Despite my knowledge of many sandwiches - especially those জনপ্রিয় in the United States - I have never come across any mention of the one known as the Denver Sandwich . . . অথবা otherwise known as the Western Sandwich. I take that back. I have come one mention of the sandwich. It was mentioned in an প্রবন্ধ on another recipe known as the St. Paul Sandwich. The latter has been mistaken for the Denver স্যান্ডউইচ on several occasions.
The reason why the Denver স্যান্ডউইচ and the St. Paul স্যান্ডউইচ are constantly confused with one another is that the basis for both sandwiches start with eggs in omelette form. The Denver স্যান্ডউইচ not only consists of a traditional omelette, but also ham, onion, green pepper, and scrambled eggs between two pieces of রুটি অথবা toasts.
There are several versions of how the Denver স্যান্ডউইচ was created. A pair of খাবার writers named James Beard and Evan Jones believed that the Denver স্যান্ডউইচ was actually created দ্বারা "the many Chinese chefs who cooked for logging camps and railroad gangs in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries" and was probably derived from egg foo young (used in the St. Paul Sandwich). Denver citizens such as restaurateur Albert A. McVittie and M. D. Looney have claimed to have created the স্যান্ডউইচ in 1907. Someone claimed that the স্যান্ডউইচ was invented at Denver’s Tabor Hotel. but mentions of it in newspapers predate all these claimants. A San Antonio newspaper first called the dish, Manhattan Sandwich, which consisted of a fried egg instead of scrambled eggs, in 1908. Chances are Beard and Jones were correct, because mention of the স্যান্ডউইচ in newspapers predated 1907.
Below is a recipe for the Denver Sandwich from the Food.com website:
