well i can assure you english expats do, but unlike here they have to put up with sugar cake bread (bread made with sugar is so sad) and white unspreadable butter because American cows don't feed on grass they get dry feed
Same! I'm genuinely shocked! The only time I haven't had butter or a buttery spread on a sandwich is when I've run out & then I substitute it with a thin layer of mayo or something.
We butter our bread for everything. Hot chips straight out of the deep fat fryer on a heavily buttered slice of bread is amazing! The butter melts onto the chips. It's a treat I have whilst cooking!
@malcolmrowe9003 Depending on your tolerance for spicy food..... - chop a chilli pepper and place on the egg as you're frying the egg. Its my go-to beer munchies food lol
Now, do an egg and bacon sandwich with hp brown sauce. Trust me, it's the best, and other american yourtubers have tried it, and they said its the best sandwich they have ever had....
Egg yolk not set, so it floops all over the sandwich and adds texture. I love to fry the egg in the same pan afterwards so it can pick up all the sticky bacon caramelisation.
*fried egg with a runny yolk, but also works with a 'pancake' egg (omelette) for manageability. Best of all is sausage, egg 'n bacon (easier to handle on a roll). All with HP or tomato ketchup, whichever is your preference. Add anything you like to a bacon butty as a base, sliced gherkins, iceberg lettuce, sliced red bell peppers, etc. Save the cheese (proper cheese that is) for a sarnie with Branston pickle or a Ploughman's Lunch.
@Bakers_Doesnt nah...what's with gherkins and that rabbit crap... egg, bacon, and sausage if you want, but you can't beat egg and bacon with brown sauce...
@Bakers_Doesnt that's not traditional sandwich with that rubbish in it...if you went in a motorway cafe and asked for that, they would laugh at you and then kick you out, lol
My Grandma used to make 2 bacon butties wrapped greaseproof paper for Grandpa every morning to go to work. As he built his engineering works into a great success, she still sent him off with them. The bacon smell inside his Mercedes V12 was hidden by the cigar smoke.😂
Agreed. The bacon colour was just how I'd do it, although I have a friend who likes it very undercooked, and I once saw a couple of Dutch guys buy a packet of bacon from a British supermarket and eat it raw in the park opposite.
HP was named after London's Houses of Parliament. After making its first appearance on British dinner tables in 1895. HP Sauce went on to become an icon of British culture The picture on the front of the bottle is a selection of London landmarks including Elizabeth Tower, the Palace of Westminster, and Westminster Bridge.
Very weird but I think it's because they use mayonnaise instead most if not all of the time. It doesn't help that their bread contains a lot of sugar too.
We have thicker cut bacon and bacon has got thinner over the years. Thick bacon does go crispy. It’s how it’s cured and a lot of cheap supermarket bacon has added water.
Most supermarkets have various styles of bacon: back and streaky (obvs), smoked or unsmoked, different cure types (e.g. Wiltshire, drycure, etc.), and thick or regular. When I was a kid my mother bought the bacon from the general store where my uncle worked, and the bacon was sliced to order off a big joint. She always asked for the thickest setting.
Bacon and egg butty with hp brown sauce, chip butty with hp brown sauce, cooked breakfast which includes, baked beans, mushrooms, fried egg, black pudding, sausage, hash browns, fried tomato, bacon and plenty of hp brown sauce with a nice cup of tea or coffee to go with it. 😋 😋 😋
Pro tip; After you butter the bread, you spread the HP sauce on the bread itself instead of drizzling on the bacon. That way you get an even distribution without having to,use so much of it… Also, I often shove bacon on a flat sheet lined with foil straight in the oven. Frees up the job for cooking the beans and eggs etc.
@@kevoss74 I always grilled bacon until I had to use the oven when the grill fell off my stove. I didn't want to pan fry it for health reasons. Even soaking it in the exuded fat and blasting it with a hot air paint stripper couldn't restore the proper flavour. So I rediscovered pan frying and bought wider trousers.
Remember that most of their bacon is like extra thin, water injected streaky, their sliced bread is mostl sweet, more like cake and many don't use butter on bread because of this?
