Shhhh…. We just learned this, and are spreading the hot gossip, on the down-low… did you know that the "B" in BLT doesn't stand for bread? It stands for bacon! Wonders abound! So you don't need a loaf of the gluten stuff to get your BLT on here, with crunchy lettuce providing an excellent, and healthy, stand-in. But not too healthy: we've got both ground pork and bacon here to fill your porcine quota. Now spread the word.
