Vote now for the ULTIMATE BACON SARNIE
Right, you lovely people, the moment has arrived to settle once and for all that matter of most monumentous moment: just what constitutes the ultimate bacon sarnie. As you'll recall, the porcine polemic kicked off when we pitched German delicacy Bauernfrühstück against the sacred pork-based assemblage in one of our post-pub nosh …

I think a NSFW sign is needed for these pages of porcine pornography.
Where's the picture of the Vertical one?
C'mon, let's see some awesome NSFW vertical bacon sandwiches!

The Guacamole Goulash
At first it looks like a disgusting pile of squid/mucus. But once you make out the bacon in there, it looks so tasty.
Re: The Guacamole Goulash
But green stuff...?
Oh, and my Hungarian friends (of which I have several) are screaming "Goulash is a soup!".
They scream that a lot over here in Blighty.
Re: The Guacamole Goulash
have they been picked up by the cops yet?
Re: The Guacamole Goulash
The addition of guacamole is an intriguing addition, however I would like to point out that whatever that green smear was...IT WAS NOT GUACAMOLE!! I mean really, was there even any avocado in that or was it just sour cream with some green food coloring in it?
Re: The Guacamole Goulash
Ah, Grasshopper. You must understand that there are many faces to guacamole. They range from compositions that look as if an avocado had been in a car wreck and taste only faintly of anything other than avocado, to pale, lime-green concoctions with the consistency of thick soup, with delicate hints of lime and cilantro and a pepper bite that will take off the top of your head.
Mmm, bacon in an English Muffin (awaits pedantic retort) is very classy.
Sandwiches with a massive amount of bacon put me right off. The bread/bacon balance is important, the bread is there to complement the bacon not merely package it.
You're clearly a tasteless trucker who just wants as much meat for his £2 as possible.
At first I thought they were using a stottie, the only true bread for a bacon sarnie. When I realised it was a muffin it became clear they were failing as hard as everyone else on this list.
None of the above
Is my vote, though the wife likes the sunday special.
Re: None of the above
Same here.
HP source - Ugh
Avian embyro - Euw
Green stuff - {shudder}
Re: None of the above
Bacon sandwiches are an art unto themselves. Any alleged winner will be based purely on chance because, like any other art form, perfection is in the eye of the beholder and therefore totally subjective.
It's all about "The Unholy Wholemeal Bap". All the others employ egg of some kind of sauce. Not for me thanks. I like to actually taste my bacon
Mine's the one without ketchup or brown sauce in it
If you can't taste the bacon as well as the HP then you haven't got the Maillard reaction going properly.
precison engineer
for me.
The morning eggstasy is a recipe for disaster.......lost count of the amount of times i've had egg yolk down the trousers half an hour before a meeting :>)
Re: precison engineer
You need to pop the yolk before eating the thing!
Re: precison engineer
If you don't end up with a bad case of fried egg bukkake the egg is over cooked :p
Re: precison engineer
Yeh , i know but how often do you check that its been popped before taking that first ravenous bite out of one?
Re: precison engineer
Maybe... Then again, given that we're talking Hangover Control, I feel that the precision engineer is a wee bit too complicated and precise to perform under the circumstances encountered.
Whereas the Morning Eggstacy has ample track record of construction feasibility on an international level, under even more stringent conitions than the usual level of hangover.
The egg yolk hazard is a built-in warning feature that is a good indicator of ready-for-world+dog-ness, making it not only delightfully delicious, but also quite useful.
Re: precison engineer
"lost count of the amount of times i've had egg yolk down the trousers half an hour before a meeting :>)"
How very dare you vote for the precision engineer when you can't even eat an egg/bacon buttie without spillage! How precise is that?
Re: precison engineer
That, sir, is known in the trade as a Banjo Sandwich.
Left hand holds comestible away from body whilst right hand flaps away the drippage.

How to improve a song:
Hello Bacon, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again..
and
Mammah,
Just killed a man,
put my bacon 'gainst his head,
pulled the trigger,
now he's dead.
Your turn. Insert Bacon to improve. Go.

Justin Bieber — bacon lyrics
You know you love me
I know you care
Just shout whenever,
And I'll be there
You want my love
You want my heart
And we would never, ever, ever be apart
Are we an item?
Girl quit playin'
We're just friends,
What are you sayin'?
Said there's another as you look right in my eyes
My first love, broke my heart for the first time
And I was like
bacon, bacon, bacon ooh
Like
bacon, bacon, bacon noo
Like
bacon, bacon, bacon ohh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)
bacon, bacon, bacon ohh
Like
bacon, bacon, bacon noo
Like
bacon, bacon, bacon ohh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Blast. All that typing about egg rolls down there --v and I forgot the song.

