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.

I wonder if the sad truth is, that's how a lot of butties are consumed these days, as you might imagine the simple classic, the bacon butty, would rank higher.

I honestly don't think that's it. I think something screwy happened with this poll, but I can't find it to verify. Seems Hovis only released this to the press.

Do we need our own poll?

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 5 points 6 months ago

Yes! We need to uncover the truth Big Bread is hiding from us!

Bastards! I'm on it!

I'm excited to see this. I also got the feeling it was a loaded question because there a a ton of classics not represented: bacon butties, chip butties, cheese and onion, ham and mustard, sausage, baked bean toasties, cucumber, jam, peanut butter. I guess they could be lower ranking but I doubt that about the first few at least.

Misread your list and wondered deeply at 'cucumber jam'. Not prepared to try it on the off-chance, mind you.

Sugar butties.
