I like an overeasy egg on mine with the yoke of the running in to that lovely toasted bread.

Great video! A true British classic, and well portrayed in this clip; LOVED it... Thank you 🙏🏻
Top channel mate. I was down Walthamstow market last week and the original manzes pie and mash shop was open and just like it was 40 years ago, if you’re up that way I recommend. Keep it up mate you’re a natural k
I grew up in Finchley in the 60's,my mate Steve lived and worked with his mum and dad in the "Hillside Cafe" on Hermitage Lane
Hmmm the amount of bacon and egg sangas or fry ups I had there I couldn't say but have loved them ever since,and yes HP was the sauce of choice back then,oh happy days

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
I'm a Brit living in Portugal and I've recently discovered your videos ,I think they are great especially the London views. I lived 10 year's from1962 till 72 worked at William Whiteleys Queensway bayswater .I wish you would do a video of that part of London . l know Whiteley's is not a store anymore ,but I would love to see Queensway I hope it's not changed to much. I'm on a nostalgia trip . Keep up the good work . Thank You 😎😁
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Simply amazing Robert. I love the windows's background as well :)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
Made me feel hungry. I never thought of mixing streaky and back bacon together. Will give it a try. Looked amazing.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video - yeah the double bacon is good
i watch your vids late at night always make me hungry mate
Hi Robert that's what I miss about London the great food!
Love your bacon sandwiches,we have HP sauce in Canada and my kids dip their grilled cheese sandwiches in it.😊🇨🇦
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
My Friend,You may go down in history,Making a double bacon Sandwich.You are my hero.To fry bacon,and put it on toast,is huge,but you went a step further and did a bacon double??My mind is racing,thinking what would have happened,if you had put a fried egg,on your bacon double sandwich????HP sauce,no one has ever done that before????Amazing.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
I've never tried streaky bacon but I love English back unsmoked bacon! Xx
Love the cooking videos! Now I've got to go see if I have any bacon.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
Yes, please!
Here in the States, we have Worcestershire sauce. It's a hard flavor to describe, but I think your description nailed it. I've never had HP before though and am intrigued to try it when I finally get over to the UK.
The double bacon time-lapse was cool to see and hypnotic. ;)
Thanks for breakfast!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
Worcestershire sauce,comes from England,Americans did not invent it,HP sauce can be bought at a lot of places in America,Are you really that stupid,Yes you are,typical American,that has no clue about the rest of the world,just sayin'
Pete Smith she never said it was invented in usa
First of all, Pete Smith is beneath contempt!
Was just going to say that Worcestershire sauce is basically anchovies for flavour. Delicious with cheese on toast but you need a decent block of cheese and always grate (shred?). Avoid processed slices with the Lea and Perrins!!*
*Hope that lazy stereotype is not too offensive! :)
@alanrtment porter You are absolutely correct, but Lea & Perrins has a plant in New Jersey to make the grand old stuff for America. It's available everywhere in the US. We also have A1 Sauce, in identical square bottles, but I don't know if it's the same as HP sauce.
These videos make me reach for my pan...used to use oil now use butter tastes so much better....
The closest equivalent to HP sauce in America is A1 steak sauce.
Different supermarkets sell HP Sauce. In the northeast, Wegman's sells it
Excellent, I have a Wegmans by me. I think I'll pick some up.
S Al I love A steak sauce! Thanks I was curious about HP sauce. A is really tangy. I'm going to have a bacon, ham and sourdough sandwich with A and pretend I'm in England!! :)
I was about to post the same thing, There used to be a Fresh and Easy just down the road from me here in So Cal and I used to always get the HP sauce , well F&E is gone, so unless I get it online, I get some A-1
You can get HP in the states but u hve to pay for it
Excellent again, Robert. Here in the U.S., HP is almost like A1 steak sauce. Your breakfast makes my apple cider donut breakfast with OJ and cantaloupe look rather skimpy.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
ooh yes, Mr R, you are my kind of people. None of you faffy green clean stuff here, just a good quality sarnie with both red and brown sauce. Just yes. That's all I can say! Really craving a bacon sarnie now!
Nope - full fat sandwiches
This looks good. A nice touch with the Worcestershire sauce. But I'll take an American BLT any day!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
merci pour la recette !
hope you are well 11/10/21. thanks for your great content.
It looks so delicious!! and I subscribed u
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
I approve of your food policy thus far. Farmers markets organic local artisan best for getting real food worth eating that doesnt need much doing to it.
