"Usually preferred by people who are allergic to red meat."

I have never heard this before, is this an American thing? I like BLT and I am not allergic to red meat. Google can find no other references to this. Edward

Bacon (pork) is technically red meat. —jiy (talk) 07:06, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Britain

Just a quick comment to say that BLT sandwiches in Britain are quite often served on wholemeal bread rather than white. Loganberry (Talk) 00:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Sadly to say, but here in America, most people tend to prefer the foods that are less natural. Take for example, all the fast food chains. In a highly populated city, it can almost be said that you'll never be more than a block away from fast food places. The low prices, the ease, and the marketing convince people to take the white bread over the whole wheat. 69.208.173.93 06:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to say that I can't believe this wasn't an article before and how glad I am that someone created it :) Isopropyl 04:51, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

At least in Britain, I've never heard of a BLT with cheese in it... Is this something special in the US (or elsewhere)? EAi 15:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I've never heard of putting cheese on a BLT, seems like its a personal preference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.220.238.174 (talk) 23:59, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] YouTube links

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 03:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cut out the TLB Salad invented by some dude on Food Network; put it on his page if you have to.

This should be on Alton Brown's page, or on the Good Eats page.

In an episode of Good Eats, Alton Brown declared that a BLT is too difficult to eat as a sandwich, and constructed a salad of bacon, lettuce, cherry and grape tomatoes, and croutons with a vinaigrette dressing. He also dubbed it a TLB, claiming that the tomatoes are the real feature of the dish.

[edit] BLTs are British?

I'm not convinced. Is there something you could cite to support this claim? Bigpeteb 04:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

They eat plenty of them in the US. So whether it's a British sandwich or not it's also an American sandwich. I'll look for any appropriate categories to add. Wikidemo 23:55, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In Popular Culture

Okay, my vote is to keep this section. It is interesting and adds to the article. It's not just a random "Trivia" section in my oppinion, and lots of articles have "In Popular Culture" sections. Captain Phoebus 17:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I looked it over and don't see anything there that's terribly helpful or illustrative of the sandwich. Nothing anyone needs to know to understand the subject. Wikidemo 23:54, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich

This could be included as a variant, it's essentially the same sandwich, just without the bacon. I will add it if there are no objections.--RLent (talk) 17:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
