I refuse to believe that no-one out of a population of 340000000 people thought to put bacon between two slices of bread before now.
well i can assure you english expats do, but unlike here they have to put up with sugar cake bread (bread made with sugar is so sad) and white unspreadable butter because American cows don't feed on grass they get dry feed
@@paulmilner8452 *screeches in English (simplified)*
No Earl of Sandwich gambling so much that he couldn’t leave the gaming tables and devised a way of having jest without a knife and fork …
@@paulmilner8452they feed on concrete with Mexican water (!)
Their bread is different and they don't put butter on it anyway
Did you forget to boil the kettle. Where's the big mug of tea. 😀😃😄
Big mug of strong Tea or Coffee needed with Bacon sandwich.
Sports direct mug required
A mug of Tea is an absolute must with a Bacon Butty 👍👍
I think its illegal to eat a bacon butty without one
A nice cuppa is standard , especially if the contents are a bit salty .
Im flabbergasted you've never had butter on a sandwich, I couldn't imagine a sandwich without butter😂
I'm the same ...people that don't have butter are just weird dunno what's wrong with them
Butter is a must. More the merrier
I never use butter in a sandwich. You get enough moisture from all the other stuff. To me you guys are wierd.
I never put butter on toast if I'm having bacon, and I like my bacon either in the Air fryer or grilled, its got to be crispy.
Same! I'm genuinely shocked! The only time I haven't had butter or a buttery spread on a sandwich is when I've run out & then I substitute it with a thin layer of mayo or something.
"I've never had butter on untoasted bread" - this blew my mind!!!!
Mine too😗
Yup me too 🤯 how do they keep cheese in a sandwich? 😂
We butter our bread for everything. Hot chips straight out of the deep fat fryer on a heavily buttered slice of bread is amazing! The butter melts onto the chips. It's a treat I have whilst cooking!
I prefer HP fruity sauce or even ketchup.
Why ?
The smell of bacon cooking is one of the best 'simple pleasures' of life. 😋
And downfall of many a vegetarian!
They call bacon the Devils sweet lok
There is a holy trinity of smell for any high street food shop, bacon cooking, fresh coffee and freshly baked bread.
Onions frying 🥴
You know it!
Bacon and Fried Egg sandwich with HP Sauce and some button mushrooms, yum.
Now you're taking my language.......hmmmmmmm
Yeah, if you don't want a sauce.... I second the suggestion of a fried egg
😋
With a runny yolk, so that it's nice and messy to eat.
@malcolmrowe9003 Depending on your tolerance for spicy food..... - chop a chilli pepper and place on the egg as you're frying the egg. Its my go-to beer munchies food lol
Bacon Butty was the right choice, to try HP sauce for the first time.
Only missing a fried egg
@@paulfoster553 Definitely missing the Fried Egg!
@@paulfoster553 was going to say the same thing
fried egg and mushrooms imo
have to have melted cheese on the bread
Bacon and egg butty with hp brown sauce, chip butty with hp brown sauce, cooked breakfast which includes, baked beans, mushrooms, fried egg, black pudding, sausage, hash browns, fried tomato, bacon and plenty of hp brown sauce with a nice cup of tea or coffee to go with it. 😋 😋 😋
u making me hungry
Love cooked breakfast !! Black pudding is my favourite food ever !! Chip butty with salt and vinegar and fruity sauce is absolutely gorgeous !! 👌🍛☕🍽
With Staffordshire oatcakes 😊
Hear hear.
I prefer the fruity HP sauce.
My Wife is from the US and one of the first things I made Her was a fish finger sandwich! She loved it and we still snack on that from time to time ;)
A flush finger sandwich is the best thing for HP Sauce , no contest !
*fish finger - obvs
A piece of cold fried haddock is also nice in a butty. One of my mother's favourites.
A really good comfort food
I love a fish finger buttie
Now, do an egg and bacon sandwich with hp brown sauce. Trust me, it's the best, and other american yourtubers have tried it, and they said its the best sandwich they have ever had....
Egg yolk not set, so it floops all over the sandwich and adds texture. I love to fry the egg in the same pan afterwards so it can pick up all the sticky bacon caramelisation.
