Shoes For Breakfast
I could eat a Shoe every day.
How did the breakfast Shoe first make itself known? It had to be some Food Network program or other where someone visited diners while the fry cook made a specialty. And I'm probably remembering it wrong, and I don't know why it's called The Shoe, but...
Take any combo of potato, onion, and meat and fry it around. I've used fresh taters/onyawn, with bacon, but also frozen hash browns and frozen onyawn/green pepper combo. This one had chopped ham, the frozen pepper/onyawn combo, and seasoned frozen fries cut small (because we had an open bag). Then drop in an egg or two and cover until the egg sets. It's sometimes done with scrambled, but I prefer sunny side up.
Not done on CI or anything, just one of those infomercial frying pans.
Yup. We eat shoes for breakfast.

That's a breakfast to my liking. We call it truck driver breakfast.

I drive a truck for a living and I gotta say, if that's what it's called Joe, I'm getting the short end of the stick ....Joernolav wrote:That's a breakfast to my liking. We call it truck driver breakfast.

Re: Shoes For Breakfast
Haha. It's been called this as long as I can remember. Don't know why but very often if you stop at a road cafe you see truck drivers eat this. The cafes even advertise this as a discounted dish for truck drivers.woodenvisions wrote:I drive a truck for a living and I gotta say, if that's what it's called Joe, I'm getting the short end of the stick ....Joernolav wrote:That's a breakfast to my liking.

I too drive trucks, I'm retired but I enjoy a day or two a week. Relocating trucks is a good earner. I relocate between islands.

Make my plate a Size 12 Shoe.
We too used to have “greasy spoons”. They served “Blue Plate Specials” and sometimes “chipped beef on toast”, a bilious concoction of leftover meats ground up, boiled in milk, and spooned over sliced white bread toasted to hide the mold. We cadets called it a more proper name - s*** on a shingle. Stuff was an express ticket to the infirmary, itself a death sentence. We called it the Quack Shack. Docs there would test experimental nostrums on the unsuspecting students, had this happen to me once. Doc was a visiting type from England, gave me his own recipe compounded elixir to fix a sinus infection. After 2 days I was having night sweats and experiencing a strange urge to chase and bite the tires on a passing bus; I quit it cold turkey then, but took another week to pass and climb down off it. The guy must have been the one handing out the “bad acid” at Wood Stock. The episode probably explains my behavior even today
