English bacon is made from the loin, while American is made from the belly. Both are cured, and American is generally smoked. Particularly in the morning most of us want what we are used to, and don't like substitutes. By lunch time typically we are more willing to be international and eat either. LOL

Despite curious rumors to the contrary, I consider myself something of a bacon expert.....

Most English bacon is actually Danish.

Most Danish bacon is actually Polish.

However, Danish farmers are paid a supplement to cover the additional cost of rearing UK pigs™.

Coff, Christian; Barling, David; Korthals, Michiel; Nielsen, Thorkild, Ethical Traceability and Communicating Food, Springer, 2008 ISBN 1-4020-8523-0.

In 2007, the Danish Bacon and Meat Council commissioned research at Leeds University (UK) into what features make a perfect bacon butty (the researchers refused to use the term sandwich deeming this to be incorrect terminology). Among the findings were that texture and crispiness of the bacon were just as important as taste.

p.s. Because Danish bacon is cut from the loin of the pig rather than the belly, it tends to be a bit meatier than American bacon. This meatier flavor combines with the smoky, salty flavor imbued by the curing process to give what some call the best bacon taste available.

pps - don't take my word for it; I haven't eaten bacon myself for...... many many years. I'll even swear as such on the holy Qu'ran

If it's seafood it's always white bread not rye.

The problem with the open sandwich is you have to eat it with a knife and fork, which is why two slices of bread are infinitely better.

Most certainly not. The only seafood served on white bread are salmon and prawns; everything else is on rye bread.

As for the knives and forks thing well, yes, if you're out in nature that's a bit of a problem. Since most people I know of eat at a table, it's really not an issue.

There must be a difference between open sandwiches in Norway and Denmark, anything with seafood here is on white bread, everything else is on rye.

I don’t believe you could consider smørbrød a sandwich, it only has a single slice of bread, a traditional sandwich has two slices with filling in the middle, designed to be eaten without a knife and fork, something you can’t do with smørbrød.

How about... Ice cream sandwiches?

Also a direct translation of "smørbrød" is butter bread... It's literally toast. Just tends to be fancier with more stuff piled on it.

The Danish spelling is smørrebrød, which Google translate to sandwiches.

Keep in mind, that there are different kinds of smørrebrød for different kinds of occasions.

- Højbelagt smørrebørd. (Google translate: Highly coated sandwiches)
The kind you buy at restaurants, where you cannot see the rye bread for all the toppings. Here you definitely need a knife and fork to eat it.

- Frokostsmørrebrød. (Lunch sandwiches)
The kind you can buy at supermarkets or other shops and eat for lunch. Knife and fork is optional. If you are a craftsman eating during your lunchbreak in the wan, no need for knife and fork. Going back to the office and eating at your desk, you can use a knife and fork.

- Håndmad. (Hand food)
The kind your mother made and put in your lunchbox for you to eat at school during breaks. No knife and fork needed.

I believe I copy and pasted the Norwegian word, I can't make non-English characters on this tablet so I have to copy and paste.

Also bread is best toasted, come on now!

What kind of tablet are you using? On Android devices, if you long-touch a letter key it'll give you a little pop-up with a lot of similar/accented characters based on it.

The Norwegian word and the Danish word are almost the same, in Norwegian it translates to open sandwich. Written danish and Norwegian are also the same, the Danes fuck it up when they start speaking.

I have never seen a sandwich without the meat on the bottom. Maybe egg or tuna salad where you put the lettuce on the bottom to keep the bread together.. I think he was busting your chops maybe?
