Perplexing name for a plant-based sandwich. The beginning ‘Æ'’ is a dialectal (West Jutland) variant of the negation ‘ikke’ (‘not’). Perhaps, it was used for its similarity to the word ‘æg’ (‘egg’). The word ‘BAƆCON’ is a very weird spelling. I know that vegan alternatives often use modified spellings of what they are emulating, but nonsensical IPA symbols?