You need a pick-me-up - Bacon Butty to the rescue. You got drunk, wake up in the morning with a hang over - Bacon Butty to the rescue. Feeling peckish in the middle of the night - Bacon Butty to the rescue. You got dehydrated - Bacon Butty to the rescue. Trapped in a relationship you hate - Bacon Butty 😄

There’s a French chef based in London who rejected the idea of brown sauce for years, then had it for the first time in a bacon sarny (another word for a butty), and he wasn’t just sold on the idea of it, he started to use it in his recipes
If you want to make a really good but quick Welsh Rarebit, a friend of mine told me this recipe: Grate some cheddar into a bowl, add a good dollop of mayonnaise, and a splash of HP. Mix it all together, spread it on the toast, and grill. It's delicious!
Apart from english breakfast theres also 2 snacks we eat. 1.Cheese on toast with Worcestershire sauce sprinkled on mid melt. 2. Beans on toast, sprinkle of cheese & place a fried egg on top.
Branston for me, their baked beans have a thicker sauce and tastes far better. The Rich&Fruity brown sauce they do in a glass bottle is the best brown sauce too.
HP goes really well on a sausage sandwich too. Or bacon AND sausage! Many people (me included) love it on beans on toast, as well. Basically HP sauce with meaty breakfast stuffs is usually a win.
Useful tip for any expat Brits struggling to find brown sauce in their corner of Johnny Foreigner land - you can make a passable substitute with 3-parts ketchup to 1-part Worcestershire Sauce.
Now you,ve got the idea!! You can have it any way you prefer with any sauce you like,if you want cheese,any cheese you want,any bread you like,and any bacon you like,etc
Bread (not the sweetened US kind), butter, salted back bacon, a sunny-side-up fried egg (with a runny yolk) and HP Fruity sauce is a taste sensation you should give a go.
I think Steve’s reaction to the butty with HP sauce was the most enthusiastic I’ve seen one channel! I totally get Lindsay’s feelings on HP, I reckon HP Fruity is the one for her .
A1 sauce was created in the UK in 1831 for fine dining at the Kings table, it went over to the US and gained popularity over there, however in the UK, HP sauce gained popularity over A1 sauce and now A1 sauce does not really exist in the UK. Now someone needs to send you guys a bottle of HP Fruity sauce so you can experience the creme de la creme of Bacon Butty sauces.
Bacon butty is Butter, bacon, Brown sauce (or red if your weird) only. If you want british bacon just have half canadian and half streaky. We use regular white bread usually, sliced, bap etc. If i remember corectly HP means houses of parliment. It does have the royal seal which means its endorsed by a member of the royal familky
Gotta remember with bacon sandwiches they are easy to customise! Add in a fried egg, black pudding, extra sausage, onion rings, cheese, grilled tomato, any or all of these are valid choices, load capacity of the bread is often the limiting factor! Also factor in time and location is a thing, cooking a good bacon sandwich over an open fire for breakfast on a camping or hiking trip in the wilds just takes them to another level.
I don't bother with bacon unless its smoked. That is near on what we would call gammon, it's that thick. You can get thick cut bacon though. But as standard its thinner than that
We use either back and streaky bacon, whichever we have in the fridge. We generally have ketchup in a bacon sandwich and HP in a sausage sandwich, it goes great with sausages. I’ve never tried cheese on a bacon butty but, I want to now 😋
Stfu with the "we" business. You don't know what fry up or roast I like . Stop yapping like you are the voice of the UK. So sick of people claiming to speak for the UK on food videos.
Sourdough or thick slice of Wholemeal with crispy back-bacon straight from the butchers (no preservatives or water) and a mug of strong tea, can't beat it.
@@vladd6787 It use to be quite popular but I haven't seen that since I had a Saturday job in a butchers in the seventies. Probably I just haven't looked properly?
I used to love cheese toasties and just assumed that what you guys call a grilled cheese sandwich was the same thing. My girlfriend who is from Savannah made me a grilled cheese sandwich and it was awesome. We’ve both discovered new dishes and cooking styles that we enjoy now, that would have previously been unknown to us. There’s something strangely satisfying about watching people trying things you grew up with for the first time and hearing their reactions.
Yes Lindsay loves grilled cheese sandwiches! I agree, it's pretty cool seeing reactions to something for the first time that we personally have loved and known our whole lives. Appreciate you watching :)
Fun fact. The butter goes on the sandwich to stop the wet ingredients inside the sandwich from soaking into the bread too much. Almost essential if you are going to be adding tomato or anything like that.
