I hate S&V on chips, and I can't stand mint sauce. Biscuits for cheese tend to fairly bland on their own and add little or nothing to the taste; it's more about texture. Nothing wrong with spicy sauces in general but, in the context of this thread, masking (or complimenting) the flavour of a bacon butty is just wrong. In my personal opinion, of course.

Fair play. I guess it's just I've never really liked adding anything to my food. I always found adding a sauce, salt, vinegar or whatever, to a meal tended to overbear on the food itself. I'm odd like that. Incidentally, I don't like mint or apple sauce, either.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Some of these combinations sound rather bourgeois...

I must agree with El cubo. A bacon sandwich should be bread, bacon and possibly your preferred condiment. Onion? Lettuce? Cucumber? These things are simply not cricket.

You're no longer talking about a bacon sandwich if you add such ingredients, no matter how nice the final result is, and those mushrooms do sound luscious.

It's a bacon and something sandwich.

For the sake of completeness I feel we need a "no bread" option if the "no sauce" brigade get a say!
Normally (white | brown) bread and brown sauce. Tomato ketchup is the work of satan. Occasionally mustard, or mayo. Sometimes BBQ.

No grilling is  - if you grill you loose all of the fat and its the fat that has most of the taste

I prefer the drier texture of grilled bacon though, i get enough grease in my diet, and it's easier to get the bacon dead dead crispy. Ant'ny, can you make Denise's bacon dead dead crispy?

If you deep fry the bacon in very hot lard, it's easy to guarantee the crispiness. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

I've tried triple cooked bacon when I worked in a pub - on the hot plate, then under the grill, then into the fryer to finish.
I can report that whilst an interesting method of cooking, it's clear to see why it hasn't caught on.

Is that the Scottish method of cooking bacon? That explains the state of the bacon they serve offshore.

Are red and brown sauces not 'something' then?