*fried egg with a runny yolk, but also works with a 'pancake' egg (omelette) for manageability. Best of all is sausage, egg 'n bacon (easier to handle on a roll). All with HP or tomato ketchup, whichever is your preference. Add anything you like to a bacon butty as a base, sliced gherkins, iceberg lettuce, sliced red bell peppers, etc.
Save the cheese (proper cheese that is) for a sarnie with Branston pickle or a Ploughman's Lunch.
@Bakers_Doesnt nah...what's with gherkins and that rabbit crap... egg, bacon, and sausage if you want, but you can't beat egg and bacon with brown sauce...
@@terencewelch9800 I wasn't aware the Butty Police were in town.
@Bakers_Doesnt that's not traditional sandwich with that rubbish in it...if you went in a motorway cafe and asked for that, they would laugh at you and then kick you out, lol
Fried egg …. Runny yolk! …. Crispy bacon and HP sauce! Cup of tea! Best brekkie on the go! 🫶🏼
Hp with bacon or sausage, if an egg is added then it’s red sauce 😊
Oh yes an egg on top of the bacon the yolk running over the bacon and a mug of tea xxxx
Hash browns don't forget
Bacon is good done in the air fryer, about 6 mins 😋
Needed a drop more cooking oil.
HP was named after London's Houses of Parliament. After making its first appearance on British dinner tables in 1895. HP Sauce went on to become an icon of British culture
The picture on the front of the bottle is a selection of London landmarks including Elizabeth Tower, the Palace of Westminster, and Westminster Bridge.
Sadly no longer manufactured in Birmingham, England. But bought by Heinz who relocated manufacture to the Netherlands. I no longer buy it !
And Completely ruined the taste, it is nothing like it used to be, Aldi brown sauce is much better and cheaper.
I'm a Brit and i have Cheese on toast with HP sauce quite often and it is very nice
Totally agree! This is what I came on to write 👍🤣
Tomato too.
i meanc ome on we like hp sauce but cheese on toast without worcestshire is a war crime
Worcestershire sauce on cheese 👍🤣
Try Marmite under the cheese 😊
My Grandma used to make 2 bacon butties wrapped greaseproof paper for Grandpa every morning to go to work. As he built his engineering works into a great success, she still sent him off with them. The bacon smell inside his Mercedes V12 was hidden by the cigar smoke.😂
HP sauce is really good on top of bubbling hot grilled cheese on toast
Canadian bacon isnt exactly the same but near enough. Our bacon is normally thinner cut so it goes crispier
We have thicker cut bacon and bacon has got thinner over the years. Thick bacon does go crispy. It’s how it’s cured and a lot of cheap supermarket bacon has added water.
@@dee2251 i know we do. Thats why i said "normally"
I do bacon butties with buttered toast and ketchup and a big cuppa sweet tea 😋
You seriously telling me Americans have never made a bacon sarny
Most supermarkets have various styles of bacon: back and streaky (obvs), smoked or unsmoked, different cure types (e.g. Wiltshire, drycure, etc.), and thick or regular. When I was a kid my mother bought the bacon from the general store where my uncle worked, and the bacon was sliced to order off a big joint. She always asked for the thickest setting.
Should have dipped a slice of the bread in the bacon fat in the pan 🤤 guilty pleasure! 🤣🙌🏼
There’s a French chef based in London who rejected the idea of brown sauce for years, then had it for the first time in a bacon sarny (another word for a butty), and he wasn’t just sold on the idea of it, he started to use it in his recipes
Whenever you go to a Chinese takeaway and see OK sauce it's basically that, brown sauce.
You refer to Raymond Blanc and he does not use it in his recipes. He just loves a bacon butty.
I use HP sauce in my stews. Adds a flavour nobody can place.
Also, try a bacon sandwich or roll with Branston Pickle. Game changer.
If you want to make a really good but quick Welsh Rarebit, a friend of mine told me this recipe: Grate some cheddar into a bowl, add a good dollop of mayonnaise, and a splash of HP. Mix it all together, spread it on the toast, and grill. It's delicious!
