Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato Sandwiches (BLTs)
Lunch counters have provided etymologists and linguists with one of the richest sources of American slang, cant, and jargon, usually based on a form of verbal shorthand bandied back and forth between waiters and cooks. Some terms have entered familiar language of most Americans--"BLT" (a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich)...and others--but most remain part of a bewildering and colorful language specific to the workers in such establishments.
~The Encyclopedia of American Food & Drink, John F. Mariani
I always get a craving for BLTs as the weather turns nice - it's just a spring/summer time meal, and it never disappoints!
Not much of a recipe, really, just toast some bread, slather some mayo on, and add bacon, lettuce, and tomato! Perfect!