Ketchup and Worcestershire on a bacon sandwich? I don't know about that. I think I would love the bacon with just the buttered bread.
I'll take the HP sarnie Barry. Well done, looks delish..
You are probably right. I need to use both types of bacon in sandwich as either back bacon or just streaky is limiting.
I am vegetarian but I can smell bacons from your kitchen. Yumms
Always great videos :) I now need bacon in my life 😂
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
Great show...I’m really not sure about cooking the bacon in butter though or the fried slice idea....I would say..grill pan..no oil.....pan not too hot and a good quality white sliced bread say from M & S...some people don’t even toast the bread..
Top job
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
Hey Robert, you should do more food related vids out there in London !
Great Video !! I love bacon sarnies ! Here in California where I live , they do not sell British back bacon .I’ve checked every where and it’s NADA !?! Closest thing available is Canadian Bacon. Not quite the same thing but better than nothing! I never thought of combining the two different bacons or using Lea and Perrins. Thanks for the tip , I’ll definitely try!! I’m coming to London this summer and want to eat at on of the famous Cabmens Green Shelters and try their bacon butty. Have you tried them ? There’s 12 of the huts still open . Barry , could you please recommend the location of the Cabmen’s with the BEST food ? Also want to definitely want some fish and chips . Going to Poppies in Spitalfield. Can you recommend possibly one or two others? Thanks for all the wonderful videos. I love them all ! Lots of hard work involved making them!! Much appreciated! Major Anglophile here ! Long live England and her people!🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴👍
Yummy 🌹
Great vid. Thanks ;)
Do you also add stuff in such as tomato slices or pickles or other things ? Or is it strictly bacon ?
yes of coarse but double bacon is the key
Hey I just tried your recipe here. That HP sauce is really interesting. Thanks mate ;)
Great idea to mix the two bacon types in the same sandwich. I live in the United States so English bacon is virtually impossible to get. We can get something called "back bacon" in Canada, but it isn't the same. Nonetheless, I suppose I could make this with Canadian "back" or "peameal" bacon and streaky American bacon and that would be good in its own way.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
Great video. When I was in the UK seemed like British is not smoked like American bacon.
Looks like beautiful bread.
Have you ever tried Chef tomatoe ketchup made in Ireland? It beats Heinz any day of the week,their Daddy’s sauce ain’t bad either :) But the tomatoe sauce is amazing,zingy vinegary taste,you’d love it Man.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
Never been able to get decent sourdough in England. Too crusty and not sour enough. The Pantry in Downtown LA has the best sourdough I’ve ever had in my life
Great tip on using double bacon. Your vids are excellent. I just wish I could afford the lifestyle. Envy doesn't make for a great sauce. All the best.
I rather go less cholesterol but once in a blue moon is alrighty. Youre a food lover thats kind heart.
Always has to be thin cut streaky bacon slightly crispy but it must be grilled not fried. P.S. Use the whole packet for the sandwich
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
U making me hungry and all......oh Robert stop it lol cheeky
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
I think dry frying on a high heat taste nicer. Or under the grill.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
Probably not like a super chef would do it but its the way I would do it myself at home
Not quite the way we do it in Yorkshire. First of all we would use a 'bread-cake' (this same item of food has differing regional names in the U.K. e.g 'bap', 'barm', 'cob'), not sure how they are referred to in the States, is it a biscuit? Although sourdough sounds an interesting alternative. Ensure the bacon is 'dry cured' so no shrinkage and no white 'gunk' comes out when fried. Also we in the North would use only lard, and using scissors snip along the fat on the back bacon at regular intervals as then the bacon rasher lies flat in the pan and crisps evenly all over and doesn't curl up, this is because the fat and meat although cooking at the same time react differently to heat. Marks and Spencer brown sauce is a good alternative to HP, it's made in the UK and cheaper. But please, tea with a bacon sandwich, not coffee! End of the day it all comes down to personal preferences, but that's the way my Mum made bacon sandwiches at home when I was a kid, I thought they were perfection and loved 'em, still do. However I'll give using both types of bacon and sourdough a try though, you can never stop learning!
Everything you say is 100% true. Except the barm (Lancs). Toast! It has to be thickly sliced white bread lightly toasted. Daddies sauce isn't too bad either.
Lea & Perrins sauce has been available in Australia for years, as has HP.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
The wider bacon almost looks a bit like ham steak. Add lettuce and tomatoe too.
You know you can cook bacon in microwave covered with kitchen roll on top and bottom and it comes out crispy without the greasy mess of the skillet.

Looks like tenderloin looks. Heavenly.

