BLT!

The BLT is a well known and possibly easily achieved sandwich, but everyone has their favourite. I decided that I’d eat a couple of these, and I started with the lovely Korean couple who run the cafe near my workplace. The resulting sandwich was pretty good, but it was missing one vital ingredient.

I think we can all agree that along with the three main ingredients, the BLT requires some kind of condiment, usually mayo. This sandwich was sadly lacking in that department. I don’t know what Phil and Jeanette were thinking, or if they just forgot it. Otherwise, it was a good sandwich. A bit on the pricey side, even with my mates’ rates discount, but massive. The bacon was crispy, the lettuce blandly icebergy, and the bun crusty. Still the absence of mayo had me wanting something more.

Here in the Southern Hemisphere, tomatoes are just starting to ripen. The arrival of this sandwich on the list was an excellent excuse to buy some more of the amazing locally cured bacon from Pialligo Farm,

and stock up on my favourite cherry tomatoes and fluffy white bread.

Feeling the the lack of mayo on my previous  sandwich, I bought a jar of my favourite Dijonnaise, which I tested out on a chicken sandwich yesterday.

Dijonnaise. Yum.

I fried the bacon up and started building.

Building. Bacon!

Ready to go.

 Of course, when I told the boys what the dinner plan was, Mr 14 was enthusiastic, and Mr 6 was non. Mr 6 had a CLT (cheese) with no  Dijonnaise, while Mr 14 had what I did. All up a successful meal.
