BLT

Cultural Context

The BLT sandwich originated in the United States in the early 20th century and has become a staple of American cuisine. It celebrates the simple yet delicious combination of crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and ripe tomatoes, often enjoyed during summer when tomatoes are in season. Today, variations abound, with many adding ingredients like avocado or different spreads, but the classic BLT remains a beloved favorite.
