What kind of bread is eaten in So Cal...I've never there ! In fact I've never been much farther West than Lockhart , Texas. We get white bread with our BBQ there but I don't remember the brand.
Could have been Wonder Bread.

I'm sure tired of those tomato substitutes that fill the store bins. Looking forward to a real red dirt home grown tomato sandwiches. I just bought 2 lbs of thick sliced bacon and a jar of DUKES. I'll get the lettuce and tomatoes out of the garden.

BTW I noticed Roses had 12" plants at 6/$1. on Friday.

I had to stop buying store bought tomatoes ...they look so good , I would get my hopes up...and then they are so tasteless ... Big let down. Same way with peaches ...picked green , shipped and tasteless , every time .
Maybe it's just me but tomatoes seem to taste better if you can let them turn a nice shade of red while still on the bush.

Have gotten some wonderful peaches in Texas , picked them right off the trees...ripe and juicy , now them's fit for eating !

Put some Green Tomatos in a drawer with a Banana Skin it helps ripening.I have plenty of Flowers on my Toms but no fruit yet.Soon be time to start feeding them when they get little green Toms.I have 10 Moneymaker and 3 Red Cherry Plants in the Greenhouse all nice healthy plants,I have a load outdoors as well.I always set the full packets of seeds and give away those I don't need.My lettuce are doing well (Webbs Wonderful)so I have here two of the ingredients for BLTs.I might try a few sliced radishes in the Bacon Butties as well to give them a bit of crunch.

Just finished one! Two toasted 10 grain slices of bread, huge glops of REAL mayo (not that MiracleWhip grabage my wife eats!), 5 “sloppy” pieces of REAL thick hickory-smoked bacon, red leaf lettuce, and 2 big thick slices of a perfectly ripe red ‘mater.

Can’t beat that on a hot Az night for dinner!

Toast bread , plain bread or does it really make any difference ?

Toasted gives that unqiue crunchy mouth feel I expect with a BLT. My grandmother made them that way. My mom made them that. And I make them that way. I do not like soft squishy white bread BLT’s! It’s like putting ketchup and mustard on a piece of medium rare perfectly cooked ribeye steak! It just doesn’t work for me.

But eat what you want.

Family traditions are important our Grandmothers knew some stuff.

I like them either way but slightly prefer toast bread , if you have real juicy tomatoes , the soft untoasted bread gets juice logged and you need to stand over the sink and eat fast before things start falling apart...but sink BLT's are good too , just different.

My next experiment is going to be BLT with Pimento Cheese....might just start my own tradition !
