BLT's, what makes them the best?

[drobertson]

I got a little board today, and love BLT's, just wondering how you folks like'em,  for us, half crunchy bacon, half chewy, toast and the fixin's

  

  

 

[thecfarm]

I like to use thick bread, not toasted,thick bacon,slab.I break-cut it up in small pieces too.I like to cook the bacon on a cookie sheet in the oven,450° kinda about 20 minutes. No need to turn it. put it in and forget for 20 minutes. I just had one the other day.

[Corley5]

Not too crispy, not too chewy, hold the lettuce, soft whole wheat bread, American cheese and Hellman's Mayo.

[Yoopersaw]

Home made whole wheat bread from wheat that I ground toasted to perfection loaded with crisp bacon topped with home grown Beefsteak tomatoes and lettuce from the garden.  A little Mayo is acceptable.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

If it don't have DUKE'S MAYO on it......it ain't a Southern Thang. 

[thecfarm]

Dukes what? That must be something like grits? Don't come this far North.  :D

[Magicman]

If it ain't Blue Plate it ain't mayo and it ain't a sammich.   ;D

[sprucebunny]

Helleman's, please. And make it a BLOT or a BLAT  ;D

Onion or avocado.

[WH_Conley]

As long as it has a good ripe home grown Tomato, everything else is incidental.

[WDH]

I agree with the BLOT!  Especially with sweet vidalia onions. 

[thecfarm]

Blueplate?? I thought that was a special?

[Jasperfield]

Lightly toasted wheat loaf bread, juicy-ripe Striped German tomato, fried streaked meat, and about a half cup of JFG mayonnaise.

BOLT
Bacon, onion, lettuce, tomato

Good combo.

[Weekend_Sawyer]

Miracle whip, thank you. And lots of BACON!!

[Wick]

Poston you beat me to the Dukes Mayonaise. :D

[thecfarm]

I just saw on the news a record breaking BLT,something like 300 feet long from IN,I think it was. I did not catch what type of mayo was used.  :D

[thurlow]

I think there's a whole reality show on Natgeo, tlc, history channel or some such about bacon;  since I tend not to watch "reality shows", I'll probably never see it.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Poston you beat me to the Dukes Mayonaise. :D

Some of these peoples just don't know what's good. 

[WDH]

And to think, some people don't even like grits  .

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

.....thank you for Jake and look after the people who don't like GRITS. Amen   

[thecfarm]

The grits that WDH mentioned I don't like,  but the GRITS that Poston mentioned I like.

[sumday]

Amen. Dukes and grits ( although usually not together )

[DanG]

I like my bacon thin and crispy.  The cheapest one in the store is usually best.  Thick white bread like Texas Toast, lightly toasted.  Big thick slice of homegrown tomato with a layer of bacon on each side with plenty of Mayo.  I can take the lettuce or leave it off, and mayo brand don't matter.  Third layer of bacon is allowable. ;D

Yes Sir...and that's the way DanG likes it. 

All that extra bacon does sound good!

[Raider Bill]

I think I'm going to have one today!  Bacon thick and a bit limp, white bread, mayo or miracle whip, tomato and like Dang, I can take or leave lettuce.
