What is a "Meat Bastard"

Here i explain what i mean by the 'meat bastard'



I've had a few emails by people asking me what the hell a 'meat bastard' is. It's very simple really. A Meat Bastard is a sandwich, usually on white bread, that contains sausage, bacon and ham but no salad. Cheese is acceptable to add to it as well as any condiments, for example HP sauce, mayo, etc. but anything remotely healthy is not allowed including peas, corn, nuts, eggs, even fried ones, any kind of potato thing, even fries or crisps (potato chips in the USA) or pretty much anything other than meat but it must contain sausages, bacon and ham to be classified as a bastard sandwich.

The polar opposite of this is what they call the Christ Sandwich which is potato slices, coleslaw, rocket lettuce, sliced tomato, granary bread, some sort of beans i can't remember the name of, peas or pine nuts and no butter.

Another sandwich I know is called "Brut Dich". It's a baguette that has had a tunnel made through the center through which you can shove 1 of many kinds of sausages into it so it kinda looks like a sealed up hotdog. The trick is getting enough flavor in the sausage so that you don't need to add any sauces.