@@BackToTheBlues ooh I'm going to try that today mmmmm
Bacon Butty with HP sauce.........the food of the God's! 😋😋😋😋😋
Remember that most of their bacon is like extra thin, water injected streaky, their sliced bread is mostl sweet, more like cake and many don't use butter on bread because of this?
gods*
From the UK, you guys did it right, great job, looked like a decent bacon sandwich
Agreed. The bacon colour was just how I'd do it, although I have a friend who likes it very undercooked, and I once saw a couple of Dutch guys buy a packet of bacon from a British supermarket and eat it raw in the park opposite.
Definitely can't eat undercooked bacon around here! 😅 Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
HP and Sausage sandwich is really good. Bacon and Sausage sandwich and HP even better! But you do need a cup of tea too!
Pro tip; After you butter the bread, you spread the HP sauce on the bread itself instead of drizzling on the bacon. That way you get an even distribution without having to,use so much of it…
Also, I often shove bacon on a flat sheet lined with foil straight in the oven. Frees up the job for cooking the beans and eggs etc.
I prefure my bacon done in the oven but as long as its crispy im happy ! 😂
There should be a law for people who put bacon in the oven, it should be fried only lol
@@kevoss74 I always grilled bacon until I had to use the oven when the grill fell off my stove. I didn't want to pan fry it for health reasons. Even soaking it in the exuded fat and blasting it with a hot air paint stripper couldn't restore the proper flavour. So I rediscovered pan frying and bought wider trousers.
Oh no!.you have to fry back bacon. Any other way is lesser and lazy.
Bacon in the oven is good, but frying the egg in the same pan as the bacon is the one
A1 sauce is probably the closest thing you guys have to HP sauce. A1 was 'invented' in the UK, btw
1824 - UK, for George IV, it feel out of favour and HP was invented mid Victorian period.
And production moved to The Netherlands!!!!!
Yet not really sold over here
Thats true, but it still is as good. @aledhughes3609
@@user-pi3hb2xi8v Tesco's carry it??

Why can’t you
@@jimrodda omg my mouth's watering now 😋that would be perfect 👍yum yum yummo
Brits can be divided by the question “red or brown?” Do you have hp or ketchup on a bacon sandwich. So either would fly.
Red on bacon, brown on sausages. 😂😂
@@CliffordShutealways red!
Brown sauce
My grandmother used to ask me that when she’d make sausages and fried potatoes. I always wanted both, but she was health conscious, so we always had to pick just one. 😂
Am I the only one in the UK who has mustard and ketchup?!? 🤔🇬🇧
You need a pick-me-up - Bacon Butty to the rescue.
You got drunk, wake up in the morning with a hang over - Bacon Butty to the rescue.

With a big mug of tea

@@beckscroft18 lol. I'm a well behaved lad. Well, I am now that I'm a fossil!
Fun fact: HP stands for Houses of Parliament ~ if you look on the bottle there's a picture of Big Ben etc...
Funner fact: There is no picture of Big Ben on the bottle, as Big Ben is a bell
Always one isn't there
It’s the Elizabeth Tower which does hold Big Ben. Semantics
@@danhan121 it used to be called St Stephen tower but was renamed after Queen Elizabth II golden Jubilee
In other news, tomato ketchup contains tomatoes 🥱
The bacon you've got we call, medallions. Nothing better than crispy bacon, on buttered bread with brown sauce. PS butter needs to be thick! lol
Absolutely agree. They needed to put lots more butter on that bread. Should be soaking into the bread way more than that.
some one is a brick layer when making a bacon butty lol
I don't understand those bacon medallions, - to me a big part of the allure of bacon is the fat and those things don't have any.
@@hardywatkins7737yeah if I want crispy bacon I avoid the madalions or however u spell it 😂
Does “uncured bacon” even exist? Medallions of pork, are not bacon; right? 🤔
Ketchup for Bacon, HP for Sausage
I find it weird that the states never butter their sandwiches.
So do I.
I didn’t know that until now 😂 it is weird.
Maybe it's because most of their supermarket bread is sweet?