In some parts of the UK, a sandwich is called a 'butty'..? Is that correct? Which part of the country would that be?
Usually Northern England
@@shebsaturner9737 Thanks! :)
@@Luna.3.3.3 no problem 👍
I've just recently moved to London from the states and had to buy some HP sauce and immediately was reminded if A-1 & Heinz 57 were to have a baby, that would be it.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
A-1?
Nice one!... would love some lettuces and tomatoes as add ones...just saying...hehehehe...
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
OMGOMGOMG you like beacon black like I do as welllllllllll!!!! Yassssss! Oh as for hp sauce? I have to take my gastro tablet before I enjoy my breaky with sauceeeee......

Robert I could have eaten my iPad watching that video Thanks
Thanks for commenting! Glad you enjoyed the video
Are these still referred to as a Bacon Butty?
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
Right.....coming to your for a fully English breaky
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
back bacon includes part of the pork loin and some pork belly . Streaky bacon is only pork belly.
Rob you support West Ham by any chance ?
Suggest you let your coffee ' bloom' for a few minutes. Stir in the french press. Then push down the plunger. You will get a much better product.
Or just have a decent cup of tea perhaps?
That bread is beautiful. Now go away, cause your making me hungry..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is a bit off subject but I think you would be a great dad because you could treat them to stuff like this 😂
Thanks for watching & commenting! Glad you liked the video.
Oh yes,never thought of frying the bread though
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
butter and pork fat together seems excessive to me. that crunch made my mouth water
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
HP = Heinz 57 steak sauce.
The one slice of streaky bacon wasn't cooked all the way.
Just eat the damn sandwich!!!!
I miss Chloe, and her sunny disposition.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
try adding sliced tomato, uncooked but no sauce, tomato adds acidity to balance up the fatty bacon.
Thanks for commenting! Glad you enjoyed the video
Has to be brown sauce on a bacon sarnie.
Best bread for this is Caribbean hard dough bread. Suhblime.
Fucking amazing!!!!!
To me the "E" Bacon is more of a fat ham taste. If you never had it before think of the fat part of a good bake ham. Hot juicy meat and fat that melts in your mouth... To me the "A" Bacon is the super smoke hyper taste pork belly. A good cured smoke bacon.... is heaven! The "E" bacon is like going to heaven. Both are good!
You tease you

Bacon, bread and brown sauce mate. Recipe not required.

I swear if he picked up that bacon rustling the wrappers and slapped it down on the table again I was going to lose control.......

I watched your fish and chips video here in NYC. Can you please do a video of the disappearing eel and ground pot pie locations?
Top tip, Putting ketchup and HP on best bacon is like dumping coke in a single malt whisky or eating mature steak well done.
Why cant he pronounce his !! Hs!! Properly hitch instead of itch
Cos I is a londoner! Who calls a child billy insted of William? A fuckwit!
ok i m off....ketchup...... no effin way
Turned off when he said microwave bacon
Really Sorry Mate??no fry tomato ??brown HP only ?? This is London 100%

I love your channel and I'll always be a subscriber. BUT. I'm still getting over the horror of you making coffee with a cafetiere (in your fry up video), where you plunged it within seconds of adding the boiling water to the coffee. As a ex barista, it haunts me and would have been a sin if we have sent out a cafetiere like it at work. Please, please, make sure it sits for at least 3-4 minutes before plunging, it makes all the difference and gives you the best cup of coffee. Anyway, hope this doesn't offend you but its been bugging me. All the best and keep the vlogs coming. Regards.
Holy sweet mother of god, i've just watched the rest of this video and you've done it again re the coffee! Ground coffee in. Boil kettle. Let water in kettle sit for 30 seconds before pouring into cafetiere (never pour boiling water into a cafetiere). Stir immediately and let sit for 3-4 minutes before plunging. I like to serve it on top of heat milk, which can be done in a pan or microwave. That's optional though. The other steps I hope you will follow! Kindest Regards

Travesty Mr Roberts. I just checked my bottle of HP Sauce, and it's made in the Netherlands. A grand, old British institution, is no longer British. We will have to find another proper British sauce now.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
Brown Sauce = Wrong Sauce.
Great video though.
Controversial
@@douglas9743 Naah it's filth. that brown shit overpowers/ruins the taste of the Bacon (which is one of the best flavours of any food)
@@andyknowles666 That's called an opinion :D
@@douglas9743 The correct opinion.
@@andyknowles666 You seem a right barrel of laughs
Microwave it 🤦🏻♂️
Should have buttered the bread
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
Worcestershire sauce nothing like fish sauce brown sauce nothing like barbuce sauce and using streaky bacon well I am speechless not the right bread plus over cooked bacon again far to much like American bacon but he lives in London so that says it all no one I know would put Worcestershire sauce on it anyway
How not to make a CZcams video...
The first type of bacon looks like thin sliced ham.
