When I was an art student & hadn't learned to cook yet, a cafe down the block made cheap (15 cents) fried egg sandwiches. I had one for breakfast every day.

@ant1 yes, the classic egg sandwich left its humble diner roots as plain jane, and now almost always has, sausage, bacon, or ham/canadian/pea meal bacon and cheese as embellishment. Sometimes I just crave a whitebread, butter, S&P plain egg sandwich. The ten center...

I'm unfamiliar with pea meal or is it pea flour? In which case I can't imagine it on an egg sandwich. Please advise

@ant1 "classic canadian bacon" inception and origin in Canada is rolled in peal meal flour to cure and preserve. It's quite common and the origin of "Canadian Bacon".

@ant1 yes, a "Pea Meal Bacon" Butty, Barm, or Bap is the classic in the Canadian Provinces.

Wonderful! We grind our own wheat, bake our own bread, have chickens, make our own butter, make our own cheese, see my recipes in cookpad. Not counting labor, it is hard here in California to make your recipe for ten or fifteen cents based on current feed prices shooting up because of the Ukrainian War. Slave Ukrayina.

@HobbyHorseman sure, but if you are really self sustained, and make it all from scratch, then the overhead is only what labor you put on yourself and it's worth.
Of course, Surely, there is no 2 cent egg and 2 cent bun, a negligible amount of butter, anymore. That menu board that I mention, with the ten center egg sandwich is more than a hundred years old.

Thank you! I missed the 100 year old mention of the menu prices!
