The Wonderful World of Slyders (Sliders)
Slyders – another wonderful “craze” in the Wonderful World of Food!
These little cuties are small sammies – usually served on rolls (dinner roll size) no bigger than 2-inches and filled with anything your little heart desires. When you hear the word “slyder” you automatically vision cute little hamburgers – but it’s much more than that. I guess you can say that the “original” slyders were the White Castles – first introduced in 1921 (from Wichita, Kansas), starting out so innocently. A five-cent small hamburger. A Castle-shaped restaurant. And nothing like it before, or since. A humble 100% beef patty with onions, and a pickle. So easy to eat, it was dubbed the Slider.
In 1926 along comes Maid Rite (from Muscatine, Iowa) – a slyder-style sammie made of loosemeats.
White Castle Slyders are no longer 5-cents each like they were back in 1921 and into the 1940’s, increasing to 10-cents each and slowly grew smaller in size. White Castle periodically ran promotional ads in local newspapers which contained coupons offering five burgers for ten cents, takeout only. What a deal! Now they are at least $3 each – more than a dollar menu item.
These steam-fried cuties are still popular today. They sell well over 500 million per year. And there is an unlimited amount of recipes for slyders out there – anything is possible! Enjoy!
