The History of the BLT Club Sandwich Delight

The BLT sandwich has been around for centuries. Traditionally made with bacon, lettuce and tomato, it is thought to be an American creation that was influenced by French cuisine. Even the French may have gotten the idea from the British Club Sandwich which was the original precursor of the BLT.

Popularity of the BLT Club Sandwich

The popular BLT Club Sandwich Delight has been around since at least the 1950s, and has become a classic for lunch counters, restaurants, and home kitchens around the world.
