I have to say my favorite sandwich with a tomato (though BLT is a very close second) is tomato, Kraft mayo, and braunschweiger (which is approximately liverwurst, but braunschweiger sounds more hip

) on white potato bread. And it needs something crunchy on the side, like pickled hot peppers or salt&vinegar chips. And a dark beer. And a foot massage.

Aaaaah.

I love braunschweiger and tomato sandwiches with mayo better than BLT s its too bad more folks wont get into braunschweiger.

I prefer a mater/mater sandwich. Three slices of tomato, with salt in between, over the sink, doing the "lean in so when you drip down to your elbows you don't drip on the floor" dance.

Only mater sammich in the world. Although I will switch up from time to time.

That looks so good I might even pretend it's Miracle Whip...

I bet the pepper on that sandwich came from a battery powered pepper mill he always carries in his pocket.

All I know is that last year I sliced a German Red Strawberry and put it on a BLT. IT was by far that best BLT I had ever had. Ever since then, I have only used GRS tomatoes on BLTs. Everyone who has tried them agrees. Don't know why...but wow it made a huge difference in flavor.

Here's how I make mine:
3 slices of 12 grain bread-I like Brownberry
John Morrell Smokey Maple Bacon-about 5 slices
Large thick sliced juicy maters
Lettuce is optional
Mayo
Lightly toast the bread and slather the mayo on all slices, with the middle bread having mayo on both sides. Bacon on one deck of the sandwich, and mater/lettuce in the other deck. Cut on the diagonal. Make sure you have enough tomato on there for the juice to run down your arms when you bite into it. Sop up any juice that drips onto the plate with your sandwich.
It's January. My mouth is watering already...

Had supper at a bar and grill on the way home Sunday evening. They had a Big A** BLT on the menu. one pound of bacon, 6 slices of real (no store bought here) tomato, lettuce and mayo on a 9 inch roll.
Didn't order it as it is winter and even though they claim to use real tomatoes, I didn't believe it.
After I ate my sandwich, I think they may be telling the truth. Wished I would have ordered it. Won't be going that way again for a while.... maybe I'll need to make a special trip.

jungseed · February 3, 2009

Come to think of it....there isn't anything wrong with driving almost 2 hours to check out a maybe great BLT is there?

newatthiskat · February 3, 2009

Ok Barbee - Uncle! Even with my belly burning from NSAIDS (thank God the knee has responded b/c the gut is done) I WANT THAT SAMMICH RIGHT NOW! :LOL:

Toasted wheat bread
Thick slice of a ripe Sudduth Brandywine
Hellman's mayo
Just a couple of pieces of crisp Bar-S bacon (NO MAPLE bacon please)
and a slice of Vidalia onion

I call it a BLOT
