And the bacon fat should be poured over the bacon and bread (who needs butter?) or even better fry the bread in it

Is the bacon sandwich comfort food in Britain? Around here you always make a "posh" sandwich with it: smoked bacon, tomatoes, arugula, balsamic vinegar, etc

[@jek__]

In the US we put mayo on our bacon sandwiches and we call them BLTs, for bacon lettuce tomato, and they're served on mildly toasted bread. The mayo, bacon, and tomato combine to form a very nice flavor. Butter would seem a bit lacking in flavor from that perspective I think

[@joshbolton2711]

James made a Bacon Sandwich. The Bacon is CLEARLY the star. Lucy made a BLT where the Bacon is overshadowed by the combined ingredients. Both looked great and in truth were probably equally delicious but when you want a bacon sandwich, the James May method is clearly the way to go. Now I'm hungry.

@@FALslayer you mean 'raw' bacon as our uneducated cousins call it. Not sure why bacon has to be so hard you smack in on a countertop and it shatters into a million pieces.

even though she used a bread maker i really proud that lucy baked her own bread. The first foodtribe video i saw with her was the egg sandwich and ever since then i convinced myself she knew nothing about food but she really has come a very long way in a very short amount of time

James May's insults are a confluence of innocuous words, when delivered, transform into a circular saw of razor blades.

You can make the hard butter softer by mushing it before you try to spread it.

Lucy, great job on your first 'official' role as presenter on Foodtribe, you did a fantastic job.

Lucy liked something James cooked?! And there was me thinking the world couldn't get any weirder...

My thoughts exactly! I was shocked and pleasantly surprised by the outcome as well :)

Lettuce on a bacon sarnie is unheard of in the West Midlands. We garnish with pan grease 😂

I converted to cooking Bacon in the oven, and have never looked back. Also...the fact that neither sandwich has HP sauce is disturbingly un-British.

[@jake3736]

Yeah bacon in the pan gets burnt in all the wrong places. Oven does it best a cooks the fat right

What is HP sauce? I'm American

[@SoulReaperIsHere]

@@drivewaystar6485 Ted means brown sauce, which is also tangy like ketchup but with a far less intense tomato flavour and I think it is also a bit less sweet but I haven't eaten it in a while so I'm unsure on that. HP is one of the, if not the, biggest brands around in the UK today that sells the stuff.

[@mkoldewijn]

Lucy's reaction is so genuine when she bites into James's sandwich. Pure gold, these videos

A bacon sarnie and a BLT are 2 separate things. May wins by default

[@simonmorris4226]

And it needs to be BACON, lettuce and tomato, not bacon ,LETTUCE AND TOMATO!🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥬🍅

[@linuxpothead24]

Exactly what I came here to say, additionally a BLT needs lettuce not rocket and grilled bacon is superior to fried bacon.

[@m.w.5536]

A BLT means summer with a fresh garden tomato with lots of bacon on toasted bread. I’m so looking forward to that. But a bacon sandwich is excellent any time of year. James is correct on this one.

[@sydneyda]

Exactly.

[@snoopzakadave]

One of the key ingredients of BLT is lettuce funnily enough... something of which isn't even an ingredient here
