Woolworth Menu from the 50s'

You do realize Darlene someone (not me of course) is gonna ask why you kept that menu.

You no the more i look at this menu , that baked Ham and Cheese toasted three double decker sandwich sounds pretty appetizing

 

Received that in the email, although I do remember the lunch counters at Woolworths well. As a matter of fact they were known for less then appetizing food.
The more I search my memory banks, seems they fed those who couldn't afford to pay. I'll have to look that up.

 

One of my happiest memories with my dad happened at a Woolworth's diner when I was about 8ish. He taught me how to blow the wrapper off a straw like a projectile there. :-D

 

I will take the Baked Ham and Cheese and a Chocolate Milkshake. :-D

 

back then milkshakes actually melted

 

I doubt it would totally melt before I finished it...

 

I remember Woolworth in the 50s very well, My mother worked at the firm and after school i would go down there and sit at the snack bar (i don't remember a restaurant) and wait until she finished work.
The best part was i got free milkshakes and cookies because mum was an employee.
You brought some really nice memories flooding back with this post Darlene.

I remember the horror of Woolworths, ya know when mum drags you down for a whole days shopping.:eek At least a milkshake soothed frayed nerves.

 

I would rather eat yogurt than McD's! Their food McSucks! :-D

 

nope they are all gone

Why is curry so popular with Brits? thought it was a India dish

 

Like Mexican food here huh

 

Are you serious Fred??? What about the McRib??? Where else can you get a Compressed, Meat by product smothered in BBQ sauce in the shape of a small rack of pork ribs. Umm, Umm :drool:-D

 

When I was around 4 to 8 years old my granny would take me to the one in Eugene and we would shop then have lunch,Great memories for me We also went to Newberrys on occasion.I remember I`d buy a whole box of baseball cards.My mom had a garage sale when I was in the Army and mailed me asking if I wanted to sell all of them.I SURE WISH I HADN`T DONE THAT.I had thousands of cards some that would bring a nice price today.Oh and my fave burger is a double western bacon cheeseburger from Carls Jr.:drool

 

On the curry part, could be the Bombay, Mumbai, connection. :-D

 

I have never eaten a McAnything. I refuse to order such. As for a McRib... dude, I live in the south, we GOT BBQ places here! :-D

OOOOh, do they make steak flavored yogurt?

 

Nothing like a pulled pork sandwich

YOGURT - MARINATED SIRLOIN STEAK

1 beef sirloin steak, cut 1" thick (about 2 lb.)
1/2 c. plain low-fat yogurt
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce
1/2 tsp. salt

 

Come on now, that is just cruel. I have to avoid spicy stuff and salt. And you just throw it at me!:cry

 

Historical inheritance from when India was a part of the British Empire in the days of Queen Vicky. A lot of cutural ideas were brought back including curry. Apparently, there are more curry houses in Britain than there are in India.

 

Not just popular in England, either. Plenty of curry joints, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Mexican in just about every food plaza and shopping mall, here in Aust., too.

Prefer to cook my own when I have the time. But there are way different kinds of curries. The Thai Indonesian and Asian curries have little in common with the Indian/Pakistani curries, apart from both being hot and tasting yummy, i.m.o. I cooked yellow chicken curry tonight, (Thai style). :drool - Had Subway steak and cheese Sub for lunch, (yum!) - think I'll pass on the McD's, (yeck!).

 

I love curry (i am a Brit after all) but here in Belgium they are big on Chinese or Pizza.
In Brugge we have 1 Thai restaurant and 2 Indian but maybe 40 Chinese and another 30 pizza outlets.

 

Don't mind a McDonalds, but love curry. Wonder if there'll ever be a McVindaloo?

 

OMG @ McVindaloo!:eek

I'm sorry didn't notice this part before, it came in my email

 

Didn't know Woolworth's was in the UK but remember them here, when my mom and I both worked in the Loop (downtown Chicago) we'd go there for stocking stuffers at Christmas and look at the animated windows at Carson's and Field's, nice memory. Remember the downtown store having a food counter but, don't thing the other stores did.
