I'm a brown sauce man myself. White bread and butter, crispy bacon and HP sauce.

OR

White bread and butter, crispy bacon and fresh tomatoes.

YUM.

I lived in Switzerland for a while - they didn't have any bacon butties there. It's amazing how one can be permanently psychology scarred just knowing that the nearest bb is 500 miles away.

the yanks wont get that you muppet. the word french fries doesnt even apply either

well, for our unfortunate american cousins, who have never experienced the fine gourmet cuisine of england, chips are big wedges of potato dripping in fat and deep fried, served in wrapped newspaper, then covered in about 5 grams of salt and a pint of vinegar and some ketchup, goes well with fish. about 5000 calories per portion, yum!!!

yum, HP. and when i travel i always take BRITISH bread and bacon with me, because the stuff they sell in europe or the states as bread tastes like uttter crap lol, especially germany!! what do they eat for breakfast out there?!?!?!?!

personally, my favourite BB is toasted, then fried bread, on both sides, then covered in butter, lots of bacon, some crispy some really pink, topped with tomatoes, and then either ketchup or HP sauce served with nice hot homemade chips:cool:

I forgot that yanks speak a foreign language.

Curses!

I also forgot to mention that our Northern Neighbours like it served with 16 cans of industrial strength lager - so I've heard, anyway.

You know I've visited quite a few times but somehow I have always missed the bacon buttie.

I don't even remember seeing it on a menu board. It was probably there but I never noticed it.

Next trip I will definitely look one up with a suitable ale and see what I think.

There was a great fish and chips place not far from Mildenhall that we all supported.

Used to get some excellent Beef Wellington with all the trimmings at the Bell Hotel in Mildenhall too.

I forget who said it, but I love the quote:

The English and the Americans are one people separated by a common language.

BTW they are french fries because they are "french cut" -- least that is what I have been told. Besides, don't you know they are "Freedom Fries" now since the French opposed the Iraq war?

Nah, I don't buy it either. "Liberty Cabbage" instead of Sauar Kraut didn't last beyond WWI. "Freedom Fries" lasted about 8 seconds before the laughter started.

Bacon butties are an English delicacy - especially if it's Danish Bacon. Like Chinese take-away and Indian take-away.

... hmmmm ...

MacDonalds at Heathrow? American take-away? ... ... Nah! Small slices of cardboard in a pap-bap of air while watching planes that look the same simply going up and coming down - from a great distance.

I shall email the folks at Duxford and see if they have any bacon butties planned.

Actually - Duxford and AH have a lot in common. It'd be nice to have a little AH tent at the show and then kidnap passers-by and let them play AH - get them hooked. Maybe for a small fee ... ... might subsidise the drinks bill somewhat too.

Must be worth something to someone - hint hint.

I will be at Flying Legends...............

I did the Gold pass thing a couple of years back when I took my father......

I think its value is questionable................. main benefit is a big marque to hide in if it rains................... seating out side is "compact".... meal is a set buffet and there are not enough table seats for one sitting flightline pass can be bought on the day separately.

I usually go by bike to avoid queues and buy a folding chair for £10 (or cheaper) then set up camp on the lawn infront of the burger/bar area.

Discarding the chair at the end of the event.

There is/was a UK mail bot for AH'ers that was run by the Kraits (it was originally set up for Airwarrior) which tended to pull all UK based squads togther and for many years became the organising focus for UK conventions.

The three main squads involved (Kraits, Firebirds, Wings of Death) are sadly now very depleted in numbers or playing elsewhere and the mailbot hardly used.

http://www.airwar.org.uk

UK conventions were run between 97 and 2003 with upto 40/50 attendees and after dinner talks given by ex spit/hurricane/lanc pilots and aircrew with as many as 25/30 PC's networked.
