Warbies toasty was just too big for my toaster. I googled the problem and many others have the same problem.

I have had several toasters that won;t take normal bread

How hard can it be to go to ASDA and measure all the loaves and make a toaster that they all fit

or - to be cynical - how much extra would it cost to make them???

anyway - when we bought the current one (and the one before) I took along a tape measure and checked before we bought it!!

In the past I have deliberately bought a 4 slide toaster which does 4 by having 2 very long slots so any length slice will fit easily

but it is a bit is a waste in energy!!

The bacon butty that Elvis favoured was called a Fool's Gold Loaf.
It's not quite my cup of tea.

Nor is it in any way shape or form a bacon butty.

Ok if it's a butty:-

• 2 slices of cheap white bread. I tend to prefer a Kingsmill
• Butter the bread liberally
• 4 slices dry cure back bacon. I quite prefer Oak Smoked these days, but unsmoked is also acceptable as long as it's dry cure. Medallions are no good - they tend to have an absence of flavour due to the lack of fat,
• Grill the back bacon - or fry (no oil, the bacon will provide its own). The fat should be cooked and very slightly crisp. If frying, this may require some side work.
• Place the bacon on one side of the sandwich overlapping each tail with a medallion.
• Place the other slice of buttered bread on top.
• Taste heaven. Use a dollop of ketchup on the plate as a dipper if needed.

I also like the same in a baguette - a 4 inch segment, preferably of a fresh baguette with a bit of crispness.

It's enclosed by bread and contains a pound of bacon. OK, it's been defiled by jelly and peanut butter but it is some kind of BB isn't it?

Nice!

But I'd go for Thick white 🥪 , two or 3 layers of 🥓 🥓 🥓 and HP sauce.

A bacon press when frying keeps the rashers nice and flat and helps crisp the fat.

It's a flippin loaf cut in half, defiled and degraded. Oh the humanity. Plus it's American so the bacon will be rubbish.

Plus - bacon butty = about 450 calories
Fools gold loaf = about 8000 calories. It cost Elvis the equivalent of $267

Yes, North American bacon is pretty pitiful.

Yep. Truly dreadful.

I suppose, as the OP? I should fess up.
We are in Canada for Xmas doting on 7 week old first grand kid so will be missing out on this year's Xmas 🥓 Butty.

What the Canadians call bacon is beyond abomination.

Almost every imaginable cuisine is here in BC, I had fantastic Ramen and Sushi the other night, world class Pho last night, best EVER Scotch egg in Gastown a few days ago. But they simply do not understand British Bacon.

Twas tasty this morning

I thought they had the same bacon as us? (Hence muricans calling back bacon "Canadian bacon")?

Canadian Bacon is cured loin with no fat.
More like ham
