Breakfast sandwiches and potato hash!<\/p>\n
“Overview<\/p>\n
Breakfast sandwiches are typically made using breakfast meats (generally cured meats such as sausages, patty sausages, bacon, country ham, Spam and pork roll), breads, eggs and cheese. These sandwiches were typically regional specialties until fast food restaurants began serving breakfast. Because the common types of bread, such as biscuits, bagels, and English muffin, were similar in size to fast food hamburger buns, they made an obvious choice for fast food restaurants. Unlike other breakfast items, they were perfect for the innovation of the drive-through. These sandwiches have also become a staple of many convenience stores, that serve them as take-away items.<\/p>\n
History<\/p>\n
Although the ingredients for the breakfast sandwich have been common elements of breakfast meals in the English-speaking world for centuries, it was not until the 19th century in the United States that people began regularly eating eggs, cheese, and meat in a sandwich.[1] What would later be known as “breakfast sandwiches” became increasingly popular after the Civil War, and were a favorite food of pioneers during American westward expansion. The first known published recipe for a “breakfast sandwich” was in an 1897 American cookbook.[1]” curated by lemasney from Breakfast sandwich – Wikipedia at https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Breakfast_sandwich<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Hash browns or hashed browns are a simple preparation in which potatoes are pan-fried after being shredded, diced,[1] julienned or riced, in the style of a Swiss R\u00f6sti. In some cultures, hash browns or hashed browns can refer to any of these preparations, while in others it may refer to one specific preparation. Hash browns are a staple breakfast food at diners in North America, where they are often fried on a large common cooktop or grill.[2] \u00a0In some parts of the United States, hash browns strictly refer to shredded or riced pan-fried potatoes and are considered a breakfast food, while potatoes diced or cubed and pan-fried are also a side dish called country fried potatoes or home fries (though many variations of home fries are par-cooked before frying). Some recipes add diced or chopped onions.[2] \u00a0Hash browns are a mass-produced product that are purveyed in refrigerated and frozen varieties.[3][4] The product is also manufactured in dehydrated form.” curated by lemasney from Hash browns – Wikipedia at https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hash_browns<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
