This is supposed to be the late night snack everyone will have after Prince Harry's late night party tonight. Has anyone ever had one?

<h2>About This Recipe</h2>

"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."

<h2>Ingredients</h2>
  • <ul> <li>2 -3 slices back bacon, per person
  • 2 slices of farmhouse bread, 1cm to 2cm thick, per person, OR
  • 1 crusty rolls, per person
  • butter (optional)
  • HP steak sauce (optional)
  • Worcestershire sauce (optional)
</li> </ul>
<h2>Directions</h2>
  1. Cook the bacon under a preheated oven grill for seven minutes at about 240C/475F - turning half way through the cooking time.
  2. Cook until crispy, but not burnt or too dry.
  3. (You can also fry the bacon in a pan if you wish).
  4. Butter the two slices of bread and place the grilled or fried bacon inside the two slices of bread to make a sandwich.
  5. Add sauces to taste.
  6. Enjoy!
  7. The bread can also be toasted if you wish! And, you can make this sandwich with a crusty bread roll.
