White toast, proper butter, smoky bacon (griddled), black pepper. No sauce. By the time you've nearly finished it the toast must have disintegrated.

You had me at mustard. You lost me, forever, at marmalade.

Not had bacon for years either - but as tomato sauce is only for people with no taste buds, it has to be HP.

Butter.

Butter is disgusting in this context, as it usually is. It's not even from the same animal. It creates an iniquity of fats.
Brown and 'red' sauce are pathetic, the worst of what is British.
Meanwhile, the best of British -- mustard -- is generally ignored. Non-British mustard is acceptable on a bacon butty, so long as it's not sweet (an abomination), but with this country holding the prize on the mustard front, why would you?

I'm going to throw another contenders hat into the ring for the title of top brown sauce and that hat belongs to Stokes brown sauce - well worth hunting out

Just had me a bacon sarnie and while the sauce varies between Brown (HP, Daddies and YR sauces are all acceptable but not Stokes’ Brown sauce as, apart from it trying to be some sort of artisan condiment with Britannia on the label and sold in Waitrose, it’s just rank), Red (pretty much all are acceptable) and Dijon Mustard, the bacon must be unsmoked with crisp fat and the bread fresh white sliced (sourdough and whatnot has no place in my bacon sarnie). Very tasty

It’s a classic combo. Bacon and brown sauce. It even alliterates.

I look forward to the release of bacon and buggery crisps, when I’ll cede your point.

I don't eat bacon, but nix between tomato and brown sauce for any Egg/Sausage sandwich. The Morrisons brown sauce actually isn't to bad specifically has a good spice to it.

You were going fine there until you got to mustard.
All that's required is two thickish slices of fresh granary bread filled with 2 or 3 slices of grilled smoked back bacon. No butter, no sauce, no mustard.

Deeply inadequate poll. Perhaps it’s time to do a 2020’s update to my definitive thread.

The long awaited return of the definitive U75 bacon sarnie thread
It's been almost 4 years since it was democratically decided that the U75 standard bacon sarnie consisted of smoked back bacon cooked crispy with the rind off on white bread with ketchup. But, 4 years is a long time when it comes to the ultimate snack and we've had many newbies join since...

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
Just cast my vote and am relieved that even in these dark times the majority still voted for brown, whilst red is (just about) acceptable.
However the fact that people are suggesting put jam or marmalade on bacon makes me fear that these are indeed the End of Days

Good to see they still make “The Crisp O’ The Clan”
- Do they still have a be-kilted chap wielding a broadsword on the packet? Used to buy these from a corner shop in Leeds in the 80s which stocked all manner of obscure crisps with equally obscure flavours E.g. Zweifel’s Chilli & Lemon crisps (from Switzerland 
).

That works too. But mustard should remain a possibility.

I was hoping for more honourable than that tbf.
Definitely no sauce.
However, I kind of like the idea of marmalade and mustard. I’ll have a scrape of English mustard and some not too sweet fruit jelly on a ham sandwich. And I love to finish a cooked breakfast with a bit of toast and marmalade, there’s something about the bitter/sweet/sharp tang that compliments the salt of the bacon.