Very weird but I think it's because they use mayonnaise instead most if not all of the time. It doesn't help that their bread contains a lot of sugar too.
@@tinabento-filipe191 Technically it`s not bread it`s cake.
HP sauce is great with bubble and squeak. My mother used to use up the Sunday lunch leftovers and warm them up in butter severed with HP sauce.
I’d forgotten about that. I’m on my own at 65, and don’t have waste food now. But b&s. Wonderful.
I'm British and you did a bloody cracking job on making this 👍
Right! Also amazing with a fried egg.
I sure as hell wouldn't say 'no' to one of these Sarnies!!!!! Cannot beat it!:-) ENJOY! ❤️
In the uk your either a red or a brown sauce person usually
@@johnwilliams1997 yeah but not always, some people love mustard or neither.
Right!!! Bacon, sausage, fried egg and a squished fried tomato in a big buttered bread roll, sauce of choice and a mug of tea. No ifs no buts, it is the way.....
Stop it now. You're making me hungry
Love bacon butty's with HP brown sauce! i also have it on a full English breakfast It also goes great with sausages & sausage rolls etc, plus i add some HP to baked beans to give them some added flavour, yes also works with chips/fries.
Bacon butty- HP, fried eggs - HP, beans on toast - HP, full English - HP.
@Bob10009 you need to try german curry ketchup 🤤🤤🤤
I agree with all that, but scrambled egg, i go red.
@@ezzabay7429 I go red for fish finger sarnies 😋😆
Bob knows what he's talking about..!
Branston for me, their baked beans have a thicker sauce and tastes far better. The Rich&Fruity brown sauce they do in a glass bottle is the best brown sauce too.
I think Steve’s reaction to the butty with HP sauce was the most enthusiastic I’ve seen one channel!
I totally get Lindsay’s feelings on HP, I reckon HP Fruity is the one for her .
HP Fruity is a good shout
Fruity all the way especially with a full English breakfast as it compliments everything on the plate where as HP brown sauce dominates.
His face really lit up ☺
Never heard of HP fruity! We're going to have to look that up.
You better write the recipe down, So many ingredients…butter, bacon, bread…..you guys are geniuses….and HP sauce….living on the edge….
Next week check out scrambled eggs….it will blow your mind…
Not sure if you are aware that A1 sauce was created in England and wasn't exported to the USA until the 1890s
Didn't know that!
A1 is only available now on amazon.
A chip butty is great especially with salt and vinegar on the chips. The vinegar and melting butter mix together to make them great.
Sadly American people don’t call chips as we know them ,chips are crisps and fries are chips .confusing I know 😅
Of course, I would have to read your comment at like 10.20pm at night when there’s no chippy’s open near me! Drooling here! Def having chippy tea tomorrow night! 😋
Super gorgeous. Also fish finger sandwich with salt and vinegar
A1 sauce was created in the UK in 1831 for fine dining at the Kings table, it went over to the US and gained popularity over there, however in the UK, HP sauce gained popularity over A1 sauce and now A1 sauce does not really exist in the UK.
Now someone needs to send you guys a bottle of HP Fruity sauce so you can experience the creme de la creme of Bacon Butty sauces.
HP Fruity is definitely my choice.
I ALWAYS toast my bread before having a bacon butty! Makes it 10x better
Absolutely 👍 and so soggy bread 🍞 lol
HP sauce all over a full English breakfast - fried eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans - fantastic! Try it guys,
It doesn't matter how bad your day is going, this channel always manages to put a smile on your face. So wholesome.
You can also have a bacon lettuce and tomato butty
With mayo not hp
@@Tinar55 Then that's a BLT, not a butty.
@@zoeadams2635 if it's between bread it's a butty
Now try with British sausage black pudding hp beans fried egg and bacon tinned plum tomatoes toast Nd a cup of english tea then you have a breakfast
Sounds lovely plus I’m aways getting black pudding’ I’m a Scott . Fried tomatoes not tinned 🥓
I don't bother with bacon unless its smoked. That is near on what we would call gammon, it's that thick. You can get thick cut bacon though. But as standard its thinner than that
I just love a bacon butty with just bread smothered in butter!