Or perhaps Dusty Springfield says it better:
I'm gonna show you baby
Cholesterol can be tough.
So come on, come on, come on, come on -

Clog another little piece of my heart, now baby...
Re: tangentially
Justin Bieber ? Who?
I think you've accidentally stumbled onto the wrong website my friend.
Re: tangentially
Dear me no, our Dusty was a fine singer, but for that tune its got to be Janis Joplin - and there was a woman who knew a lot about post-pub
Re: tangentially
Down voted for binging this august site into disrepute by uttering the words Ju**** Bie**. Go and hang your head in shame!
The Horn!
If none of you sotherners have ever made the trip to Scotland then the Horn is the perfect reason to!
A monster of a bacon roll and it tastes lovely!
Re: The Horn!
Upvote if only for upping East Scotland Tourism. Other Bacon Buttie outlets are available in Perth & Kinross, Angus & Fife. It's all good.
Re: The Horn!
The Horn was one of the reasons I was more than happy to make the trek up the A90 from Edinburgh to Dundee to see customers. I always allowed an extra hour or so for the trip, just to be safe. I do remember thinking the sign used to look more like a leg of ham than a horn though, but that's perfect for this article. Not been there for over a decade though.
It's the baguette for me...
1. Crispy fresh white baguette cut to preferred length (actual length irrelevant to overall enjoyment).
2. Plenty of butter.
3. Bacon - Lots of, preferably non-supermarket. I prefer unsmoked, with a decent amount of semi-crisped rind.
4. Fried egg - optional (actually dependent on strength of hangover).
5. Brown sauce.
:-)
also, but not only
the wholemeal barm with the side of caffieney goodness, modded with +1 tomato sauce.
Speaking as a vegetarian
I'm actually quite hungry now, not hungry enough to cross to the dark side.
But bloody hell they all looked good. Such a shame that pretend vege-bacon is as appertising as cardboard
Re: Speaking as a vegetarian
"I'm actually quite hungry now, not hungry enough to cross to the dark side."
God made pigs from Pork! He made cows out of beef!
That is their intended purpose. You god defyererererrr!
Re: Speaking as a vegetarian
I can never work out why veggies feel the need to eat pretend meat. If you don't want meat why have stuff that looks like meat...?
Re: Speaking as a vegetarian
I should think that is obvious - they do like meat, but they don't think that all the killing that goes with it, I would imagine.
Re: Speaking as a vegetarian
I apologise here for making such a terrible sentence. You got the gist of it. Monday morning, not the best time for coherency.
Re: Speaking as a vegetarian
I can't speak for them all, but it has nothing to do will the slaughter of animals for me. It's the texture and the taste. Both are something that the fake meats haven't mastered.
If it wasn't for meat eaters a lot of breeds wouldn't exist and a lot more hedgerows would be gone which in turn threatens a lot of other species - birds and insects. Eating meat is actually better for the environment than not eating meat. Just a shame I don't like it.
Get a grip
would you lot Foxtrot Oscar with your sauces, Brown or Red, all you need is Butter dagnabit
Re: Get a grip
Don't even need butter. However I think it is clear that in any eating situation condiments of all varieties are a matter for a man's personal conscience - the fundamentals of the thing are not affected by them so I'm voting on that basis.
Eggs, cheese and other nonsense is displaying gross disrespect for the fundamentals of this challenge.
Re: Get a grip
"Eggs, cheese and other nonsense is displaying gross disrespect for the fundamentals of this challenge."
Don't be stupid man! Why do you think the great british breakfast is called teh great british breakfast?
EGGS/BACON/SAUSAGE.
You Heathen.
the best way
get a few packs of bacon and various rolls sauces. No need to leave the kitchen or sit down, just fry it up and eat it straight there. if you do it in a chain fashion you can alternate plain, red sauce, brown sauce etc.
Re: Get a grip
Nobody asked about a 'Great British Breakfast'. This is all about the Bacon Sarnie - a culinary icon that stands apart from lowlier comestibles. Keep all your frippery. I want just bacon and bread. Nothing more, nothing less.
