re: Why do New Yorkers think a Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich is some specifically NYC thing?

But the supply of bacon , egg, and cheese Taco's are in limited supply

I’ve spent many, many nights in NYC. I’ve never heard of a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich as being a peculiarly New York thing.

It’s bc you’re only spending nights there. It’s a morning thing.

Ode to the Buttered Roll, That New York Lifeline

They put butter on a roll and write articles in the New York Times sucking their own dick about how awesome and “uniquely New York” it is.

So no. I’m not surprised they think they either invented or perfected the bacon egg and cheese sandwich.

People in Moscow think crepes were invented in Russia ignoring that they were probably brought with the French nobility who lived there.

Goes both ways. When you hear “Bistro” you think outdoor cafés in Paris. But the word is actually Russian, after Russian troops in Paris in the 1800’s would yell at French waiters “Bistro! Bistro!”, which IIRC means “faster”.

Didn’t know that. It was surprising to me how much France and Russia influenced each other.

The etymology is unclear. The Dictionnaire de l'Académie française dates the word from the 19th century term, bistro, "innkeeper", and suggests that it may be linked to the Poitevin word bistraud ("little servant"), or to bistrouille ("cheap liquor"). It recommends the spelling "bistrot" in preference to "bistro".[6]
The word was used to describe a drinking establishment, estaminet or small popular local restaurant[6] where alcoholic beverages were served. This is also what Emile Zola called an "assommoir" in his famous novel, L'Assommoir.[7]
In the early part of the 19th century, the term "gargote" signified a basic style of restaurant,[n 2] but the term "bistro" or "bistrot" is not recorded until towards the end of the century. An early appearance of the term in print is in Les deux gosses by Pierre Decourcelle, published in 1880.[n 3]
A popular folk etymology, not attested by the Dictionnaire de l'Académie française, claims that the word originated among Russian troops who, following the Battle of Paris in March 1814, occupied the city and visited these tiny places to drink a coffee. They might have shouted bistro! bistro! (Russian: ??????, lit. 'quickly') when they wished to be served quickly. This etymology has been dismissed by linguists, because there is no attestation to the occurrence of the term until the late 19th century.[10]