I've only had butter on once. I prefer no butter or dip the bread in the bacon fat in the pan.
You have no idea how important this combo is, it can sort out anything, hunger, infidelity, loneliness, lol :)
not to mention a cure for most hangovers.
add a cup of rosie and you're a world beater.
You're right there - I've cheered up a friend of mine twice after breakups with boyfriends by taking her out for a bacon butty.
Apart from english breakfast theres also 2 snacks we eat. 1.Cheese on toast with Worcestershire sauce sprinkled on mid melt. 2. Beans on toast, sprinkle of cheese & place a fried egg on top.
bacon, fried egg with a runny yolk, chesnut mushrooms pan fried in butter, buttered soft white bap/roll with daddies brown, pure bliss
And after a quick (?) appointment with the GP and the practice nutritionist.
@@clivewilliams3661 in moderation many things can be an acceptable part of your diet, it's all about balance and self control 🤷
@@MrSlothrun How can you control yourself with that -yum! Abstention is the only policy.
HP goes really well on a sausage sandwich too. Or bacon AND sausage! Many people (me included) love it on beans on toast, as well. Basically HP sauce with meaty breakfast stuffs is usually a win.
Go Lindsay...that is one mother of a bacon sandwich... #respect
haha I'll pass the word along! Thanks for watching :)
Enough Bacon on there to make 3 sandwiches .
I'm from Wigan and hearing an American call it a Bacon Butty is amazing, the south of england don't even know what a butty is, amazing, much love :D
I'm from Kent. We say bacon butty or chip butty. No need to spread falsehoods 🙄
Britain would collapse without Bacon and HP Sauce.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
@@davidbradley3254 some parts of the UK would, personally I treat it like marmite. Never been a fan
@@chelliebellie4443marmite is rough.. bovril is where it's at. 😂
I don't know a fried egg sandwich with ketchup on it in an emergency.
After you take the cooked bacon out of the pan, briefly put one side of each slice of bread (to be used in your sandwiches) into the pan to soak up the cooking juices. Makes the sandwiches even tastier and juicier.
Now you,ve got the idea!!
You can have it any way you prefer with any sauce you like,if you want cheese,any cheese you want,any bread you like,and any bacon you like,etc
You can put HP sauce on chips (in a sandwich or as a side sauce), with sausages, with steak, on fried eggs, just about anything meaty really.
Im not a fan of it but hubby puts it on most things.
Sausage and HP sauce butty
You can put HP sauce in Bolognese sauce too !!
Yorkshire tea, milk no sugar, in a sportsdirect mug.
How the hell do we all have at least one sportsdirect mug?
Sports Direct used to be very crafty with those cups they used to just throw them in your basket and charge you £1 for them. That’s probably why everyone has one.
UK version of the Stanley.
Did anyone send them Sports Direct mugs?
@@GuntherVonSprout I still give them as Christmas presents! I'm a miserable bugger
Gotta remember with bacon sandwiches they are easy to customise! Add in a fried egg, black pudding, extra sausage, onion rings, cheese, grilled tomato, any or all of these are valid choices, load capacity of the bread is often the limiting factor!
Also factor in time and location is a thing, cooking a good bacon sandwich over an open fire for breakfast on a camping or hiking trip in the wilds just takes them to another level.
8.25 after the first bite with HP, you turned into Scooby Doo 😂. Glad you enjoyed it, us Brits love it!
The bacon must be crispy with buttered bread and HP sauce. Don't forget a large mug of tea. Enjoy...from UK
Scooby Doo 😂 you are so right 😅
@@paulinemurphy3766 😄
A Brit here. As a side note, the all American A1 sauce did in fact, originate in the UK and made by Brand, know in the UK as Brands A1 sauce. And the A1 name came from King George IV who loved the sauce and declared it A1! ** also very nice in a bacon butty..
Cheese on a bacon sandwich? NO NO NO, that's actually criminal.
Nah, it's ok
EGG!
It's good! Aaaand....a fried egg.