How many people put butter in a sandwich to try and taste the butter? The whole point of butter in a sandwich is to stop the bread tasting dry. If the bread isn't that dry then you don't really need butter.
@@mattf9406 The butter creates a waterproof layer that stops any moist foodstuffs inside from leaking through the bread. I can't see how butter would make the bread taste less dry. If it's dry/stale bread it still will be, no matter what you put in or on it.
Looks yummy. In the UK the bacon cut you used would be called ‘bacon medallions’. Medallions are the leanest cut of bacon. Next would be the cut known as ‘back bacon’. Back bacon is the medallion part with the part of the streaky cut still attached. The fattiest cut is the streaky part on its own.
A1 sauce was a popular British table sauce (invented for George IV in 1824 ) HP sauce took over in popularity in 1884 and was served in the Houses of Parliament (hence HP) , they have very similar ingredients /flavour profiles.
Right!!! Bacon, sausage, fried egg and a squished fried tomato in a big buttered bread roll, sauce of choice and a mug of tea. No ifs no buts, it is the way.....
You can put HP sauce on chips (in a sandwich or as a side sauce), with sausages, with steak, on fried eggs, just about anything meaty really. Im not a fan of it but hubby puts it on most things. Sausage and HP sauce butty
At a rural breakfast for July 4th, I was dished up an enormous breakfast. Being a rural area and not a tourist spot, I was a ‘celebrity’ and people wanted to know why I wanted to visit their area. What shocked me was their surprise when I refused to soak my plate with maple syrup!
Sports Direct used to be very crafty with those cups they used to just throw them in your basket and charge you £1 for them. That’s probably why everyone has one.
Sour dough is awesome, I remove the fat from my bacon and prefer smoked than unsmoked bacon. I can eat it slightly cooked up to just before it goes too crispy. I never put sauce on it as I feel it detracts from the actual flavour of the bacon. I'll also do it on toast as well or some soft rolls (Baps) etc.
For me the question of whether to remove the fat depends on the cut. Belly fat tastes like old fish to me and I hate it, but back bacon cooked slowly in its own fat so that it renders a bit is gorgeous IMO.
Of course then you get more contenders - (a small amount of) English Mustard or HP Fruity Sauce. They're all good 🥰 Definitely one of the treats I miss (a little) as a vegan - spicy veggie burgers with lashings of HP sauce are nice but ... then there's the real McCoy.
No cheese and generally we don't overcook the bacon, only until the fat crisps. HP sauce can go with anything, just put a dollop on the side of your plate an dip.
Did you know...HP stands for Houses of Parliament sauce. It explains the picture on the bottle too. The sauce was invented to show off all the spices from around the Empire. Not many Brits know that
My grandmother used to ask me that when she’d make sausages and fried potatoes. I always wanted both, but she was health conscious, so we always had to pick just one. 😂
The bread used makes a difference too. US bread tends to be sweet as it contains a lot of sugar, whereas UK bread does not contain sugar. The butter also should be lightly salted.
@@kevpage Correct... apart from Warburtons No Added Sugar Wholemeal. I've just double checked the ingredients list on the loaf I have in the freezer to make sure I'm not talking nonsense. 😆
A Brit here. As a side note, the all American A1 sauce did in fact, originate in the UK and made by Brand, know in the UK as Brands A1 sauce. And the A1 name came from King George IV who loved the sauce and declared it A1! ** also very nice in a bacon butty..
A lot of brits don’t know this but hp stands for Houses of Parliament which is why their is a picture of it on the bottle I’ll change my statement to some brits don’t know😂😂😂most people I’ve asked didn’t have a clue
You better write the recipe down, So many ingredients…butter, bacon, bread…..you guys are geniuses….and HP sauce….living on the edge…. Next week check out scrambled eggs….it will blow your mind…
I use bacon medallions, theres no fat just the meat, i do like cheese and ketchup, and ofcourse the fried egg and bacon sandiwch yummm Oh and we put everything between bread and butter lol
At times, my brain has smellivision. If I see the bacon cooking I smell it, even though it's not cooking in my house. It happens the most when I see someone on TV light a cigarette. As an ex smoker (15yrs now), I get a second of smellivision and it's lovely.
