As someone who has been to Graceland and taken the guided tour 6 times, not once did any of the guides mention anything about bacon. They said he loved peanut butter and banana sandwhiches. Never said anything about bacon. -ALLST✰R▼echowuz here @15:07, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the sources say he at PBB sandwiches, some said PBBB so I think it is appropriate to include the Elvis connection in the article. It may be a stretch to include this in WikiProject Elvis and if you chose to remove the banner, I would not object and I am the one who added it. --kelapstick (talk) 15:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the sandwich is named after the guy. Isn't rock 'n roll all about legends? I think the article now reflects the sources. If there's one saying he DIDN'T eat the sandwiches, that would be great to include, but I tried to go as far as I could in casting doubt on a sourced assertion based on what there was to work with.

Since I didn't live with the man, I wouldn't know what he ate. I just know what the tour guides say at Graceland and they never mention bacon. Being such an unusual food, you'd think they would say bacon too. But all they say is peanut butter and banana. They tell you he ate them on plain bread or sometimes he'd butter the bread and put them in a skillet to brown the bread. Never anything about bacon though. -ALLST✰R▼echowuz here @09:17, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No disrespect meant, but this article has a number of reliable sources that mention Elvis at least preferring bacon some of the time, and I'd say that trumps what you remember hearing at a Graceland tour. -- Atamachat23:55, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't about "trumping" or not trumping. I didn't once ask that the info be removed. I just stated that of all places where authority on Elvis reigns, they don't once mention him eating bacon on, in or with his PBB sandwiches. -ALLST✰R▼echowuz here @02:28, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A tour guide is far from a reliable source. Their job is to entertain tourists, and I doubt that the guides themselves are historical scholars. I will say that it's definitely interesting that they wouldn't have included the bacon part when talking about the food. How much time did they spend talking about what Elvis ate? I know that his eccentric diet is part of his legend. -- Atamachat16:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
They go into great detail about his cooking abilities and his mother's, especially when you reach the kitchen in the Graceland house. He also loved mayo and fried egg sandwiches, just about as much as the peanut butter/banana sandwiches according to the guides. -ALLST✰R▼echowuz here @16:29, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No where did Elvis Presley's cook, Mary Jenkins use bacon. see <a href=' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l96LUvRrXjo'>David Letterman 10 09 87 pt 3 Mary Jenkins Elvis Presley's Favorite Cook </a>There are numerous other links where Mary Jenkins prepares the peanut banana on toast, and fries it in butter. She never used bacon. The peanut-banana with bacon with the Elvis name is someone's cookbook fabrication. 66.18.238.173 (talk) 18:43, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have a source or else I would add it, but I remember once Cybill Shepard once describing, shall we say, an 'encounter' with Elvis in which she shared the sandwich with him. As I recall, in her account, the sandwich was fried, and consisted of bread, banana, bacon, peanut butter, and mayonnaise.122.107.170.39 (talk) 15:31, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
it does not mention anything about this in the Elvis wiki article. You might want to add it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.150.252.190 (talk) 03:13, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
I am intrigued by the mention of Lisa Loeb and Roey Hershkovitz eating a peanut butter, banana, honey and bacon sandwich in view of their Jewish wedding ceremony. Perhaps it was turkey bacon? FayM,[reply]
My dad grew up on banana sandwiches with pb and mayo mashed together (also from Mississippi). Every time I meet someone from the southern United States, I ask how they make their banana sandwiches: I've heard countless recipes. I know it sounds funny, but this sandwich has a long and personal history with a lot of families, and it seems to be especially widespread in the southeast U.S. Unfortunately, the "history" section on this article is actually only an "Elvis" section. What records do we have of this sandwich before Elvis? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ossum86 (talk • contribs) 12:17, September 11, 2013
What in the Sam Hill is being shown in the picture accompanying this article? Someone forgot to cook the bacon, which must be crisp -- very crisp -- in a sandwich such as this. 107.147.183.77 (talk) 02:39, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
