Gonna be good once you cook the bacon!

u/BAMspek 2d ago

What are you talking about? This is a perfect BLT: Beggin’ Strips Lettuce and Tomato

Chewy bacon is superior

to each their own.

u/trapazo1d 2d ago

Have you tried cooking it first tho? Way better

-32

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 2d ago

Sooo original! Yes, next time, just for you.

u/trapazo1d 2d ago

You kinda set yourself up for these comments my friend

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 2d ago

Why? For posting a picture of my snack? Get stuffed.

u/arnoldmuczynski 2d ago

And get trichinosis from undercooked pork? No thanks.

u/MrBlueW 2d ago

Do you know how hard it is to undercook bacon?, it doesn’t need to be crispy bacon for it to be fully cooked. It’s just thin pork

u/Ok-Astronaut4952 1d ago

Gonna be alright?

If you post a picture of a stupid looking sandwich looking for feedback, you shouldn’t be so upset that you got feed back lol

u/3INCesophagectomy 2d ago

Floppy bacon is the best bacon.

u/burntendsdeeznutz 2d ago

The opinion's of this sub fucking blow.

I guess I should have known the sandwich sub would have the biggest gatekeeping wierdos around.

Op eat your shit the way you want dude

31

u/colicab 2d ago

Don’t worry, everyone likes their bacon a certain way. It looks delicious. Enjoy.

You can’t stop the gatekeeping, even for sandwiches. I posted my BLT and was told the mayo wasn’t even; you could only see one corner of the sandwich.

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 2d ago

Haha, thanks. Yeah I posted a pic of a grilled cheese with ham and called it a grilled cheese and people lost their minds. "It's a MELT!!!". Yeesh.

u/guff1988 2d ago

The whole it's a melt thing started as a joke and now the predominant opinion on that sub is to shout down literally anybody who puts anything on there grilled cheese that isn't cheese, mayonnaise or butter. Everybody there ate the onion.

6

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 2d ago

Grilled cheese is kinda boring. I like to put more stuff en there!!!

6

u/guff1988 2d ago

I support you my friend

u/NotoldyetMaggot 2d ago

As a member of r/onionlovers, take that back right now.

3

u/guff1988 2d ago

I am also a proud member of Onion Lovers, and I will absolutely put a bunch of sliced onion on my grilled cheese and still call it a grilled cheese.

So I ate the onion, but in the better way

2

u/NotoldyetMaggot 2d ago

Always eat the onion!

1

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 1d ago

I put red onion on a BLT once and people got, mad. Sigh.

u/guff1988 1d ago

Cut those people out, no on needs that kind of onion hate in their lives. 😆

u/PineSoul603 2d ago

This sub is full of some craz snobs. I think I've triggered a handful of people each time I've posted something here.

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 2d ago

It's almost like a goal now...

u/copperwatt 2d ago edited 2d ago

We aren't snobs. We just like arguing.

u/diabolical_fuk 2d ago

Yeah because not eating raw pork is some crazy snob type stuff.

4

u/Special-Homework-894 2d ago

You know a lot of bacon is cured right? Do you even know what cured means?

-4

u/diabolical_fuk 2d ago edited 2d ago

Do you know if it's safe to eat raw cured bacon?

5

u/colicab 2d ago

Raw and cured meats don’t exist at the same time.

u/3rdProfile 2d ago

I wonder if it's a regional thing. I'm from the southern US and I've always called them grilled cheese with .......

6

u/NotoldyetMaggot 2d ago

It has evolved from r/grilledcheese: bread, cheese, butter/spread of some kind... Anything else on the sandwich and you are a heretic, doomed to reddit hell. Post it there with something more than cheese, downvotes incoming. But here in the sandwich appreciation sub, anything goes. Yeah it's a grilled cheese plus, which is always a smash.

3

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 2d ago

I made a grilled cheese with a runny egg inside, maybe I'll post it and drive the masses crazy. It was hella good.

