Canadian breakfast bar food

caddir

Hi,

I went for breakfast as a special treat with my son, we meet up every month in Manchester, but the restaurant has no nutritional values, and it isn't British food so I'm at a loss.

Can anyone suggest what potatoes hash might be. I could see onions and bacon and what looked like smoked sausage. The portions were fairly generous but I have no idea how to count it.


Any help would be appreciated, especially from our friends across the pond.

You're never going to get exact, so sometimes we have to improvise.

Do you mean hash browns?
As a Mancunian living in Canada potato hash is a meat, potato, and veg stew eaten for dinner, hash browns are little bits of potato fried and eaten for breakfast.
I HOP a chain restaurant has them as 1 6oz serving 320 cal. That sounds pretty average to me.
Hope that helps,
cheers, h.

What I ate yesterday I thought was potato hash, but it certainly wasn't a stew. I had thought hash browns were little patties of some sort whereas this was just a mixture (I think) of fried onions, potatoes, jalapenos, herbs, etc.

I suppose part of my difficulty is that I have no idea how much of it there was, I just guessed at three times what a portion *should* be! I logged all the other bits (the eggs, the halloumi, etc but not the toast and butter because I didn't eat that {shines halo}

Hash is one of those things that it is anyone's guess, because the person cooking it just throws stuff into it. I would suggest recording each thing you see in the hash and determine the amount by estimating the percentage of the overall quantity of food.
