<sigh>, I heart u DGCR.
OK, most important point in the thread:
Besides the tomato chosen, the most important factor is the bacon itself. HAS to be about medium-well. Done enough to have a little snap, and not be fatty and pull out of the sandwich, but not so done that it's hard and brittle. Critical.
A few of the responses here have inspired me to propose to the DGCR BOD a new emoticon. Just to spitball a couple of design concepts:
Brother, my concerns are the same. The definition of perfect cooked bacon (for a blt) is up for discussion and we gotta take that into consideration. Personally I do agree that medium-well cooked bacon, crunchy yet supple, much like the iceberg lettuce of which a perfect blt would have imo, is the way to go. But if we're talking perfection, we gotta consider the disagreements, cuz stuff like this is only dependent on a definition that others care about. Ya figure?
Here's my thought, which can change:
- white bread, lightly toasted and cooled
- standard mayo (full fat)
- iceberg lettuce, thin single leaf (didn't think Boston had enough crunch)
- bacon(plain), multiple thin cut, medium well cooked
- ugly tomatoes (uglier, the better)
It goes bread, mayo, tomatoes, bacon, lettuce bread. Always cut diagonally.
Here's the problem though. This creation cannot be consumed by all my human brethren. Thusly at best, we are only defining a perfect blt, one which can have a myriad of disagreements and variation.
Ok, now replace the above as such:
- men dgers=those that cant consume pig
- blt=women dg apparel
- perfect blt=professional women dg apparel
As I see it, some lady brought in some garlic aioli (tennis dress) into the pdga cafeteria. After embarassing the patroness who turned out to be a chef, Pdga got wooed by the 3 syllabled word and now theyre serving garlic aioli on the side with their 'perfect blt'.
