Eat BLTs!

The Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato is one of the best sandwiches. Commonly known as the BLT, it's history is older than you think.

Starting shortly before 1900,  the BLT evolved out of the Tea Sandiwhces in England. That's right, the British created delicious food. I hadn't even realized that. It is currently one of the most popular sandwiches both in the United States and the United Kingdom, enjoyed by all social classes. The sandwich's popularity has led to a number of oversized reproductions (the current record for the "world's largest BLT" is over 209 ft/64 m) and a pop art sculpture by Claes Oldenburg.

Since all social classes enjoy the BLT, it is also a classless sandwich, meaning it can promote a Socialist Agenda! Look out America, Socialism is in your sandwich! Ironically, a lot of rednecks refer to bacon as a 'Merican thing.

My favorite BLT variation is the BATA. Bacon, Arugula, Tomato, and Avocado. The creamy avocado brings the bacon and arugula nicely together, and the tomato gives it an added juice to the sandwich. I generally think of lettuce as a flavorless food, one with no independent taste, relying on the other foods it is always served with. Arugula is flavorful, healthier, and god damn yummy. Then for bread, you can use almost any bread, but i prefer a nice rye bread, adding more flavor. Then to coat this bread with a very thin layer of Miracle Whip with a dash of Tabasco hot sauce, or if you happen to have it, Bacon Hot Sauce. Yes that's right, it exists. Google it. Now. Now you know how to put together a sandwich don't you? Good. The bacon you should have for this should be cooked by whatver means you want, although I prefer it traditional, on my frying pan. Use thick cut bacon, preferably peppered, never EVER use cheap smoke-injected bacon, it just isn't the same.

Now once you have cooked the bacon, you can have the sandwich. Serve with a soda, tea, coffee, beer, wine, any drink you want! Hell even have a bacon Martini with it. You can look that one up yourself, as I don't drink alcohol. I love a nice cold root beer from a glass bottle with my BATA or BLT, next to some Lightly Salted potato chips.