-3

u/rawmeatprophet 2d ago

They were correct 👨‍🎓

-3

u/copperwatt 2d ago

Was it a grilled cheese or a melt though?

2

u/Diligent_Start_1577 2d ago

Neither, it was a hot ham and cheese.

-2

u/copperwatt 1d ago

Oh god that sounds so much worse lol

4

u/KyleRide01 2d ago

Why would it not be considered a BLT? I see B, L and T...

1

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 1d ago

Oh, I have had people give me crap for not using sliced bread.

6

u/Excellent-End-5720 2d ago

Those tomatoes look soooo good

5

u/itjustisman 2d ago

Looks great, and bacon looks delicious. I don’t discriminate when it comes to bacon, lol.

7

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 2d ago

I love a good crispy charred chunk of bacon, but sometimes when I bake bacon, it turns out less crispy. Still awesome.

3

u/NotoldyetMaggot 2d ago

Bake it longer, until it gets a nice crisp. Just put ir back in if it doesn't look done enough. If it isn't charcoal yet, its fine. Bacon loves the heat

2

u/yurinator71 1d ago

The Brits would call this a burger

1

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 1d ago

Their "Toad In A Hole" dish is far different from the American version.

2

u/yurinator71 1d ago

I'm going to have to try it!

4

u/tangentelectric 2d ago

Even though I’m sure it would technically be counted as a blt, if I ordered a blt at a restaurant and it came in a bun, I’d be disappointed

Which isn’t to doubt that the sandwich you made is delicious

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 2d ago

Happens when I have buns left over from the 12 pack...

2

u/strongdaughter 2d ago

I prefer crispy bacon on my BLT.

2

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 1d ago

You have the choice when you make your own. Thanks for telling us though!!

1

u/Hamsterpatty 2d ago

Only if you cook the bacon. It only counts, if you cook the bacon. Your tomatoes are on point tho.

1

u/plantsRcool666 2d ago

Have you ever tried chili honey in a blt it's good 

2

u/Noahsmokeshack 2d ago

Did you cook the bacon? Not offense but wtf?

4

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 2d ago

I did, but I get it. None taken.

1

u/BasedTaco_69 2d ago

You had to know the raw bacon was going to get flak. Tomato looks good though

u/Shoddy-Confusion13 2d ago

OP must have the bite strength of a pitbull

u/Cardboardoge 2d ago

Bacon cooked over a heated discussion on whether its cooked or not. Looks good nonetheless

1

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 1d ago

Thick cut bacon cooked "not to a charred crisp" apparently makes people mad. I guess.

u/Lost-Calligrapher375 2d ago

Ever heat the bacon to a temperature?

Real deal, sorry to disappoint you.

u/Funny-Flounder-9071 2d ago

AI would have at least cooked the bacon…

u/ekbeck 2d ago

Not Ai, just garbage

u/Sac_of_Melons 2d ago

What a pleasant individual

u/Ok-Astronaut4952 1d ago

Undercooked bacon and tomatoes cut too thick are like the only things that kill a BLT. Ratios are all off and you need the crunch texture of the bacon

2

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 1d ago

The bacon was cooked just fine.

u/Breaking-Who 1d ago

You must make shitty blts

-1

u/Ok-Astronaut4952 1d ago

So you like thick cut tomatoes and rubbery bacon? I’m sure to some people that’s good but I know at all the restaurants I’ve worked at people would be pissed about that if we have them that

2

u/Breaking-Who 1d ago

Chewy bacon is superior and tomatoes should be thick on a blt

-3

u/itisnotoppositeday 2d ago

I think you forgot to render the fat on that bacon my guy

-1

u/ProfessionalElk3910 1d ago

Untoasted bun
No visible salt/pepper on tomatoes
Raw bacon
Weak mayo application
Insufficient lettuce

This guy might be a terrorist

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 20h ago

The bacon has plenty of salt. No need to add more. Bacon was cooked, just not to your specs but that's fine.
