Rules for bacon:

1. Wholemeal bread is best but should be left in the bread bin when it comes to bacon. White only.
2. We all love a thick "doorstop" sandwich but bread which is too thick kills a bacon sandwich.
3. Red or brown sauce go on sausages, not bacon.
4. A fried egg and bacon were meant to be together.
5. A yolk which does not instantly explode on first bite is very overcooked.
6. A bacon or bacon & egg sandwich should be washed down with a cold glass of milk.
7. Streaky bacon belongs on turkeys, not sandwiches.
8. Toast belongs under beans. It should not come anywhere near bacon.

Gold star, 8/8

With a rusk on the side?

Steaming hot mug of tea is the manly choice.

Have any of the dedicated bacon sandwich researchers who've contributed to this thread so far ever tried making a gammon steak sandwich? With a couple of eggs? There's a sandwich for people who say they're going to have a sandwich and really mean it.

I've done that plenty of times. I pretty much always put too much stuff in and can't fit it in my mouth. My favourite these days is nice thick slab of some off the bone ham, a few slices of pastrami, some bacon, lots of cheese with some herbs sprinkled in and then oven baked for 5 minutes until the bread is crispy and brown. This must be done with very thickly sliced white bread that is homemade.

Next time I make it i'll snap a picture and upload it.
