>a sandwich with just toppings
i don't get it. might as well have a ketchup sandwich

>>19324636
You forgot mayo so that's 3 words

one of the best sandwiches, but only with a great tomato.

>>19324636
not enough mayo

Nothing beats the sausage and egg

Yumyum

discuss the BLT
mayo or dry?
bacon crunch or soft?
Loaded with bacon, or should it have simpler proportions (2 or 3 strips of bacon for the average sized BLT)
lettuce shredded or leaf?
bread toasted or fresh?

is a BLT just good or can it be 'transcendent'. Some people like to put cheese on it too, like provolone. Is this legit?

>>19324789
Mayo
Crunch
Loaded
Leaf
Toasted

It's not debatable

I like BLTs but only without tomato

>>19324636
for me, it's bacon, lettuce, and pico de gallo

cream cheese blts >

>>19324636
All it needs is some aged cheddar

>>19324789
Mayo on both pieces of bread
Semi-crunch bacon
A healthy amount, maybe 5 slices
Shredded, leaf runs the risk of taking a bite and dragging the entire leaf out. Also the stem messes up the geometry
Lightly toasted bread. If it's toasted too hard it cuts up the roof of your mouth, if it's not toasted at all it starts to sag

A BLT can most definitely be transcendent. Sandwiches that are overly complicated have the max potential of reaching "great" but a sandwich that literally only has 3 ingredients has a much higher potential. Easy to make, hard to master.

The BLT can also have cheese, and I even put ham in it. A BLT that is only bacon lacks chew and body.

>>19324636
That's 3 words dumbass

>>19324789
mayo
crunch
loaded
leaf
toasted

Add an egg and its transcendent

>>19324636
throw some turkey on that bitch
>shutup my toaster is broken

>>19324636
my stats teacher used to joke that CLT stood for cabbage lettuce tomato. vegans live a hard life

>>19324645
This. Everytime I have one, I just feel like I’m eating a water sandwich

>>19324636
Why do some many of you retards fail at making a basic ass sandwich or burger. Tomato always goea on the bottom.

>>19324636
I gotta tell you something man. I've just never really been into tomatoes. I don't know what it is. They're just a strange middle of the road food to me.

Like they're a fruit apparently but they aren't sweet? And there's tastier vegetables out there. I just don't see where tomato fits in really. It's an outcast IMO

I just realized I've never had a BLT. I hear about them all the time, they seem to be a staple, but I've never assembled/ordered one. Hmm

>>19324636
*BTFO's ur BLT*

>>19325585
I actually prefer Costco turkey bacon for BLTs. Much less greasy than real bacon and still has the proper smokey flavor.

>>19324671
Ewww what the fuck is wrong with that thing??

>>19324636
when i was little my parents drove us across country to visit relatives. I had blt's for every lunch and dinner for 2 weeks. I crave them. they are the perfect sandwich.

>>19326148
They're a bit out of proportion I think.

2x bacon* and reduce to just bottom bread slice, and add extra mayo. That's a winner for me

*because c'mon, everyone knows the bacon is the good shit in it.

>*because c'mon, everyone knows the bacon is the good shit in it.
Only if you're a sorry benighted soul that's never had anything but mass produced hydroponic """""tomato""""""

>>19326354
it has a watermark on it

>>19326578
I suppose I am to be truthful. but could I get the good ones at say a farmer's market or something?

>>19324797
I think toasted is debatable but I hard agree with everything else here there is no debate. But I counter a fresh warm sourdough loaf BLT

>>19324789
I like my bacon to be slightly crispy slightly chewy and the bread must be toasted with butter.

Two words. Starvation, typhus.

Not six million. Not cyanide gas.

>>19324789
I say skip the mayo and bacon and just call it "salad on bread"

>BLT
a.k.a. the "I want bacon but I have to put all this other shit around it so people don't think I'm just eating bacon."

2 slices white bread, mayo, black pepper
fuck your word count

>>19326631
yes, it’s a little early for most places though. tomatoes are more of a later summer thing. even in farmers markets you’ll often find shitty ones, good tomatoes are precious and rare, but really one of the tastiest fruits or whatever you classify it. you don’t even need bacon or lettuce if you have a good tomato, it’s just nicer with.

>>19324636
>tomato

Had to ruin it.

>>19325340
2 words: You are gay.

>>19326631
Only summer though, a good market gardener at the market should have good ones
Piss easy to grow really, I feel like they are one of the things necessary to grow yourself if you are at all able

>>19324747
Except sausage bacon and egg

>>19324636
tempeh sandwiches can often be better, not just because of the tempeh, but because they're often made by people who put much more care into the rest of the sandwich instead of thoughtlessly following conventions

tips

Bread. Lettuce. Meat. Cheese. Mayo. Ketchup.

I'm going to have leftover pizza for breakfast

God I love sandwiches

>>19324789
>mayo or dry?
I hate mayo, and a good tomato will completely render it unnecessary, but I find that a very thin application of creamy italian dressing can really bring the whole thing together as well.
