tend to use streaky bacon. An entire breakfast sandwich of just streaky bacon with a bit of ketchup or brown sauce would be a bit much.

[quote]Butty is such a horrible, common word.

And it's part of why this sandwich never caught on here. 'Butt-y'. It just doesn't sound appetizing...to some.

For some reason several British delicacies haven't successfully crossed the pond. One example are faggots.

Another example is that dessert treat - spotted dick.

Is "brown sauce" the same thing as gravy, or is it more like a condiment?

I think it’s a condiment.

Put a couple of slices of crisp bacon in a pancake before you flip it so it cooks inside.

Dee-LISH!!!

It’s a condiment, sort of like barbecue sauce.

Gee, R25, we've never seen THAT before!!!!!!!

*rolls eyes*

Here is all you need to know about brown sauce - vile stuff.

Wait, this is a sandwich with bacon and ... peanut butter?

Absolutely vile.

Not peanut butter (this is the UK), just regular butter. Not sure if that sounds more appetizing or not.

I LOVE bacon sandwiches. No sauce, just bacon and white bread. American bacon.

Try white bread, bacon and cream cheese.

Cream cheese? BLECCH. No way?

This guy likes his bacon sarnies.

Plus he seems like he would be fun to share a pint and... looks like he throws a mean fuck?

R26: brown sauce would be steak sauce (A1, etc.) here.

R34 - best with peanut butter!

Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches are very popular in the US, especially during the summer when fresh tomatoes are available. I just eat bacon and lettuce sandwiches, since I think tomatoes just make sandwiches wet and sloppy. And (don't stone me), I keep the smallest jar of Miracle Whip for those (and only those), since that's the taste from my childhood.

R24 Faggots are good & good for you too! Just don't overdo it on the liver, and plenty of gravy.

R38, no, brown sauce is thicker than steak sauce, it’s more like barbecue sauce.

R38 More like American Heinz 57 Sauce... but darker, nowhere near as sweet as BBQ sauce.

If death via bacon roll isn’t coming quickly enough, the roll and fritter is the way to go. It’s a white roll (preferably a burnt McGhee’s morning roll) with a thick layer of salted butter, deep-fried battered potato slices, lots of salt, lots of vinegar.

"For some reason several British delicacies haven't successfully crossed the pond. One example are faggots."

And yet we had cumgum. With the flavor that just BURST in your mouth!

And don't the Italians have some pastry that means "angel tits" with the little raisons on the top for the nipples?

See, every country has this one thing they want to put into their mouths. Britain wants to the meatiest parts of the faggot into their mouths. Here in America, we're all about the sweet, sweet jizz, and even the gay Italian men are mama's boys. ESPECIALLY the gay ones.

This concludes this week's webisode "Going Around The World" and this time we're actually talking about sex AND travel.

Brown sauce is great, you bitches have no taste whatsoever.

'Tis R46. HP "Soss" & HP Curry are great on so many things.

most americans don't want to be reminded of asses while they are eating.

even though that's where it will all end up, anyway.

They are very much alive in Canada...love a bacon butty or a chip butty....,mmm, lovely Americans don't like beans on toasts like we do in Canada,,.must be a Commonwealth thing

"Most americans don't want to be reminded of asses while they are eating."

Yeah, it's all about boobs here.

actually, i love baked beans on toast.

always be sure to butter the toast first, though!

Sometimes I will get bacon on a buttered roll but usually I go for the whole bacon, egg and cheese. Actually a BLT sounds pretty delicious right now, I might make one when I get home though it is still a bit too early for tomatoes. R40, I like Miracle Whip on BLTs as well. Or the occasional bologna on white bread.

[quote]Not peanut butter (this is the UK), just regular butter.

Oh well that's completely different. Someone had said peanut butter and I thought, EWWW. Butter and bacon is delicious, although it's a heart attack on a bun.

Why is it called butty though? Why not just butter?

Also, is peanut butter completely foreign in the UK? Like an alien spread?

We don't know what "back bacon" is in the US, and it isn't for sale here. That's what you need for the Real Thing.

