❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the difference between City Ham and Country Ham?
Answer: City Ham is a lean, wet-cured, and hickory-smoked ham that is relatively mild and tender.12 Country Ham is a dry-cured ham (often saltier and aged longer) that is usually thicker-cut, much bolder, and significantly higher in sodium.13 The Country Ham Biscuits are often listed as a separate, more premium item.
2. Can I add egg and cheese to the City Ham Biscuits?
Answer: Yes, absolutely! Waffle House is famous for customization.14 You can easily add a fried or scrambled egg and a slice of American cheese to your City Ham Biscuits for a small extra charge per topping per biscuit.15
3. Are the biscuits baked or grilled at Waffle House?
Answer: Waffle House’s biscuits are grilled (or griddle-toasted) rather than baked in a conventional oven.16 They are cooked on the flat-top with butter/margarine, which gives them their characteristic crispy, buttery exterior and warm, flaky interior.
4. Are the City Ham Biscuits available all day long?
Answer: Yes. Waffle House is famous for being open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and they serve their entire menu, including the City Ham Biscuits, all day and all night.17
5. Is the City Ham Biscuit a high-sodium meal?
Answer: Yes. The base order of 2 City Ham Biscuits contains approximately 2540 mg of sodium, which is more than the entire recommended daily allowance (18$\mathbf{2300}$ mg) for most adults.19 This is due to the combination of the cured ham and the salty content of the biscuits and margarine.
