The BLT has been crowned the UK’s favourite sandwich for 2024 in a recent poll, with 28% of respondents saying they were a fan.

The combination of bacon, lettuce and tomato between slices of bread can be traced back to an entry in Good Housekeeping Everyday cookbook in 1903.

My Dad's favourite butty was a banana sarnie - just bread and lashings of butter.

A wise man.

One slice, wrapping the banana like a hot dog bun.

Errr, you're losing me a bit there - are we still in sandwich territory with this version? It's like a weird sausage roll now.

It has bread on both sides, so...

And that, despite what the ‘merkins might tell you, is essential for a sandwich. There’s no such thing as an open sandwich. That’s just stuff on a bit of bread.

That's why cheese and/or beans on toast is a different beast to a cheese and/or bean toasted sandwich.
