Yesterday, after the soccer game, I decided to make lunch. Mira and I decided to make sandwiches. Now was my chance to make an Elvis Sandwich. I had read about the Elvis Sandwich at Handcoding. Alex wrote that they were delicious. The recipe is on his site.
Here are the makings: peanut butter, honey, bananas, butter, bread, bacon and the recipe.
In Alex's description, he mentioned haivng trouble buttering both sides of bread and keeping the butter off of things. The technique I use involves placing the buttered sides against each other while making the rest of the sandwich.
Next, I spread the peanut butter on. You can see the butter layer, projected from the surface.
As you can see, Mira placed here bananas and bacon on her sandwich. She didn't want to have any honey. Go figure.
I cooked the sandwich like a grilled cheese version. The smell was rather sweet in the air.
Mira and I sat down to eat. She was a little apprehensive and only took a couple bites of the sandwich before she reached in and pulled out the bacon.
I enjoyed lunch quite a bit. The melted bananas and peanut butter were good together and the saltiness of the bacon make the whoel thing delicious. I was quite impressed. It is a gut buster, so I don't recommend eating two in a sitting, but you may be hungry. :)
I am please to heartily endorse the Elvis Sandwich. Next time you get the chance, give it a try.

Posted by: bubba ho-tep [] on May 25, 2004 11:58 PMThanks for explaining. I heard about this from a friend and searched out other sites describing the sandwich, but you've done it best. Most people don't mention bacon, but I think it sounds delicious.
