Questions[edit]

"in the trades" - what does that even mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.97.235 (talk) 11:57, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the article mention both hot pockets and lean pockets? You can barely call them food. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.33.119.82 (talk) 19:26, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations[edit]

I would like to congratulate every one who has helped this article. In just 1 day it has turned from a being barely useful, to being OK! At this rate, by next week if not sooner it will be a featured article! Give your selves a round of applause, you deserve it!--Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 23:01, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

coagulate? barley?^diff have a round applesauce! Jack Merridew 10:11, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I shoud note that barely useful is still useful.--Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 22:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Error in article[edit]

...um, the Egg McMuffin is not an incarnation of this sandwich. The base type is made with ham not bacon. ("Canadian Bacon" as used in the US is much more like ham than it is like bacon) That material needs to be removed. After it's removed, the notability of this topic goes way down. ++Lar: t/c 03:27, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

... Hmmm. I never did like Canadian Bacon. While I didn't add the McDonald’s link here, I did add it there — where it seems

to have been nudged along into ungrammatical territory. I have no problem with the removal or trimming of the connections between the two articles; the mass-market products are merely the ones who have left the large Google-footprint. Aren't the cop and the boy in that Rockwell painting have BE&Cs? Cheers, Jack Merridew 04:17, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The file picture File:Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich.jpg apparently depicts a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.190.159.246 (talk) 04:54, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Health information[edit]

Does someone want to move the calorie information into the health section? ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:44, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Way too Local[edit]

This article absolutely astounds me with its parochialism. Suggest it be deleted and any text be transferred to the "Stuff I can buy in my local mall" wiki - except there isnt one. Sorry but what you call a BE&C sandwich in your neck of the woods is unlikely to be of any interest to the rest of the world. The references to US based stores/restaurants suggest that that is the limit of your research. You use words like "typically" - oh yes? typical of what? Kazakstanis? New Guineans? Singalese? or just fellow americans who buy pre-packaged menu items in the same fast food chains that you do?

I can imagine that a lot could be said about the different kinds of bacon, eggs, cheese and bread that are available all over the world, different ways in which these items are sourced, prepared, combined and served in different countries and cultures. Maybe that would make a useful article. There would certainly be plenty to research and write and yet even then I doubt whether the price of a menu item at a theme park in Orlando would get a mention.

Here is a bit of free data for you: In our house in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, England, a bacon, cheese and egg sandwich is prepared by lightly frying smoked best-back Danish bacon in olive oil at the same time as free-poaching a small ducks egg in boiling water. The two are then laid on a freshly baked, half toasted white barm cake along with two slices of Vittoria tomato, sprinkled with a mixture of grated double-gloucester and red-leicester cheeses, seasoned with ground black pepper and grilled lightly until the cheese is melted. Some people add a smear of HP sauce for a more piquant flavour. The whole is then served with a pot of Ceylon Pettiagalla tea. It is a common snack for Saturday lunchtimes.

OK, so now we know what a BC & E sandwich is for me and for you - just the rest of the world to go...

Does every ingredient have to have a special name? -_- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.137.100.35 (talk) 08:37, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add reliably sourced content on this important subject. Your version sounds very tasty. I don't know what barm cake is, but I assume it's similar to the Wonder Bread I get at Walmart. Cheers. ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:05, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bacon egg and cheese poptart[edit]

The bacon egg and cheese poptart was actually invented by great HHMI scientist, Matt Reilley. He acculumulated a vast supply of chocolate fudge poptarts in his room and then one day he added bacon egg and cheese and then ate 50 of them a day for each day for his whole life. Therefore, the credit of the bacon egg and cheese poptarts will be place on Matt Reilley's mantel. He will never deny the great influence of the bacon egg and cheese sandwhich to his life's achievements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.119.234.19 (talk) 17:12, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures[edit]

This article could use more pictures.--Dana60Cummins (talk) 17:47, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Calorie Information[edit]

Should the calorie info be removed? Is it really even appropriate to list types of bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches made by various franchises? It's a reasonable assumption these are included as a form of covert advertising. It is obv. in the favor of those with less calories. To make it fair, i suppose we ought to include the different ingredients, for example, the various unhealthy chemicals that may be in the lower calorie ones... know what im sayin? I can see keepin the various dif types but really think we ought to get rid of the calorie info — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lerikson (talk • contribs) 02:03, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's not bacon. -Da kar 04:53, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

my personal favourite[edit]

my mother and sister call it "heart attack on a roll" - three fried eggs, bacon AND sausage, yellow American AND Provolone, all on one roll with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Tabasco sauce Shotguntony (talk) 12:57, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