No it bloody isn't! Bacon and cheese is a classic combo. Only an egg would have been better!
@@jonnydarkfang2816 yum!
Looks good! And no butter on a sandwich!? What’s the point in the sandwich then 😂😂
How many people put butter in a sandwich to try and taste the butter? The whole point of butter in a sandwich is to stop the bread tasting dry. If the bread isn't that dry then you don't really need butter.
@@mattf9406 what can I say, I like the butter
@@mattf9406 The butter creates a waterproof layer that stops any moist foodstuffs inside from leaking through the bread. I can't see how butter would make the bread taste less dry. If it's dry/stale bread it still will be, no matter what you put in or on it.
I'm with you, Princess. I sometimes enjoy a quick open sandwich of just butter and a tiny sprinkle of salt.
Melted cheese on toast with brown sauce is banging 👍🏼☺️
You should try cheese on toast with a splash of soy sauce and garlic powder :D
@@pitchdark2024 Ooh yeah I've had soy sauce too, forgot about that. 👍🏼
Dont open the whole cheese on toast debate. This always starts a row i my house
Now you have me salivating, cheese on toast with a light skim of marmite (while it is toasting) and HP on top - yum.
Cheese on toast with Worcestershire Sauce is also really good.
Toasted bread, no butter, chedder cheese, melt on breads, then cooked bacon, sliced fried mushrooms and HP sauce 👌
Guys the next sandwich you have to make is a 'crisp sandwich'. Cheese & Onion or Roast Chicken
Yes a crisp sandwich 🤤 I prefer salted Walkers though 🤤 I’m not sure it would be nice in sourdough bread 🤔
Or even a toast sandwich which is surprisingly ok considering.
All those carbs are not doing your insulin levels any good. No wonder pre diabetes is so prevalent.
@@stevenhull5025 lol it isn’t s daily go to its a once in a while treat
HP do a Fruity sauce, less strong but just as good.
HP sauce is already fruity. So thay made a fruity version of the already fruity sauce? Wierd.
Brit here! Back in the poorer days, we'd have a 'bacon press' butty. basically, the bacon would be sandwiched between two buttered slices, then the bacon was removed and given to dad for his butty. You were left with two buttered slices of bread with a taste of bacon. now, in more prosperous times, we'd add a fried egg and sausage too (a BSE butty). We'll typically use just a splash of HP sauce. The general rule of thumb is, HP for bacon, Heinz tomato sauce for a sausage butty. If it's a BSE, anything goes. 👍
We also called the BSE butty the 'Mad Cow'
No we didn't so stop yapping on behalf of the "brits"
They're obviously talking about themselves / their family
Never heard of a bacon press butty, People did what they had to do back in the day.
@@IAMNationX I'm fairly convinced I was talking about myself. I'm merely pointing out that I'm British, because that's part of the OP's subject matter.
Bacon butty + ketchup
Sausage butty + HP Sauce.
Both need a big mug of tea with milk.
This is the way!
Fun fact. The butter goes on the sandwich to stop the wet ingredients inside the sandwich from soaking into the bread too much. Almost essential if you are going to be adding tomato or anything like that.
We use either back and streaky bacon, whichever we have in the fridge. We generally have ketchup in a bacon sandwich and HP in a sausage sandwich, it goes great with sausages. I’ve never tried cheese on a bacon butty but, I want to now 😋
ohhh brown sauce in a sausage sandwich with friend onions, definitely yes, now i know what i'm havin' for my lunch tomorrow
Stfu with the "we" business. You don't know what fry up or roast I like . Stop yapping like you are the voice of the UK. So sick of people claiming to speak for the UK on food videos.
Many prefer the "original HP", but for those who don't care for it's "strength", they go either Quality Ketchup, or "HP Fruity".
I know a lot of American tourists over here say our back bacon looks like ham, but the bacon you have there does actually look more like what I'd call gammon than back bacon really, similar taste though, I actually prefer streaky bacon which is available everywhere you can buy back bacon in the UK, like in any supermarket about 10% of the bacon on the shelf will be streaky, but I also know our streaky isn't exactly the same as your bacon, just very similar, good effort though, looks a nice sandwich, I always use sourdough too and melt a little cheese inside the bread too and lightly toast the finished butty on both sides, so good, then just a bit of grain mustard with the cheese and it's really delicious!