Brit here! Back in the poorer days, we'd have a 'bacon press' butty. basically, the bacon would be sandwiched between two buttered slices, then the bacon was removed and given to dad for his butty. You were left with two buttered slices of bread with a taste of bacon. now, in more prosperous times, we'd add a fried egg and sausage too (a BSE butty). We'll typically use just a splash of HP sauce. The general rule of thumb is, HP for bacon, Heinz tomato sauce for a sausage butty. If it's a BSE, anything goes. 👍
@@IAMNationX I'm fairly convinced I was talking about myself. I'm merely pointing out that I'm British, because that's part of the OP's subject matter.
I either use the airfryer or grill to cook the bacon as it makes it a little healthier and as originally mentioned if you are going to use sauce spread it on the bread and butter to give an even spread

Butter is a must. More the merrier
I never use butter in a sandwich. You get enough moisture from all the other stuff. To me you guys are wierd.
I never put butter on toast if I'm having bacon, and I like my bacon either in the Air fryer or grilled, its got to be crispy.
Same! I'm genuinely shocked! The only time I haven't had butter or a buttery spread on a sandwich is when I've run out & then I substitute it with a thin layer of mayo or something.
Did you forget to boil the kettle. Where's the big mug of tea. 😀😃😄
Big mug of strong Tea or Coffee needed with Bacon sandwich.
Sports direct mug required
A mug of Tea is an absolute must with a Bacon Butty 👍👍
I think its illegal to eat a bacon butty without one
A nice cuppa is standard , especially if the contents are a bit salty .

Never heard of HP fruity! We're going to have to look that up.
A1 sauce was created in the UK in 1831 for fine dining at the Kings table, it went over to the US and gained popularity over there, however in the UK, HP sauce gained popularity over A1 sauce and now A1 sauce does not really exist in the UK.
Now someone needs to send you guys a bottle of HP Fruity sauce so you can experience the creme de la creme of Bacon Butty sauces.
HP Fruity is definitely my choice.
I'm British and you did a bloody cracking job on making this 👍
Right! Also amazing with a fried egg.
I sure as hell wouldn't say 'no' to one of these Sarnies!!!!! Cannot beat it!:-) ENJOY! ❤️
In the uk your either a red or a brown sauce person usually
@@johnwilliams1997 yeah but not always, some people love mustard or neither.
@jessieb7290 ok yeah everyone loves mustard on a bacon butty!!! do a survey i know im pretty sure the majority of the uk would say red or brown 😂
Bacon butty is Butter, bacon, Brown sauce (or red if your weird) only. If you want british bacon just have half canadian and half streaky. We use regular white bread usually, sliced, bap etc. If i remember corectly HP means houses of parliment. It does have the royal seal which means its endorsed by a member of the royal familky
Gotta remember with bacon sandwiches they are easy to customise! Add in a fried egg, black pudding, extra sausage, onion rings, cheese, grilled tomato, any or all of these are valid choices, load capacity of the bread is often the limiting factor!
Also factor in time and location is a thing, cooking a good bacon sandwich over an open fire for breakfast on a camping or hiking trip in the wilds just takes them to another level.
I don't bother with bacon unless its smoked. That is near on what we would call gammon, it's that thick. You can get thick cut bacon though. But as standard its thinner than that
We use either back and streaky bacon, whichever we have in the fridge. We generally have ketchup in a bacon sandwich and HP in a sausage sandwich, it goes great with sausages. I’ve never tried cheese on a bacon butty but, I want to now 😋
ohhh brown sauce in a sausage sandwich with friend onions, definitely yes, now i know what i'm havin' for my lunch tomorrow
Stfu with the "we" business. You don't know what fry up or roast I like . Stop yapping like you are the voice of the UK. So sick of people claiming to speak for the UK on food videos.
Honestly a bacon roll is absolutely the best thing you can have especially with HP sauce.
bacon, fried egg with a runny yolk, chesnut mushrooms pan fried in butter, buttered soft white bap/roll with daddies brown, pure bliss

Go Lindsay...that is one mother of a bacon sandwich... #respect
haha I'll pass the word along! Thanks for watching :)
Enough Bacon on there to make 3 sandwiches .
You can also have a bacon lettuce and tomato butty
With mayo not hp
@@Tinar55 Then that's a BLT, not a butty.
@@zoeadams2635 if it's between bread it's a butty
Sourdough or thick slice of Wholemeal with crispy back-bacon straight from the butchers (no preservatives or water) and a mug of strong tea, can't beat it.
