What is BLT?

― Nowell, Sunday, 10 October 2004 04:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I think this is the first positive proof that Nowell is an adult taking the mickey!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 10 October 2004 04:22 (twenty-one years ago)

DAMMIT! I'm just a teenage girl.. Fuck it, believe whatever you want. But really, what is BLT? And what is "taking the mickey"?

― Nowell, Sunday, 10 October 2004 04:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha, either you're really annoyed right now or laughing your head off. OK, a BLT is a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich (I'm making one for my gf right now). Taking the mickey is taking the piss, having a lend, pulling someone's leg.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 10 October 2004 04:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I am not REALLY annoyed...just kinda.
But what you put "blart" and "clit" and "scrote" for? (I know what the last two are, I think).

― Nowell, Sunday, 10 October 2004 04:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, of course I do.

― Nowell, Sunday, 10 October 2004 04:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Borat: Bacon, onion, raddicio, avocado, tomato

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 10 October 2004 04:59 (twenty-one years ago)

FAGGOT: fennel, anise-seed, green-grass on toast
GAY-BASHER: Grapes, asparagus, yams, bacon & avocado salad-heap.

Well, excuse you.

Do not forget the short-lived McDLT. Was this not the sandwich of legend wherein the "hot stays hot and the cool stays cool?"

― Hurting (Hurting), Sunday, 10 October 2004 05:53 (twenty-one years ago)

omg, I had totally forgotten about that sandwich, with its modern miracle of packaging (read: compartmentalized styrofoam.) I never ate one though.

The BLT is a trusted, stalwart king in the vast land of sandwiches. I'm not so keen on variations if only b/c they're not BLTs but something else.

PLT -- Pastrami w/ Lettuce & Tomato on Rye. Presumably w/ mustard instead of mayo. The great food writer Jonathan Gold recently raved about a place in Brooklyn that makes these but I haven't tried one. Yet.

During my first year at university, my lunch most days was a BLT with added Thousand Island dressing, from a little sandwich shop called Olympic Sandwich.

― caitlin (caitlin), Sunday, 10 October 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

(x post)
He's just the best. Met him briefly ten years ago (very nice guy) and I had to turn down a lunch invite cause I was too busy at work. Been kicking myself ever since!
Thought he was a great music writer when he did that, too.

― lovebug starski (lovebug starski), Sunday, 10 October 2004 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Speaking of Jonathan Gold, I recalled an absolutely poetic description of a expense-account BLT he wrote in Gourmet a couple years ago. Think the restaurant was Lucques (sp?) in LA.

Something a bit fishy...

pastrami and lettuce just sounds WRONG.

― Germany's Fun-Loving Beer (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 10 October 2004 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Lettuce goes with everything.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 10 October 2004 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm a bit suspicious of lettuce, as it recently caused a salmonella outbreak at my local kebab shop. I had no idea you can catch salmonella from lettuce.

I have been eating a lot of BLTs lately because they are cheap and delicious and the dudes at the deli always hook it up with mad bacon.

― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 9 March 2009 15:04 (sixteen years ago)

― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 9 March 2009 15:04 (sixteen years ago)

soft chewy bacon is gross cuz you can taste all the little fat deposits and chew them and that is not good

― Surmounter, Monday, 9 March 2009 15:04 (sixteen years ago)

no mayo on my italians--also i like mine w/ cappicola instead of ham and w/ mortadella

― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 9 March 2009 16:11 (sixteen years ago)

the other god one was experienced in amsterdam and was called the loony bun - various german/italian salami-style meats, lettuce, butttloads of chopped up chilis. great!

― the next grozart, Monday, 9 March 2009 16:13 (sixteen years ago)

BLT + goat cheese = #1 BLT of all time (bacon on BLT must be crispy btw, and don't go and ruin it with sprouts)

― vergangenheitsbewaeltigung (later arpeggiator), Monday, 9 March 2009 16:55 (sixteen years ago)

now there's a fuckin idea -- u mean like instead of mayo, right?

― Surmounter, Monday, 9 March 2009 16:57 (sixteen years ago)

correct

really blowing my mind right now.

also BLT with bbq mayo

― s1ocki, Monday, 9 March 2009 17:01 (sixteen years ago)

I like a BLT with basil substituted for the lettuce (thus BBT) and garlic aioli instead of jarred mayo.

― quincie, Monday, 9 March 2009 17:40 (sixteen years ago)

blt w/ yoghurt instead of mayo is still the joy of my meat-eatin' days.

― c sharp major, Monday, 9 March 2009 17:45 (sixteen years ago)

I am down with sprouts on (some) sandwiches -- it's a nice way of getting yr whole cold/crisp/green/watery thing happening without having, say, a whole leaf of lettuce that's gonna start pulling out and destabilizing the sandwich midway through!

Apparently I like sandwiches that are existentially stuck between mostly being BLTs and mostly being something else, like the aforementioned grilled-cheeses and especially the, umm, BFELT (bacon, fried egg, lettuce, tomato) with plenty of Tobasco

― nabisco, Monday, 9 March 2009 17:46 (sixteen years ago)

Am big fan of grilled chz w/ bacon and apple slices and hummus spread over the top, but that's not rly a BLT at all.

Re BLTs, you guys made me have the salad approximation for lunch right now. Note: Must incl avocado.

Sharp, sharp cheddar. Sliced apple, bacon, under the broiler. Remove, and spread w hummus.

― s1ocki, Monday, 9 March 2009 18:11 (sixteen years ago)

sprouts are great but the proper way to eat them is in a field, without using your hands.

If you replace the lettuce with spinach and add a fried egg you get the BEST sandwich harhar! It is a very good sandwich though.

― GLEEPGLOP BLOOPBLORP (nickalicious), Tuesday, 10 March 2009 06:54 (sixteen years ago)

This one place here has a BLT that is actually a BLTLT with like six pieces of bacon. It looks like a Scooby doo sandwich.
