The BLT is the best sandwich, it is the perfect combination.

IMO the mayonnaise makes the sandwich. It balances the saltiness of bacon, while marrying the feather-light garnishes of lettuce and tomato together with the bread.

If you've had a BLT without mayo before, you'll know what I mean.

Now really, these sort of statements need to be phrased correctly. For example:

>What is the best sandwich, and why is it the BLT?
or, alternatively
>Name a better sandwich than the BLT. Protip: You can't.

When you outright say what you mean without the usual hint of condescension, I get the impression I may be communicating with an adult. And it just won't stand on this website.

Bacon is a garnish, not a primary protein. Lettuce and tomato are just filler.

BLTs barely qualify as a sandwich tbh. There are so many other ones that are better.

Clubs, Rubens, you name it. Hell, I'd take a tuna sandwich over a BLT.

Best BLT

>Honey oat bread, toasted for a bit on both sides then used bagel setting to toast one side more
>Spread both toasty sides with mayo, enough that it still looks white instead of melted/see-through but not so much you can't see the hint of the bread through it
>4-5 slices of bacon, not so little that it's its just a single layer but not a crazy amount either, cooked almost to crispy and set aside, so you still get some pockets of softer fat, laid lengthways against the bottom slice of bread for one layer and the other laid diagonally if you are going to cut it in half lengthways, or lengthways if you are going to cut it diagonally, to prevent slippage
>a few slices of beefsteak tomatoes, enough to equal the thickness of the bacon, with salt and fresh cracked pepper, laid against the bacon
>Finally a layer of lettuce equal to the bacon and tomato layers, with one half being iceberg lettuce and the other half being mesclun mix, put some of the iceberg against the tomato, all the mesclun, then the rest of the iceberg on top, to prevent the heat of the bacon or the toast from wilting the more fragile mix.
>Finally the last piece of toast

Very well articulated anon, now I'm in the mood for a BLT. Honey oat bread sounds lovely.

Only slight variation mine would have is that instead of plain mayo, I usually whip up a lemon and garlic aioli with mayo subbed in for egg yolk. Pairs nicely with peppered bacon.

I've always liked using Honey Wheat or a bread similar for BLTs, the slight sweetness of the bread really compliments the sandwich. Your BLT sounds delicious.

On a scale of ingredients vs. taste I'd be inclined to agree with you, but a club or a reuben has the BLT beat overall.

Like you heat the meat first to remove excess moisture from the corned beef first, then assemble sandwich with well drained sauerkraut and toast in the pan with butter until the center of the bread is slightly browned and is otherwise golden on both sides good. Must also be served on a good flavorful rye bread. Some place served me a "Reuben" on white bread once.

The BLT and the Club both have a great balance of contrasting elements: fresh and cured, crunchy and soft, wet and dry.

I'm of the opinion that all great sandwiches have a similar balance of contrasting elements. Some others that are on the same level include:

Italian cold cut hoagie
Banh mi
Reuben
Torta
Cuban sandwich
Coney dog (chili dog with mustard and raw onion)
Hatch chili cheeseburger
Catfish/oyster Po' Boy
Muffalatta
Bagel with cream cheese, lox, capers and onion
Philly roast pork sandwich with broccoli rabe
Gyro/Adana kebab sandwich
Falafel sandwich
Pulled pork with coleslaw

All of these achieve greatness by balancing contrasting elements. That's what sets them apart. More simple sandwiches, like ham and cheese or pastrami on rye can be equally amazing, but only when made with the best quality ingredients.
