Had a big night out? Ease yourself into the morning after with a recipe courtesy of the king of rock’n’roll (and of junk food)

It’s no secret that Elvis had a weakness for junk food, but this sandwich hammers that message home, especially as he was known to nibble one as a snack between meals. Contrary to rumour, he wasn’t eating one when he died, though. Still, I’d save this for post-big-night-out mornings; if you make it a regular part of your diet, you’ll go the same way as the King.
Serves one
Toast two slices of bread, then butter them. Turn butter side down and spread one naked side generously with peanut butter and the other with honey. Fry three rashers of bacon until crisp, then lie them on top of the peanut butter. Cut half a banana into slices on the diagonal, and lay on top of the bacon. Top with the honeyed slice of bread, buttered side facing outwards. Slide the sandwich into the pan in which you fried the bacon and cook gently until golden brown on both sides.
