ROCKY ROAD, DENVER SANDWICH

   It appears that the LOS ANGELES TIMES database is now up to 1930.  Only another 36 more years for "the whole nine yards."
  Here's some western foods.  See also the archives.  I'm still awaiting that first "cheeseburger" and "corndog."

   Make twelve slices of toast and butter.  Beat six eggs until light and beat into them two cupfuls of finely chopped boiled ham, two finely chopped small onions, and three finely chopped dill pickles.  Heat three tablespoonfuls of butter in a sautepan, turn in the mixture and stir and cook five minutes; spread over six slices of the buttered toast, cover with six slices of toast, place one sandwich on a lettuce-covered plate, garnish with sliced dill pickle and serve.
