Caroline Parker, who now lives in Boston, Massachusetts, recently took to TikTok to divulge the secrets to the popular dish\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She surprised her American husband by making a bacon sandwich the traditional ‘English’ way – before revealing that he loved it<\/p>\n
In the clip, which has so far been viewed more than 2.1 million times, Caroline can be seen standing in her kitchen as she speaks directly to camera.<\/p>\n
Holding a frozen loaf of bread and pack of bacon, she begins: ‘I am going to make my American husband an English bacon sandwich because I went to the Irish shop… don’t ask me how much I spent.’<\/p>\n
She defrosts the bread as she explains: ‘There’s a big difference between American and English bread – if you know, you know.’<\/p>\n
Caroline continues: ‘Compared to American bacon, you have to put a little bit of oil in the pan because it just has less fat.<\/p>\n
‘Obviously with streaky bacon, you don’t need oil.\u00a0I made that mistake when I first moved here.<\/p>\n
‘I prefer my bacon like this but that is definitely just because I’m used to it. This is what we eat back home. I don’t know if my husband likes it like this but he’s going to have it.’<\/p>\n
She lets the bacon cook away in a frying pan before turning her attention to making the perfect bready base.<\/p>\n
Caroline explains: ‘While that’s bubbling, let’s construct this. This it totally preference. For me, I like loads of butter and just a bit of ketchup.’<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The content creator states that the trick is not to toast the bread as she slathers on a thick layer of butter on one slice of bread before adding ketchup and bacon<\/p>\n

She uploaded the clip alongside a caption that read: ‘Can’t beat a good ol’ British bacon sarnie. My husband LOVED it’<\/p>\n

She says: ‘On the other side, I also buy my ketchup from the Irish shop because ketchup in the US has quite a lot of chemicals in it and I just try and keep them as low as possible for the kids.’<\/p>\n
Caroline then adds a dash of hot sauce to her husband’s sandwich before taking her bacon off the stove.<\/p>\n
She states: ‘As you can see, there is obviously fat coming off but if I had American streaky bacon this would be swimming if I added oil as well.<\/p>\n
‘And then you just plate it up. I like to do three pieces of bacon per sandwich. It’s all preference really, some people add an egg.’<\/p>\n
