   Cottage fries, in this area tend to be square cut and larger than the    
   cube cut hash brownsw. Ordering "home fries" here will get you sliced,   
   fried taters. Cottage fries are also known as American fries in some of   
   the local joints.

   Not a very accurate recipe, Julie. The cheese sauce bites the bitter   
   carrot. The original called for Olde English Cheddar. Putting plastic    
   cheeseoid like Velveeeta in your sauce might prompt a visit from the   
   County Health Department to see what other things have been played "fast   
   and loose".   Bv)=    
      
   Here's my horseshoe recipe. The sauce recipe I got from the owner of   
   Ritz' lil Fryer who learned it workig for Wayne Combs who was working   
   in the kitchen of the Leland Hotel when the first horseshoe was made and   
   served. It's a close to authenic as I can get without using Olde Englis   
   Cheddar.  BUT NEVER VELVEETA!!!!

         Title: Springfield Horseshoe Sandwich   
    Categories: Breads, Classic, Cheese, Meat   
         Yield: 4 Servings   
       
         8 sl Bread; toasted   
         8 oz (to 12) meat(s) *   
              Hot french fries   
              Paprika   
      
   MMMMM----------------------HORSESHOE SAUCE---------------------------   
        12 oz Shredded Cheddar cheese   
         2 tb Butter   
         1 ts Worcestershire sauce   
       1/4 ts Dry (Colman's) mustard   
       1/4 ts Ground red pepper   
         2    Egg yolks   
       1/2 c  Stale beer   
       
     * Original meat in a Horseshoe was ham. Any meat can   
     be (and probably has been) used. My favourite is half-   
     hamburger and half crispy bacon. Seafood also works   
     well on this delight.   
        
     In a saucepan, melt together cheese and butter over low   
     heat. Stir in Worcester sauce, mustard and cayenne. Beat   
     the yolks and beer together and add to the sauce pan.   
        
     Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens   
     and begins to bubble around the edges. Makes 4 cups.   
        
     On preheated dinner plates, arrange 2 toast slices each.   
     Top toast with meat. Pour a generous amount of Horseshoe   
     Sauce over meat.   
        
     Encircle each sandwich with hot french fries. Sprinkle   
     paprika (or cayenne) over sauce.   
        
     Makes 4 servings.
