THE GREAT BRITISH BACON BUTTY - BACON SANDWICH
The news is out - scientists at my old university, (Leeds University in West Yorkshire) have discovered the PERFECT way to make a "Bacon Butty", that quintessential British sandwich, and they have devised a mathematical formula for it!! The bacon butty is one of my FAVOURITE sandwiches of all times.......especially when doused in HP Sauce or Worcestershire Sauce! Here is my method - it's hardly a recipe, more of an idea and an assembly job! I have posted their mathematical formula at the end of the recipe - my formula is: Eat your bacon butty whilst it's still hot and crispy!! Please increase the quantities as needed. I like to use smoked bacon, but any good quality dry cure bacon will be fine.

Steps:
- Cook the bacon under a preheated oven grill for seven minutes at about 240C/475F - turning half way through the cooking time.
- Cook until crispy, but not burnt or too dry.
- (You can also fry the bacon in a pan if you wish).
- Butter the two slices of bread and place the grilled or fried bacon inside the two slices of bread to make a sandwich.
- Add sauces to taste.
- Enjoy!
- The bread can also be toasted if you wish! And, you can make this sandwich with a crusty bread roll.
- The Scientist's Formula:.
- Four researchers at the Department of Food Science at Leeds University in the UK spent more than 1,000 hours testing 700 variations on the traditional bacon sandwich.
- They tried different types and cuts of bacon, cooking techniques, types of oil and a range of cooking times at different temperatures.
- A shortlist was then tested with computers to measure the texture of each sandwich.
- Fifty volunteers also judged each sandwich according to its taste, texture and flavour.
- The formula is: N = C + {fb (cm) . fb (tc)} + fb (Ts) + fc . ta, where N=force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb=function of the bacon type, fc=function of the condiment/filling effect, Ts=serving temperature, tc=cooking time, ta=time or duration of application of condiment/filling, cm=cooking method, C=Newtons required to break uncooked bacon.

Steps:
- Open up the sandwich rolls and scoop out most of the center.
- In a small mixing bowl combine 2 tablespoons of Pesto with the Tepanade, artichoke slices and stir to mix well.
- On the Rolls: Spread 1/2 tablespoon of remaining Pesto on each side of the rolls. Divide the Olive Artichoke Pesto mixture between the two rolls and spread on each roll.
- Take slices of the turkey, ham and salami and cheese and place on top of the Olive mixture, dividing them between the two sandwiches.
- At this point you can make these HOT or COLD sandwiches.
- for HOT::
- Heat heavy cast iron skillet, place the two rolls and top with another pan or I use my tea kettle with water in it to squish them down.
- Heat through, turning over halfway.
- for COLD:.
- Squish the two sides of the sandwich together and wrap tightly with suran wrap and place in fridge. This gives the flavors time to marry, serve and enjoy !