Funny thing about sourdough bread in the UK is it's generally thought of as being a bit of a more expensive and 'Posh' than most of your bog standard sliced bread, but when I was growing up in North Wales in the 70's sourdough bread was just our normal bread we bought from the local baker everyday, as did everyone else, it was just our normal down to earth, cheap everyday bread at the time.
Also, I've been subscribed to you guys for ages and have all notifications turned on, but none of your videos have shown up in my feed for about 2 months now, if I want to watch you I have to do a search specifically for your channel.
That looks like gammon to me to.
The war of HP V Ketchup. Good luck which one do you like. 😂😂😂
I prefer my bacon without sauce, especially not brown.
@@elemar5 that is thing with bacon delicious so many ways, I am hungry now.
Of course then you get more contenders - (a small amount of) English Mustard or HP Fruity Sauce. They're all good 🥰 Definitely one of the treats I miss (a little) as a vegan - spicy veggie burgers with lashings of HP sauce are nice but ... then there's the real McCoy.
red with bacon, brown with bangers
I like my bacon butty with ‘Reggae Reggae’ sauce 🤪
Bread (not the sweetened US kind), butter, salted back bacon, a sunny-side-up fried egg (with a runny yolk) and HP Fruity sauce is a taste sensation you should give a go.
Go for the full combo! Bacon, sausage and fried egg butty! 😋
Useful tip for any expat Brits struggling to find brown sauce in their corner of Johnny Foreigner land - you can make a passable substitute with 3-parts ketchup to 1-part Worcestershire Sauce.
I use dry cured bacon ,mainly back ,so you get proper dip and not water injected white gunk.
I only buy dry cure tastes like bacon used to all taste before they started injecting it with the brine
Try middle if you can get it it is like back and streaky bacon combined.
@@vladd6787 It use to be quite popular but I haven't seen that since I had a Saturday job in a butchers in the seventies. Probably I just haven't looked properly?
@@johnp8131 I used to get it in Tesco, haven't seen it in months though.
Sourdough bread is okay you need white sliced bread 🍞 for a bacon buttty. Those bacon pieces look nice though 😋
Ergh! sourdough is like cardboard!
@@AndrewAHayesit's okay but they need council house white sliced loaf
@@chucky2316 I think their white bread would ruin it as I've tried it and it's too sweet.
The tamarind hit and the ability to shine brass coins is one of the wonders of HP sauce.
I was going to say if Lindsay has any copper she needs to polish, to use the sauce. 🤣
Butter on the bread with the bacon is what makes it. I also sometimes toast the bread , butter add bacon and bbq sauce
bacon - extra mature cheddar cheese - HP sauce - farmhouse bread = delicious
A lot of brits don’t know this but hp stands for Houses of Parliament which is why their is a picture of it on the bottle
I’ll change my statement to some brits don’t know😂😂😂most people I’ve asked didn’t have a clue
Yes HP sauce is dominant these days, but Daddies brown sauce was also popular when I was young, (although I haven’t seen it for many years).
I didnt know that! 👍🏻
Yes we do FFS!!!🤦 🇬🇧
Most British know this mate not a clever thing to say
How could you not know this if you are a Brit?? Don't they teach anything in schools anymore?
The bread used makes a difference too. US bread tends to be sweet as it contains a lot of sugar, whereas UK bread does not contain sugar. The butter also should be lightly salted.
To be fair to them, that looks like an OK bread rather than something hyper processed.
@@petoperceptum If its not direct from a bakery then it has too much sugar in it.
Off the shelf supermarket bread defo has sugar in it
@@kevpage Correct... apart from Warburtons No Added Sugar Wholemeal. I've just double checked the ingredients list on the loaf I have in the freezer to make sure I'm not talking nonsense. 😆
The bread we use has no sugar in it!
British back bacon, black pudding and fried egg on a toasted sandwich with lots of HP sauce is my desert island food choice. With lots of tea obviously.....
