BLTs

Crunchy lunch orders

BLTs are sandwiches made with bacon, lettuce, and tomato—the ingredients that give the dish its name.

The combination is a staple of American diners and lunch counters: I'll have a BLT on toasted white with mayo.

The plural form is standard since sandwiches are typically ordered or discussed as countable items.
