Beef With Bacon

Things have been mighty quiet around here lately, so I figured it was time to complain about bacon. Americans seem to have a problem with bacon. They hide the fact that bacon is part of a normal American diet (and no, I do not respect vegetarians nor their preferences for vegetables).

A prime example is the BLT. Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato. Pretty straightforward, right? Well, why not call it a bacon sandwich? If you have turkey, lettuce and tomato you don't order a TLT. So why order a BLT? Order a bacon sandwich.

And then there's the club sandwich. Which is really just a sandwich with bacon. A turkey club, for example, is a big turkey sandwich with bacon. We need to be honest with ourselves.
