Some interesting things on these menus…
Pineapple cole slaw!
Grape nut custard?
Toss n Turn Salad?
They all sound good, but I’ve never seen them on menus… : )
A custard by any other name..
These menus always bring me immediately back to my childhood home – some of these “old style’ dishes made me happy to run home for supper – others made me sit at the table all by myself- determined not to finish whatever I had deemed disgusting. I’m assuming grapenut custard is the same as grapenut pudding- a dessert staple in our house and very ‘custard like”. They also used to serve it at the Woolworth’s luncheonette counters with a tiny dollop of whipped cream. It was one of those desserts my siblings and I would eat if there wasn’t any other offering.
Pineapple coleslaw! One of my favorite ways to make coleslaw. The sweetness of slivers of fresh pineapple compliments the tang of the coleslaw. It can also be made caliente’ by adding some crushed red pepper, a little lime juice and a teensy pinch of ginger. I’m pretty sure there’s no “heat” being added to it at the Senior Center. 🙂
food glorious food
The menus also remind me of school lunch menus. I can picture little boxes of milk.
I’ll have to try the pineapple coleslaw. I like slaw and pineapple, so mixing them makes sense. I’ll try the hot version, too. That sounds delicious.