Wait, back bacon is just Canadian bacon, right? You can get that here.

Back bacon has only a part of the loin in it, and is saltier and fattier than "Canadian Bacon."

Matter of preference I think -- I prefer the pure belly to the loin or the combo.

R57 Ew the "back bacon" looks like those gross pieces you sometimes get that are so chewy and tough you can't eat them. I had my first grilled cheese and bacon sandwich at a place call Attman's Deli in Baltimore. A Jewish deli! It was delicious, btw.

[quote]And don't the Italians have some pastry that means "angel tits" with the little raisons on the top for the nipples?

Capezzoli di Venere (nipples of Venus), you dolt.

I'm American and I think I want to switch to British style back bacon. It's leaner, has more meat on it, and is generally better than American streaky bacon.

brown sauce in England varies by brand. it can be similar to A1 or Worcheshire or Heinz 57. HP Sauce the most popular kind has different varieties that all taste like Heinz 57, with one or two extra (or different) ingredients added to each kind of variety.

The official brown sauce of DL

The name is tacky.

Like those who say “uni” - you know what type you’re dealing with...

[quote] How did Elvis die?

Sitting on the toilet straining to pass 40 pounds of Fools Gold.

HP sauce is readily available in most large US cities, and I think a lot of people have tried it at this point, have they not? This is the year 2018, after all. Who hasn't been to London?

I was just trying to be helpful and giving a rough equivalent, not saying that brown sauce is always exactly the same as A1.

HP sauce has a "fruity" flavor in addition to regular flavor. Does A1 have a fruity flavor? I think not!

I love a bacon butty and a mug of tea in the morning. Dash of HP sauce on it.

Bloody lovely!

Paul McCartney used to talk about eating jam booties. Is a bootie a butty?

Bacon and peanut butter sandwiches tasted like greasy peanuts to me

My sister went through a phase of peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I demanded my mother make one for me and it was putrid.

My mother kept a pan of used bacon grease in the stove at all times. We fried eggs in it. Or home fries. The bacon grease never went bad.

[quote]Does A1 have a fruity flavor?

A1 has raisin paste and crushed orange purée pretty high in the list of ingredients.

R66, yes those who want to try HP Sauce, have done so ... Cost Plus/World Market carries it ....

The name is unappetizing. Why “butte” and not sandwich?

I love a good basic BLT, light on the Ts.

Butty, I assume, means the bread is buttered?

To clarify, most Canadians ear regular "American style" bacon. Candian bacon is called Peamale Bacon (or back bacon) and is popular not not what the average person consumes when it comes to bacon

I think we all really want to know why the term "butty" is used -- it continues to perplex. Can someone explain?

r77 I think you mean PeaMEAL, not -MALE.

And once we've figured out "butty," can we work on "sarnie?"

Let's not bite off more than we can chew, r80! One at a time.

Fuck off, r79. Your deadnaming is literally genocide!

Some peas are peamale bacon.

Some peamale bacon is pea.

Some peas are peameal bacon.

Some peameal bacon is pea.

DEAL WITH IT.

£230 well spent!

[quote]A plane passenger who flew into a rage after being denied a bacon roll by cabin crew has been fined £230.

[quote]Ronald James, 68, shouted at staff and "poked them with his finger", leaving one in tears when his demand to see the captain was refused, a court heard.

[quote]The argument lasted for "a couple of minutes" when the flight was 25 minutes from landing in Exeter, Devon.

[quote]Ms Baker said the row started because Mr James had "promised" his grand-daughter a bacon roll which wasn't available on the flight.

[quote]Mr James - representing himself - told the magistrates: "We had no breakfast, my granddaughter had been pushing for something to eat, and I said wait until we are on the plane."

[quote]After buying beef burgers that were "dried out", Mr James was given a refund, but said it "wasn't enough".

[quote]He said he wanted to speak to the captain to suggest that customers should be warned at check-in that there would be "no hot food".

I never heard of a bacon butty until I started watching "Keeping Up Appearances." Onslow is always asking for one.