I mostly eat wholemeal bread, but for a bacon butty I prefer a crusty white tin, or better still, a baguette.
I use dry cured bacon ,mainly back ,so you get proper dip and not water injected white gunk.
I only buy dry cure tastes like bacon used to all taste before they started injecting it with the brine
Try middle if you can get it it is like back and streaky bacon combined.
@@vladd6787 It use to be quite popular but I haven't seen that since I had a Saturday job in a butchers in the seventies. Probably I just haven't looked properly?
@@johnp8131 I used to get it in Tesco, haven't seen it in months though.
Britain would collapse without Bacon and HP Sauce.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
@@davidbradley3254 some parts of the UK would, personally I treat it like marmite. Never been a fan
@@chelliebellie4443marmite is rough.. bovril is where it's at. 😂
I don't know a fried egg sandwich with ketchup on it in an emergency.
I used to love cheese toasties and just assumed that what you guys call a grilled cheese sandwich was the same thing. My girlfriend who is from Savannah made me a grilled cheese sandwich and it was awesome. We’ve both discovered new dishes and cooking styles that we enjoy now, that would have previously been unknown to us. There’s something strangely satisfying about watching people trying things you grew up with for the first time and hearing their reactions.
Yes Lindsay loves grilled cheese sandwiches! I agree, it's pretty cool seeing reactions to something for the first time that we personally have loved and known our whole lives. Appreciate you watching :)
I love cheese toasted! How does a grilled cheese sandwich differ?
HP sauce is a Company name, so anything resembling HP sauce gets called "brown Sauce". But yes, I do add HP to chip butties.
Go for the full combo! Bacon, sausage and fried egg butty! 😋
Fun fact. The butter goes on the sandwich to stop the wet ingredients inside the sandwich from soaking into the bread too much. Almost essential if you are going to be adding tomato or anything like that.
Many prefer the "original HP", but for those who don't care for it's "strength", they go either Quality Ketchup, or "HP Fruity".
Chips or fries in USA with melting cedar cheese and hp sauce sandwich yum , sausage bacon and black pudding and hp sauce sandwich always buttered yum
Cheddar cheese toasties - and it's the best cheese in the world !!
Looks good! And no butter on a sandwich!? What’s the point in the sandwich then 😂😂
How many people put butter in a sandwich to try and taste the butter? The whole point of butter in a sandwich is to stop the bread tasting dry. If the bread isn't that dry then you don't really need butter.
@@mattf9406 what can I say, I like the butter
@@mattf9406 The butter creates a waterproof layer that stops any moist foodstuffs inside from leaking through the bread. I can't see how butter would make the bread taste less dry. If it's dry/stale bread it still will be, no matter what you put in or on it.
I'm with you, Princess. I sometimes enjoy a quick open sandwich of just butter and a tiny sprinkle of salt.
8.25 after the first bite with HP, you turned into Scooby Doo 😂. Glad you enjoyed it, us Brits love it!
The bacon must be crispy with buttered bread and HP sauce. Don't forget a large mug of tea. Enjoy...from UK
Scooby Doo 😂 you are so right 😅
@@paulinemurphy3766 😄
The tamarind hit and the ability to shine brass coins is one of the wonders of HP sauce.
I was going to say if Lindsay has any copper she needs to polish, to use the sauce. 🤣
Looks yummy. In the UK the bacon cut you used would be called ‘bacon medallions’. Medallions are the leanest cut of bacon. Next would be the cut known as ‘back bacon’. Back bacon is the medallion part with the part of the streaky cut still attached. The fattiest cut is the streaky part on its own.
A1 sauce was a popular British table sauce (invented for George IV in 1824 ) HP sauce took over in popularity in 1884 and was served in the Houses of Parliament (hence HP) , they have very similar ingredients /flavour profiles.
I thought A1 was purely an American sauce.
@@macalauresmuse well it is now ☺️ I've never tried it (being from Britain, and not being over 200 years old 😂)
Guys the next sandwich you have to make is a 'crisp sandwich'. Cheese & Onion or Roast Chicken
Yes a crisp sandwich 🤤 I prefer salted Walkers though 🤤 I’m not sure it would be nice in sourdough bread 🤔
Or even a toast sandwich which is surprisingly ok considering.
All those carbs are not doing your insulin levels any good. No wonder pre diabetes is so prevalent.
