Bacon Buttie

Standard

Ah yes……BACON!   The British often call a bacon sandwich a bacon buttie or bacon sarnie…….I googled both of those and what popped up in photos looks not only YUMMY but identical to my “ideal bacon sandwich”………so I know that should I ever travel to England I will be having my usual bacon sandwich…..with tea!

Yep - that's a bacon sammich alright (googled Bacon buttie)

Yep – that’s a bacon sammich alright (googled Bacon buttie)

This morning though I’m having bacon and a bite of pancake because that’s what Mom’s making today………….actually I don’t really like the pancake as much as the syrup that MIGHT be found on the pancake.   Aren’t I just awful?????

NOMMY!

NOMMY!

Today Mom and Dad are heading next door for the neighbor’s Olympics themed birthday party for their oldest son who is turning nine.  Ought to be tons of fun…………ought to be some leftovers……..ought to be brought back to THE CAT who is waiting patiently for his parents to return with a treat………notice the word OUGHT……..we’ll see if it happens!    Yesterday afternoon Mom helped the neighbor out by letting her use our oven to cook one of the Greek foods she’s serving to the kids and parents coming to the party………..our house smelled FABULOUS for a whole hour…………..it was spanakopita and it’s like a spinach pie with crispy phyllo dough on top……….MAMA MIA (oops – that’s not Greek, it’s Italian!).

spanikopita Looks good to me!  I could sprinkle a bit of catnip on top!!!!!

So what’s for breakfast at your house this morning?    Hmm?????

  1. Great news, Sammy! My human says that if I go to the Cat Writers Conference with her at the end of October, I might get to have some bacon! ‘Cause they give everyone breakfast, and it often includes…yes…bacon! She won’t eat it, but she said she would give me a little piece.

    • Oh Summer – I can’t wait for you to try some bacon…..I really do think you’d like it – and I also think you’ll have a BLAST at the Cat Writers Conference!!!!! You’ll be the belle of the ball.

  2. Hehe! It’s usually buttie in the north of England and sarnie in the south. The Staff always says sarnie … she does, really!! I am hoping for bacon, one day *sigh* have a great weekend, Sammy 🙂

    • Hi Austin! I didn’t know about the north south distinction but we heard both on Eastenders (haha) so figured it was the same thing – just called something different depending on where you were!

      Hugs and Happy Weekend

  9. Mau thinks y’all should get Austin to deliver some of the Bacon Butties to Scouts. Mom is absolutely drooling over that bacon and pancakes. She is also a huge fan of the spanakopita and baclava. She says her mouth is watering just thinking about it. Hope some leftovers made it home to you. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    • Hi Nylablue…..Benny’s been gone for a year now – but Lily has little Edward to keep her company now and they have lots of great adventures together. I know what you mean though about all those who are leaving for Summerland lately – so many – but I guess we’re all getting older together and we’ll experience more loss as we age. Anyway, on to happy things like tuna-tuna and sunny catio mornings and all those things that make us HAPPY HAPPY!!!!!

      Love and Hugs, Sammy
