Talk:Bacon butty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Bacon butties are an all day favourite throughout the United Kingdom, similar to fish and chips or bangers and mash." Bacon butties are definitely all day favourite being eaten morning, noon and night; but I've never heard of people eating bangers and mash for breakfast, and the only people I've seen start the day with fish and chips were extremely hungover young men. If no one disagrees I'll edit it. --Acamon 20:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

"Contrary to popular belief, the bacon butty was not invented by actor Kevin Bacon" WHAT?! Who would possibly believe that?SRP 17:47, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I've edited the page to change "usually with some form of gravy on it" to "usually with some form of sauce on it." I may be hopelessly wrong and consequently this may be opinion rather than fact. But as a British dish I've never seen gravy on a bacon butty, and it's my understanding that this is primarily a British term. JennyRad, 21:10 5th November 2005 GMT.

I too have never observed gravy upon a bacon butty delight and hence I agree with your alteration. I, myself, prefer a nice dash of vinegar - lovely jubbly! A further addition of HP sauce makes for a truly superb consumption.

One can of course opt for the more exotic Bacon Buertoen.

[edit] Speedy? I think not

I have a cookbook printed in the UK (Recipes from The Nation's Favourite Food, 2003 companion guide to the BBC miniseries, ISBN 0563488662) that specifically mentions bacon butties, and there are plenty of Google hits that have nothing to do with Wikipedia that assert the existence of the bacon butty. I had never heard of such a thing, but it does seem to exist, and to be quite a notable form of British breakfast/junk food. Haikupoet 03:31, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Check any book-length Beatles biography or history; butties were standard Beatles food, mentioned frequently (bacon butties and chip butties in particular), and preferred over much of the catered food they got after they became famous. George Harrison is quoted in Philip Norman's Shout! as telling a journalist, "I'll trade you an autograph for a jam butty." Zephyrad 03:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

It certainly seems you have your sources. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[edit] Sources

There are a lot of comments in this article which are POV. Statements such as bacon butty's being a staple food and the favourite of people. These need references. Also references to 'dry bacon butty' as being known as a common name etc...

As it stands, it reads like a fan page of the bacon butty. -Localzuk ^(talk) 19:17, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, you know how enthusiasm can blur the line between fact and feeling. Personally, I'd like to see a formal, collective Butty page (ooh, potential bad pun?), with sections for bacon, chip, jam and other kinds of butties, condensing everything from the existing pages and adding whatever other essentials we can find.

Some factual problems here.

When bread becomes toasted, it can no longer be considereda butty.

And raisin bread never comes into the equation.

Similar, I dont feel BLT is in the spirit of the butty.

[edit] Butty?

This term is a fairly English one (NW?), I would have thought, so why is it the page every other article redirects to (b. sandwich, b. sarnie etc)? I think it should be changed so bacon sandwich is used.

I agree that Bacon sandwich would be better as as well as butty ther term Bacon Roll is ued quite often or as they say in Scotland "a roll and bacon" which when asked for one in my days a catering assistant and later cook in a self-service restaurant I was sometimes tempted to serve a bread roll with the bacon seperatly but I never did.
