Description:
U.S. State of Colorado traditional food - The Western sandwich was invented by America's pioneers. It was common for eggs to get "high" after a long haul over hot trails. In order to salvage the eggs, and kill the bad flavor of them, pioneers women mixed eggs with onions and any other seasonings on hand. The Western sandwich evolved over time and is now known as the Denver omelette. |
