Classics are classics for a reason.

The BLT has been crowned the UK’s favourite sandwich for 2024 in a recent poll, with 28% of respondents saying they were a fan.

The combination of bacon, lettuce and tomato between slices of bread can be traced back to an entry in Good Housekeeping Everyday cookbook in 1903.

    Was this just polled on fillings available in meal deals? Like, where is jam?

      I wonder if the sad truth is, that’s how a lot of butties are consumed these days, as you might imagine the simple classic, the bacon butty, would rank higher.

        I honestly don’t think that’s it. I think something screwy happened with this poll, but I can’t find it to verify. Seems Hovis only released this to the press.

            Yes! We need to uncover the truth Big Bread is hiding from us!

                I’m excited to see this. I also got the feeling it was a loaded question because there a a ton of classics not represented: bacon butties, chip butties, cheese and onion, ham and mustard, sausage, baked bean toasties, cucumber, jam, peanut butter. I guess they could be lower ranking but I doubt that about the first few at least.
