Bacon: The Cure

You know what is the perfect cure for the night before? I wouldn’t know. I never go out. BUT! What is the perfect cure for a night of watching Nurse Jackie and a morning of playing vintage Tomb Raider…is the bacon sandwich! [insert angelic harps and a choir of cherubs here]

The bacon sandwich, or ‘sarnie’ if you wish, is probably the greatest creation of modern Man. Thick salty rashes of bacon between soft white bread all oozing with melted butter and sauces.

 Note: I wanted a picture of a bacon sandwich here, but bacon just isn't photogenic. So here is a delightful cartoon instead. Enjoy.

There is no perfect recipe for the sandwich. It’s down to personal taste. Some like mustard; some like mayonnaise; some like brown sauce; others, red. Some people prefer there bacon on a baguette. There are even those strange people that will eat their bacon on brown bread. These people probably had traumatic childhoods and it would be advisable to leave them alone.

I am a simple man. 2 slices of white bread with butter, ketchup on one side and three slices of thick cut, smoked bacon. Slap it together, cut it in half. Done.

Honestly, I just don’t understand you vegetarians.
