I feel like the recipe for a BLT sandwich is captured pretty well just by its own name haha

You might feel like that but… what kind of lettuce? What breed of tomatoes? What cut of bacon: back, middle, or streaky? Smoked or unsmoked? Fried, grilled, or baked? What kind of bread? Any butter? Mayonnaise? Salad cream? Any salt and pepper? If pepper, black or white?

A great BLT is a thing of utter joy, easily and deservedly one of the best sarnies in the world. But the details matter.

There's crisps and a massive gherkin too. We don't even know what flavour of crisps they are. Was the thickness of the slices of tomato a deliberate choice? So many questions.
