Have you ever had a BLT?

[Blue-Jay]

How did you handle it?

I prefer mine with crispy bacon and Miracle Whip with toasted wheat bread.

[GOPisEvil]

1. With crispy bacon and mayo on toasted white bread.

[Roon]

2. I like mine

whole wheat bread, turkey bacon,and fat free mayo...YUM!!

[eyesroll]

3. Best BLT ever:

(I'm sure I'm mangling some spelling here):

• Ciabatta bread
• Olive-oil mayo (homemade if you have time)
• Neuskes smoked bacon, cooked crisp but not burnt
• Heirloom tomatoes
• Boston lettuce

[Blue-Jay]

5. I don't know what any of that shit is.

Boston lettuce? The mind boggles.

[prolesunited]

9. All it means

is their grocery bill is much higher than ours. :P

[eyesroll]

16. OK... I've had that whole shebang once. But it was good!

:D

Actually, you can grow/bake this stuff yourself (except the bacon) and it doesn't cost much. Heirloom tomatoes grown in one's backyard are only a few cents more per tomato than regular ones, and are far less than the chemically treated baseballs at the supermarket.

The bacon only costs maybe $1-$2 per pound more than the regular bacon, but you need less of it.

But, yeah, a plain old, wheat/iceberg/oscar meyer/hellmans BLT can be a very good thing.
One thing I will NOT compromise on is tomatoes -- I really don't eat too many out of season. I got spoiled and haven't looked back.

12. BLT snobbery!

I like mine grilled on sourdough bread. With real mayo, not Miracle Whip.

[AlCzervik]

14. thats a fancy schmancy blt, sounds yummy.

[philosophie_en_rose]

4. Sure.

Crispy, fatty bacon. Mayo. On toasted, sliced french bread. With a cup or so of spring salad mix. Yum!

[flamingyouth]

6. Only once.

And I threw up afterward. :puke:

[Fenris]

8. Really?

:D

[flamingyouth]

10. Yes.

Cue the horrible childhood memory. x(

[Inspired]

13. A BLT made you vomit?

[flamingyouth]

15. I think I was coming down with a stomach virus.

But you know how when you get sick and you think of the last thing you ate...? ugh

[Inspired]

18. Oh, I see.

Same thing with canned, crushed pineapple for me.

[flvegan]

7. Mmmmm...BLT

Smart Bacon (vegan) for me, with romaine or red leaf lettuce, roma or plum tomato and Veganaise spread.

[TheProphetess]

11. I'll take mine just like that only different

bread, that is. I'm a white bread-er!

[blockhead]

17. Black Lab on Toast?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. I like mine on rye...

not toasted, and with those wonderful caraway seeds... :9

Oh yeah...it must have mayo, and the tomatoes should come straight from the garden, if possible!

[jane_pippin]

20. Of course. It's a damn fine sandwich and I commend your choice.

[Orsino]

21. Crispy bacon, of course.

What many sandwich shops pretend not to remember is that bacon is supposed to make noise when you eat it. Why, oh why does it take an act of Congress to get it cooked all the way?

[Beausoir]

22. BLFGT

Bacon, lettuce and fried green tomatoes.

With a little mayo and some hot sauce sprinkled over the whole thing.

[swag]

23. Man, finally someone who knows how to make a BLT.

Miracle Whip is essential to a tasty BLT.

I praise you to the skies.
