I'm one of those freaks who's picky about their sandwich.... I LOVE a good BLT. LOVE it. I haven't had one in ages because I don't have bacon in the house.My ideal BLT: thick-cut peppercorn baccon.
They don't sell this stuff in packages, you have to find a grocery with a good butcher and have it cut for you. Typically I like it best left over from breakfast; that way it's already been cooked in the oven and is nice and crispy, and I just have to heat it back up. Bacon in the microwave will do in a pinch, but it's not as good.
I only need enough to cover the tp of the sandwich; if it's a good bacon, 3 slices will do fine. I don't stack my baccon. Iceburg lettuce.
I know it's not as good for you, but I just love the extra crisp. A good BLT is all about texture. I typically pile it on rather thick; probably a couple pieces at least.
Because it's not as good for me, I'm less likely to have it around and I normally settle for something greener. Tomato I also have to have cut thin. Which means when I'm home IO make my mother do it for me, because tomato cutting is a skill I never really picked up.
Bread has to be white bread! Toasted so it's just golden-brown. Once it gets too toasty it's too much!
The sandwich needs to be put together with the mayo touching the bacon, the lettuce touching the the bacon, the tomato under the lettuce. And it has to be cut across the bacon once, then eaten with the tomato side up. I normally don't drink with my meals, but I love a glass of water after to wash them down.
I hear your toaster's broken? Butter the outside of each piece of bread and put them in a skillet, like you would for grilled cheese. Less healthy than toast, but quite yummy.
Speaking of grilled cheese, my other favorite sandwich is grilled cheese by a landslide. (my brother was always the big fluffernutter fan). Perfect grilled cheese: Thick-cut sourdough bread, buttered on the outside, but a spread liek margerine or benicol works better because you can make sure the whole piece is covered pretty thick.
You can also use Italian bread in a pinch, but the sourdough has a much better taste Provalone cheese and sandwich style pepperoni. The cheese has to touch each side of the sandwich at least around the edges, so you have to scooch the meat so it's a bit toward the middle, and typically use two slices of cheese. The pepperoni doesn't have to be thick, just enough to have a layer between the cheese A thin slice of tomato.
This is the really great part. Just a little bit of tomato hiding out on the inside. Assemble sandwich, pan-fry until golden brown on both sides, and serve cut into quarters with a side of red salsa to dip it in.
Yummy!

Here's what my dad does: He makes it in the traditional way (he gets his bacon from an actual BUTCHER, not pre-packaged from walmart...imagine! ) , but instead of putting the usual condiments I’ve seen people put on it, he dishes out some bleu cheese dressing (the good stuff, in the jar, NOT the plastic bottle) with a butter knife and applies liberally. I can only describe with one word: YUMMY!
He likes white bread, but I prefer the 7-grain whole wheat. Lightly toasted, of course, so it doesn't come apart as soon as you add the dressing. He usually eats it with the KC Masterpiece barbecue flavored chips, and since a BLT is more of a summer thing for him, he usually enjoys it with a tall glass of iced sweet tea.

I bought ingredients for BLTs at the store this week! I don't add anything to the bacon because I don't really like it sweet. I cook it in a skillet until is slightly crisp, but not crunchy.
I buy thick-cut bacon, and I like it still a little chewy. I toast the bread, using a whole grain honey wheat bread. I put only the thinnest layer of mayo on one slice.
I usually put 3 slices of bacon on a sandwich with 2 or 3 thinly sliced tomatoes and one leaf of Romaine lettuce - no iceberg here. I usually eat it with Kettle Cooked chips or sometimes mac and cheese. I always drink sweet iced tea with it.My favorite sandwich is your basic PB&J.
Low sugar peanut butter on the same wheat bread with grape jelly. Nothing fancy but so yummy!.
Drools* Oh, BLT’s are so tasty. The best sandwich, I think. For bread, I like a nice whole-wheat or multi-grain, toasted very lightly.
Crust on, it doesn’t bother me to eat crust. For mine, I always hunt through the whole stack of bacon packages at the store, looking through the little clear window in the back to find the package that has the most meat and the least fat. I like the bacon salty and meaty-tasting, not sweet, so I just fry it up regular in a pan.
Gotta watch it carefully to get the point where the bacon is crisp but not burned. I like to load up the bacon on the sandwich, usually using 3-4 strips per sandwich, cutting or tearing the strips in half so they fit on the bread and overlapping them. For tomatoes, sliced thick.
And an heirloom variety, like German Pinks, for their flavor. Fresh-picked from the garden, of course. I want tomato in every bite, so I arrange slices all across the top of the bacon, and even cut some slices into halves or wedges to fill up the gaps.
For lettuce, definitely not iceberg, it has little flavor. You can get the same crispness from Boston Bib or the bottom half of a Romain leaf, with much better taste. Enough lettuce for one layer over the tomatoes.
Miracle Whip, not Mayo. Mayo is more greasy, while Miracle Whip is more tangy. Already have the bacon grease on the sandwich, don’t need more, and the tang goes well with the tomatoes.
I can usually eat one and a half to two BLT sandwiches for a meal. I don’t make anything else to go along with them; it’s meat, veggies, and starch all in one package. And for some reason, I always associate the taste of BLTs with root beer to drink.
Probably because both were considered summertime foods when I was younger. (And if I can’t have a BLT, I guess I would settle for a nice ham sandwich, with swiss cheese and a spicy honey mustard on wheat or rye. Sorry, I've never even heard of Fluffernutters, much less have a recipe.) .
Bacon Lettuce and Tomato… Start with the bread. Our preference here is for homemade oatmeal bread, toasted. 1 1/3 cups water 3 TB olive oil 3 TB sugar q tsp salt 1/3 cup buttermilk powder (or you can make it with milk or buttermilk) 1 1/3 cups oatmeal 3 1/2 cups bread flour 2.5 tsp yeast 1 TB + 1 tsp vital gluten (optional, but it makes the loaf lighter and rise higher) Load in bread machine according to the instructions, use dough cycle.
Bake at 350 for 55 minutes in a standard loaf pan. Then the tomatoes. As far as I am concerned, there is simply NO POINT to making a BLT in the winter.
The tomatoes available here in winter are simply not worthy of the name, and the best BTL’s have a thick lice of a dead-ripe, locally grown tomato—preferably one you just pulled from the vine and is still warm from the sun. The bacon, too… I shop at a local country store, and they have a couple of varieties of locally cured, thick sliced bacon—some varieties are hickory-smoked, other are maple-sugar or honey-cured. I prefer the hickory smoked for a BLT, myself, but am open to experimentation.At least 4 to 5 slices please!
This is usually a fairly substantial loaf of bread—sometimes it can take as many as 6 slices. I NEVER use iceberg lettuce, which really only has its ability to travel to recommend it. For a BLT, I prefer butter lettuce, or green or red leaf in a pinch.
Mayo only please, on mine, BUT I want cheese on my BLT’s. This is far from standard, but feta cheese spread through the mayo is to die for. Cook the bacon.
Toast the bread under the broiler, then add the bacon, mayo and feta—slide it back under the broiler until the feta browns. Add the tomato and lettuce. Serve with a tall glass of chocolate milk (I’m drinking soy milk these days, very happily) with Martin’s hard-cooked potato chips on the side.
I’ll take two, but I’ll be sorry, later. I LOVE BLT’s… But we don’t do them very often! As far as I am concerned, fluffernutters do not exist.
My nutter preference would please Mr_M… Good bread, toasted (use that loaf recipe at the top of the answer), Zimmer’s All Natural peanut butter, mayonnaise, and sliced banana. EXCELLENT! And I can’t get ANYONE to try it!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
