I wonder if I am losing touch with reality, a cafe just tried to charge me £4.00 for a bacon sandwich and seemed surprised that I declined. What does one cost in your part of the world?

As above.

£4 sounds alright if it's decent amount of decent bacon on decent bread, if it's a couple of slices of filo bacon on Sunblest it's another matter

2.50 to 4.00. The van on the industial eastate I work on is 3.50 or maybe 4.00 but it is a big sandwich with lots of bacon. The worst Iahd was at a farm sale last year, 3.50 or more, pre cooked bacon under a hot plate, cheap thin sliced bread.

Did the establishment selling it you use the word 'Artisan' to describe any of the contents. Thats usually the reason used to double the price of something.

Builders merchants behind our office has Nico's Emporium of Processed Pork Products. Decent sized roll with 3-4 proper rashers is £2.00. Another 40p more for an egg. 60p to add 3 slices of rather fine black pudding.

Sometimes I wonder if Binners and I were separated at birth.

I've been trying to stay off them but I think vans in Edinburgh are selling for about £2. Last week working in Surrey at one of the RideLondon watering spots a local butcher was selling "a" sausage on a roll for £2.50 which we thought a bit tight, it looked tight, a single sausage in a big white bap.

Two quid, although you do have to put up with the ignominy of purchasing from an outlet that uses the word "snax" in their title.

£3.50 in our restaurant upstairs for a huge baguette filled with sliced pig and 2 eggs. Same price for the sausage equivalent. Both are fan-****ing-tastic.

I paid three quid for two pale soggy slices of middle on a small bap. Totterdown Farm RIAT viewing field. Even the guys serving it up looked depressed, it was like a silent, solemn pigs funeral where the pig was done no credit whatsoever. An insult even.

I've paid four quid tops for thick cut proper bread and local home-cured. Max I'd wish to pay for cheapo stuff is 2.50 if very hungry although would prefer to give it a miss tbh.

This weekend I might now have to devour a whole pack of finely cured smoked back (8 rashers) in a single bap. Egg and red sauce to accompany.

Slightly OT.
I once went in a cafe and asked for an egg and bacon sandish.
Thin white bread was buttered.
Pre cooked bacon was then microwaved.
Then ............a precooked fried egg was produced that went in the microwave.
The only positive from this traumatic experience was that the cafe owner wasn't English.
No Englishmen would EVER commit such a crime.

Egg, Sausage and Bacon in a roll = £2.80. Eat-In, West London.

If you don't want any of those three fillings you can leave it out and add bit extra of what's left for the same price.

I wouldn't mind paying £4 if it was a nice place and i was eating in, however 2 rasher of bacon in a sandwich would be a deal breaker that is too little meat to make up a proper sandwich, there would be gaps all over the place.

£3 ish in sunny Warwick, £4 for bacon and sausage. It's good stuff too, 3 thick bacon slices and good sausage. Worth every penny.

I find it hard to think of a crime not at some time having been committed by an Englishman. Unless the mere doing so excludes one from definition.

But yes, margarine on bacon sarnie is so wrong it makes me think dark thoughts.

The sandwich wagon which comes to the office here in Surrey charges £2 for a couple of rashers in a french bap, onions optional 🙂

Cheers, Rich

red sauce

Are you 6 years old?

Brown sauce. The howitzer of condiments. For real men only.

Oh Christ! We've crossed the line into preferred condiments AND someone's used the word bap.

There is no way this can ever be resolved successfully now

Greggs FTW. Ideal hangover cure - bacon & sausage bun AND a latte for 2 quid.

Perfect this morning 🙂

The local bakers will do you 3 rashers and an egg on a freshly baked white roll for £2.10. I have to drive a different way to work so I don't drive past it. 😀

The van near to my work does a belly buster for £3.50 - 4 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 slices of black pudding and 2 eggs. I'm suprised I can still fit through the door!

I have seriously got to start thinking about relocating. My area was on that TV show with the large annoying woman and the foppish bloke about buying houses and now it's becoming gentrified, I have to drive a fair way to get a decent value fry up these days.

Good to know that some people can still enjoy the traditional and cheap breakfast roll.

University caff £1.45, excellent bacon, usually just slightly burnt so nice and crispy. +10p for no name broon sauce.
Public caff does daily specials on rolls. 2 days it's pork and black pudding sausage for £1.10 - top rolls

Going OT - many years ago, after an all-nighter I went into a Wimpy and ordered a fried egg roll. the roll was cracked into the chip fryer and the white wrapped round the yolk. First bite and the fekkin thing exploded showering me with hot fat and egg yolk.

Probs $10. Australian bacon is about 2 foot long and tasteless. My local butcher smokes his own (giggle) so home made on baguette with eggs (fried and runny) from my back yard chooks. And red sauce. And black pepper.

Wasn't sure, so in the interest of data collection just nipped out to the local butty van.

£1.80 for 2 rashers on a muffin. I opted for the 20p upcharge for the addition of a fried egg. No sauce, and fat cut off.

Fat cut off?

Our work canteen does a six item breakfast for £2.50 😀
So 4 rashers, a sausage and an egg and another 50 pence for a "soft baked white flour slightly flattened round bread product" gives quite a good scoff for £3.00
