Bacon Butties
Not exactly. Duncan was talking about the official bacon buttie in his native land as a requirement for citizenship. It's made out of basically Canadian Bacon or a slice of pork chop and a couple slices of bread. In the US we have the egg McMuffin with egg, cheese, canadian bacon between the top and bottom of an English muffin. I mentioned I had a McMuffin maker. I got it as a gift from my daughter for a gift once. Here's a video that explains how it works.

Re: Bacon Butties
I have one of those McMuffin makers too. Like the guy in the video says, it works
great and makes a good sandwich. The part I like is you can use better stuff when you make
your own. I usually use good cheddar cheese and a precooked sausage patty. And as he said,
kind of a pain to clean if you are lazy like me. But it's easier to just make one on the stove and
use a toaster for the muffin.

Re: Bacon Butties
I haven't used mine in a while. I don't want one every day. So buy a $4 package of Canadian bacon and a $2 pack of English Muffins to start. Eggs and cheese are pretty regular stuff in the fridge so no loss. My wife isn't interested in one even if I make it for her. Then I make one sandwich and then the bacon and the muffins spoil from not thinking about doing it again for several weeks.....so I could go a half mile away to a McDonalds and buy one and come out cheaper.
Oh...looks like I spelled butty wrong.. sorry Duncan.

Re: Bacon Butties
So...looks like if you use an English muffin it's a banjo and if you use some kind of loaf slice white bread it's a butty. Which brings up another wild thought..... do the English call an English muffin an "English" muffin? It would seem that would be like calling a hot dog bun an "American" hot dog bun, which would seem an unnecessary adjective.

Re: Bacon Butties
The banjo can be made with any bread or roll, it's only a banjo when the egg yolk is "dangerous" ie soft n runny. If it spills down your shirt front you hold the sarnie away from your body and wipe the egg from your shirt, hence banjo.
Re: Bacon Butties
Ok, Joe. If you say so. I'm prepared to believe you. Which leads me to ask why the name "butty"? From a notion that that may be where the bacon comes from brought up this in a google search: “British Back Bacon” where a single slice/rasher includes meat from the loin and the belly....not the butt.
