You almost want to give it a sympathetic hug. Two anaemic slices of stale bread and two rectangular rashers of cold bacon. It cost £2.50 ($3.29) in the café department of a well-known UK supermarket chain. I've never seen such a much-loved snack treated with such contempt. Where's even the butter, you ask? To "keep costs down", there is none. If I had been served this I'd have had a notion to do more than just take a photo of it, like, uh, find the store manager and shoved the whole thing down their throat for nothing. Then demand my money back. 'That’s one sad sandwich. Does it come with an antidepressant?' |

Can't believe what I saw in the pic. And I thought I make the most simple sandwiches! Mine are simple but not horrible.

Just think: with a little lettuce, tomato, mayo, and toast, and you'd have a BLT.

There is nothing worse than rubbery uncooked bacon on any kind of dish or sandwich...!!!

I am happy to say that we have nothing so sad in America. We have the BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) and that is one happy sandwich. |

We have the BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) and that is one happy sandwich. I'm very glad to hear that! I've had some very good sandwiches in the US, I think my favourite was a 'Po Boy' from a place in the French Quarter district of New Orleans. Delicious. Butty is really a Northern English term for sandwich, pronounced "botty" in their accents. Fortunately that sad specimen in the OP is not representative of sandwiches here - after all, it is said to have been invented in England, first served up in 1762 to John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. During a marathon gambling session he was reluctant to leave the gaming table to eat and so a servant brought his food to the table, salt beef between two slices of toast and the Earl was happy. No cutlery, no fuss and leaving one hand free to carry on playing. 100% true? Haha, I don't know but it's an interesting story. |

The saddest bacon sandwich was when Kevin's girlfriend talked him into a 3-way with his mom.  |
