Anyone for a bacon butt?

I've been working late shifts the last week or so, which makes stopping off at bars on the way home rather convenient, knowing that I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn the following day... Last night we dropped in on one of NY's few Boston-friendly bars to watch the Red Sox v the Minnesota Twins.

"It smells like they've been cooking bacon butts back there," reported my fellow bar-hopper, on his way back to the bar from the loo.

"They what?" quoth I, images of cigarette butts in bar toilets and the Spanky's pig (for some reason) coming to mind:



It turned out he meant bacon butties, which makes it an even odder thing to have thought the bar smelled of as to my knowledge he's never smelled a PROPER bacon butty made with thick-cut bacon in the U.K. But in his defense (kind of) this bar does do very good BLT club sandwiches.

It's the "butt steak" you get on menus that always makes me want to vomit.

LOL at Bacon Butt! How unappetising that sounds. I swear my nose would pick up a 'real' bacon butty smell 10 miles away I now so desperate for one!

It doesn't matter where you go, you only get a real bacon butty in the uk. As a side thought, you could call it a pig butt if you prefer to name your sandwiches by their contents origin!

I have recently bought a in use accustomed to laptop that is old. The person I had bought it from had installed windows xp on it, even though it instance came with windows Me. I after to eradicate the windows xp because it runs slows on the laptop because it takes up more thought than the windows Me would.
