Pink BoxThe rest of the case (10)

BEC, baconeggandcheese, bodega sandwich

Bacon, fried or scrambled egg and cheese on bread — in New York City, on a kaiser roll. About 20 grams of fat and 350 calories in a typical one.

Soft wheat biscuits split and covered in a white gravy built on sausage drippings, flour and milk.

breakfast wrap

Breakfast inside a flour tortilla: scrambled egg, potato, cheese, and in the Southwest, New Mexico chile, jalapeño, salsa, onion, chorizo or bacon.

bubble tea, pearl milk tea

Tea with milk and tapioca pearls, sealed under a film lid and drunk through a fat straw.

café au lait, New Orleans coffee

Coffee blended with roasted chicory root and cut half-and-half with hot milk.

drip coffee, the regular, bottomless cup

Drip coffee from a glass pot on a warmer, in a paper cup or a mug, refilled by whoever is at the counter.

eggroll

A cylindrical deep-fried roll in a thick wheat skin — shredded cabbage, chopped meat, sometimes shrimp — eaten with the fingers out of a cellophane packet of duck sauce.

chow mein, the hot case

Cooked rice stir-fried with egg, vegetables and meat, held hot in a steam table beside the donut case — with chow mein next to it in many shops.

klobásník, klobasniky, Texas kolache (as sold)

Sausage — klobása, traditionally — wrapped in kolache dough and baked. Ham, egg, cheese, jalapeño and hot dog are all standard now, and in some Texas shops boudin, the Cajun pork-and-rice sausage.

koláč, kolach, kolaches

A sweet bread with a well of fruit or cheese in the middle of puffy yeast dough — tvaroh, jam, poppy seed, or povidla, which is prune. Baked, not fried.