At a rural breakfast for July 4th, I was dished up an enormous breakfast. Being a rural area and not a tourist spot, I was a ‘celebrity’ and people wanted to know why I wanted to visit their area.
What shocked me was their surprise when I refused to soak my plate with maple syrup!
Cant go wrong with a bacon butty and brown sauce 👍🏻✌🏻😂
I no longer live in the UK, but I go home next week. First thing I do is have a bacon butty. I cant wait!
I am so very relieved to see you used bacon and not bacon fat… I only use streaky bacon once a year to baste a turkey!! And of course it is the thrown away! I hope you enjoyed!
I use bacon medallions, theres no fat just the meat, i do like cheese and ketchup, and ofcourse the fried egg and bacon sandiwch yummm
Oh and we put everything between bread and butter lol
I used to love cheese toasties and just assumed that what you guys call a grilled cheese sandwich was the same thing. My girlfriend who is from Savannah made me a grilled cheese sandwich and it was awesome. We’ve both discovered new dishes and cooking styles that we enjoy now, that would have previously been unknown to us. There’s something strangely satisfying about watching people trying things you grew up with for the first time and hearing their reactions.
Yes Lindsay loves grilled cheese sandwiches! I agree, it's pretty cool seeing reactions to something for the first time that we personally have loved and known our whole lives. Appreciate you watching :)
I love cheese toasted! How does a grilled cheese sandwich differ?
ps guys HP sauce is no longer made in the UK. As usual with our premium brands, the company was bought out by one of the multi nationals. they moved production to Holland, and the y also changed thr recipe for cheaper ingredients.
Sour dough is awesome, I remove the fat from my bacon and prefer smoked than unsmoked bacon. I can eat it slightly cooked up to just before it goes too crispy. I never put sauce on it as I feel it detracts from the actual flavour of the bacon. I'll also do it on toast as well or some soft rolls (Baps) etc.
No cheese and generally we don't overcook the bacon, only until the fat crisps. HP sauce can go with anything, just put a dollop on the side of your plate an dip.
I remember going to the Omni Hotel in Atlanta GA. The Bell Boy was the funniest lad! He went up in the lift/elevator with us and our cases and there were other Americans in the lift. As soon as he heard my accent he started going; "got a bay-un but-ee"! (In an English accent).And repeating it. I was howling and he was giggling away as he said it. The other Americans didn't understand a word he said! By the time we got to our floor I said; "how do you KNOW the expression bacon butty"? He said he had served in the military with lots of English lads. "AHA!!" Penny dropped why he said it like that! Great fella, and he kept me entertained on the long journey up to our room. 😂
Heaven on a plate
Agreed
It is 😋
Overrated.
A full breakfast after a big sesh on the piss is the biggest hangover cure on the planet. Only the brits do it the best .
There are moments when I wish someone had invented 'smelly vision' . This is one of them!
At times, my brain has smellivision. If I see the bacon cooking I smell it, even though it's not cooking in my house. It happens the most when I see someone on TV light a cigarette. As an ex smoker (15yrs now), I get a second of smellivision and it's lovely.
@@hellsbells8689 I am clearly missing out on this special gift! I'm jealous. BTW congrats on being an ex-smoker for 15years. Impressive!
A1 sauce was a popular British table sauce (invented for George IV in 1824 ) HP sauce took over in popularity in 1884 and was served in the Houses of Parliament (hence HP) , they have very similar ingredients /flavour profiles.
I thought A1 was purely an American sauce.
@@macalauresmuse well it is now ☺️ I've never tried it (being from Britain, and not being over 200 years old 😂)
I like to roll a slice of bread around a pork sausage, and dip it in HP sauce before eating. 🙂
American bacon is defined from the belly pork. British bacon is from the loin to the belly. Usual bacon in the UK is 'back' bacon, the loin. Belly is 'streaky' bacon. British streaky is cut, usually thicker and because it tends to be brined, can piss a lot of water so better to crisp in the oven. Another bacon cut in the UK is 'middle'. Both the loin and belly in one cut. A1 sauce is a cousin of brown sauce...
