Author: Sandwich of the week is BLT
BLT (Bacon, lettuce and tomato) is an old classic. Rumoured to have been of invented in Victorian times as a ‘tea sandwich’ the BLT became more popular after the 2nd World War with the increased popularity of the Supermarket. The growth of the supermarket made the ingredients of the BLT more accessible all year round. The shorthand abbreviation is most likely to be an Americanism.
Classically the BLT is a couple of slices of bacon (crispy), lettuce leaves, slices of tomatoes usually with mayonnaise to accompany. It is usually served on toasted bread. In cook books in the 1930s and 50s is shown as being served with cheese also.
It is listed as being one of the most popular sandwiches in the USA, coming 2nd to the ham sandwich.
Watch out though because the BLT packs a whopping 550 calories(approximately)!
