Bacon rolls - how many is too many?
First post! We were flying to NCL on Thursday and had breakfast in the galleries north lounge. My husband had not one but four bacon rolls (oh and four mini pain au chocolats). I wondered if this was a mite excessive and led me to wonder who holds the record for eating the most bacon rolls in one sitting?

There's no right answer
Ah, the very subjective matter of bacon rolls. Being rather choosy about bacon butties, my preference is to ask for some hot dry toast and champagne, and strip the bacon from a number of rolls, to construct my own substantial bacon butty(ies)....

Welcome to FT FlyingWella. ^
Welcome to FT TourGuideBarbie. ^
I always feel that the bacon rolls are better with three or four pieces of bacon in one roll. ^
But of course why bother with the lounge roll at all when you can have a much better breakfast, including bacon roll, at Plane Food. ^

Oh, I'm never greedy. No more than three if I'm in T5 Galleries (usually followed by an extra coffee to take to the gate).

Firstly welcome to both our new members. Great first post in both cases^
Are you Mrs Walker? I don't remember telling you what I ate in the lounge
I'm going to beg to differ with previous posters and say that I think the bacon rolls in the lounges are scrumptious! I would however agree that they are on the small side, so 4 seems perfectly reasonable to me. Don't hold with eating all this French stuff though. Instead of those 'chocolate buns' he should have had another couple of bacon rolls@:-)

My preference is when bacon and bread are separate, and you build your own bacon roll. Then you have the choice of how much bacon is anough for one roll. Four rolls would be too much bread for my taste.

Isn't there a trial going on currently regarding separate rolls and bacon and building your own ?
