MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
      2    Egg yolks
    1/2 c  Beer
      2 tb Butter
      3 c  Grated sharp Old English or

  The Springfield Horseshoe Sandwich was created at the
  Leland Hotel in 1928 by Joe Schweska and Steve Tomko. For
  years the only recipe that existed was "a pinch of this
  and a little of that."
  
  It wasn't until a Christmas edition of the State Journal
  Register in 1939 that Chef Schweska finally revealed the
  secret. The name "horseshoe" was derived from the shape
  of the cut of ham used in the original sandwich. The
  French fries represent the nails of the shoe and the
  sizzle platter represents at hot anvil.
  
  The sandwich is made by laying two pieces of toast on a
  pre-heated platter, then placing the meat on the toast,
  covering the entire sandwich with cheese sauce, circling
  the platter with French fries. Add a dash of paprika for
  color and you have created a horseshoe.
  
  As a result of the popularity of the original ham version,
  Chefs Schweska and Tomko produced endless variations
  including ham and egg, all egg, hamburger, ham and chicken
  chicken, bacon, shrimp, turkey, corned beef.
  
  The possibilities are limited only by the chef's
  imagination. While the ingredients can vary from the
  original, all the experts (and there are many of them)
  agree that the key is the sauce.
  
  The secret is a sharp Old English Cheddar or a good Colby
  Longhorn cheese, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco for the
  adventurous.
  
  The Sauce Is The Thing:
  
  Beat the egg yolk and beer together. Melt the butter and
  cheese over boiling water, stirring in one direction only
  with a wooden spoon.
  
  Add the seasonings. Stirring constantly, add the beer and
  egg mixture a little at a time. Keep the mixture piping
  hot as you stir; but don't let it bubble. Constant
  stirring and the very best cheese will yield a smooth,
  uncurdled mixture.
  
  Note: A smaller sandwich, using only 1 slice of toast, is
  a Ponyshoe.