@@stevenhull5025 lol it isn’t s daily go to its a once in a while treat
Blue Stilton sandwich with smokey bacon crisps and a little sprinkle of Lea & Perrins! Heaven.
Right!!! Bacon, sausage, fried egg and a squished fried tomato in a big buttered bread roll, sauce of choice and a mug of tea. No ifs no buts, it is the way.....
Stop it now. You're making me hungry
You can put HP sauce on chips (in a sandwich or as a side sauce), with sausages, with steak, on fried eggs, just about anything meaty really.
Im not a fan of it but hubby puts it on most things.
Sausage and HP sauce butty
You can put HP sauce in Bolognese sauce too !!
Sourdough bread is okay you need white sliced bread 🍞 for a bacon buttty. Those bacon pieces look nice though 😋
Ergh! sourdough is like cardboard!
@@AndrewAHayesit's okay but they need council house white sliced loaf
@@chucky2316 I think their white bread would ruin it as I've tried it and it's too sweet.
At a rural breakfast for July 4th, I was dished up an enormous breakfast. Being a rural area and not a tourist spot, I was a ‘celebrity’ and people wanted to know why I wanted to visit their area.
What shocked me was their surprise when I refused to soak my plate with maple syrup!
Melted cheese on toast with brown sauce is banging 👍🏼☺️
You should try cheese on toast with a splash of soy sauce and garlic powder :D
@@pitchdark2024 Ooh yeah I've had soy sauce too, forgot about that. 👍🏼
Dont open the whole cheese on toast debate. This always starts a row i my house
Now you have me salivating, cheese on toast with a light skim of marmite (while it is toasting) and HP on top - yum.
Cheese on toast with Worcestershire Sauce is also really good.
You made the butty perfectly. Bacon cooked perfect. Perfect amount of HP. Congratulations on the perfect tasting sarnie
Yorkshire tea, milk no sugar, in a sportsdirect mug.
How the hell do we all have at least one sportsdirect mug?
Sports Direct used to be very crafty with those cups they used to just throw them in your basket and charge you £1 for them. That’s probably why everyone has one.
UK version of the Stanley.
Did anyone send them Sports Direct mugs?
@@GuntherVonSprout I still give them as Christmas presents! I'm a miserable bugger
bacon - extra mature cheddar cheese - HP sauce - farmhouse bread = delicious
HP do a Fruity sauce, less strong but just as good.
HP sauce is already fruity. So thay made a fruity version of the already fruity sauce? Wierd.
Sour dough is awesome, I remove the fat from my bacon and prefer smoked than unsmoked bacon. I can eat it slightly cooked up to just before it goes too crispy. I never put sauce on it as I feel it detracts from the actual flavour of the bacon. I'll also do it on toast as well or some soft rolls (Baps) etc.
For me the question of whether to remove the fat depends on the cut. Belly fat tastes like old fish to me and I hate it, but back bacon cooked slowly in its own fat so that it renders a bit is gorgeous IMO.
The war of HP V Ketchup. Good luck which one do you like. 😂😂😂
I prefer my bacon without sauce, especially not brown.
@@elemar5 that is thing with bacon delicious so many ways, I am hungry now.
Of course then you get more contenders - (a small amount of) English Mustard or HP Fruity Sauce. They're all good 🥰 Definitely one of the treats I miss (a little) as a vegan - spicy veggie burgers with lashings of HP sauce are nice but ... then there's the real McCoy.
red with bacon, brown with bangers
I like my bacon butty with ‘Reggae Reggae’ sauce 🤪
No cheese and generally we don't overcook the bacon, only until the fat crisps. HP sauce can go with anything, just put a dollop on the side of your plate an dip.
Ketchup for Bacon, HP for Sausage
Did you know...HP stands for Houses of Parliament sauce. It explains the picture on the bottle too. The sauce was invented to show off all the spices from around the Empire.
Not many Brits know that
Cant go wrong with a bacon butty and brown sauce 👍🏻✌🏻😂
Brits can be divided by the question “red or brown?” Do you have hp or ketchup on a bacon sandwich. So either would fly.
Red on bacon, brown on sausages. 😂😂
@@CliffordShutealways red!
Brown sauce
My grandmother used to ask me that when she’d make sausages and fried potatoes. I always wanted both, but she was health conscious, so we always had to pick just one. 😂
Am I the only one in the UK who has mustard and ketchup?!? 🤔🇬🇧
The bread used makes a difference too. US bread tends to be sweet as it contains a lot of sugar, whereas UK bread does not contain sugar. The butter also should be lightly salted.
To be fair to them, that looks like an OK bread rather than something hyper processed.
@@petoperceptum If its not direct from a bakery then it has too much sugar in it.
Off the shelf supermarket bread defo has sugar in it
@@kevpage Correct... apart from Warburtons No Added Sugar Wholemeal. I've just double checked the ingredients list on the loaf I have in the freezer to make sure I'm not talking nonsense. 😆
The bread we use has no sugar in it!
A Brit here. As a side note, the all American A1 sauce did in fact, originate in the UK and made by Brand, know in the UK as Brands A1 sauce. And the A1 name came from King George IV who loved the sauce and declared it A1! ** also very nice in a bacon butty..
Cheese on a bacon sandwich? NO NO NO, that's actually criminal.
Nah, it's ok
EGG!
It's good! Aaaand....a fried egg.
No it bloody isn't! Bacon and cheese is a classic combo. Only an egg would have been better!
@@jonnydarkfang2816 yum!
I ALWAYS toast my bread before having a bacon butty! Makes it 10x better
Absolutely 👍 and so soggy bread 🍞 lol
A lot of brits don’t know this but hp stands for Houses of Parliament which is why their is a picture of it on the bottle
I’ll change my statement to some brits don’t know😂😂😂most people I’ve asked didn’t have a clue
Yes HP sauce is dominant these days, but Daddies brown sauce was also popular when I was young, (although I haven’t seen it for many years).
I didnt know that! 👍🏻
Yes we do FFS!!!🤦 🇬🇧
Most British know this mate not a clever thing to say
How could you not know this if you are a Brit?? Don't they teach anything in schools anymore?
I would never put butter on a bacon sandwich or have HP sauce but lots do here
You better write the recipe down, So many ingredients…butter, bacon, bread…..you guys are geniuses….and HP sauce….living on the edge….
Next week check out scrambled eggs….it will blow your mind…
Why the sarcasm? Can't you just join in the celebration of someone enjoying a delight they haven't had before?
I use bacon medallions, theres no fat just the meat, i do like cheese and ketchup, and ofcourse the fried egg and bacon sandiwch yummm
Oh and we put everything between bread and butter lol
Fun fact....A1 steak sauce was made in Britain 1st. When HP came out it blew A1 out the park, as far as I know A1 is now only sold in the USA.
I bought A1 a while ago (in the UK) to try and HP is far nicer.
A1 is still in the uk just not as popular
A1 isn't great tbh. HP far superior
@@NicholasJH96 nobody buys it then, it's not even close to HP
@@101steel4 facts!
It works just fine with streaky bacon. Younger people may go with ketchup, it has less bite than HP
There are moments when I wish someone had invented 'smelly vision' . This is one of them!
At times, my brain has smellivision. If I see the bacon cooking I smell it, even though it's not cooking in my house. It happens the most when I see someone on TV light a cigarette. As an ex smoker (15yrs now), I get a second of smellivision and it's lovely.
@@hellsbells8689 I am clearly missing out on this special gift! I'm jealous. BTW congrats on being an ex-smoker for 15years. Impressive!
I no longer live in the UK, but I go home next week. First thing I do is have a bacon butty. I cant wait!
The best possible Welcome Home. 😊
Brit here! Back in the poorer days, we'd have a 'bacon press' butty. basically, the bacon would be sandwiched between two buttered slices, then the bacon was removed and given to dad for his butty. You were left with two buttered slices of bread with a taste of bacon. now, in more prosperous times, we'd add a fried egg and sausage too (a BSE butty). We'll typically use just a splash of HP sauce. The general rule of thumb is, HP for bacon, Heinz tomato sauce for a sausage butty. If it's a BSE, anything goes. 👍
We also called the BSE butty the 'Mad Cow'
No we didn't so stop yapping on behalf of the "brits"
They're obviously talking about themselves / their family
Never heard of a bacon press butty, People did what they had to do back in the day.
@@IAMNationX I'm fairly convinced I was talking about myself. I'm merely pointing out that I'm British, because that's part of the OP's subject matter.
I either use the airfryer or grill to cook the bacon as it makes it a little healthier and as originally mentioned if you are going to use sauce spread it on the bread and butter to give an even spread
