Sandwiches: the more they change,
the more they stay the same
Left: A classic
menu from FW
Woolworth Co., a
favorite department
store of the author
and countless oth-
ers that became
known for the
sandwiches and ice
cream at its lunch
counter.
BY BETTY KAISER
For the Sentinel
I
spent a large part of my life in
the hospitality business. When
we were in the business, we were
always checking out any new and
different ideas the competition had
to offer—especially sandwiches.
So I suppose it’s perfectly normal
that a former waitress and restau-
rant owner enjoys perusing old
menus.
I was thinking about those res-
taurant menus the other day while
I was putting together lunch for
two. My husband and I had been
working in the yard. It was perfect
weeding weather: cool but dry, the
weeds were tall but the ground still
wet. We looked like piglets that had
rolled in the mud. I was in no mood
to be a creative cook.
At times like that, I stick to sim-
ple: grilled cheese, cream cheese-
peanut butter and jelly, hot dogs,
cottage cheese or canned soup. I
balance the meal out with apple
slices, a couple of cookies, some
iced tea and call it good. At that
point eating is a biological func-
tion. I could care less about prepar-
ing restaurant-style food.
Now this is where the menu
musing came into play. In a rare
moment of sandwich introspection,
I thought that perhaps I should
upgrade my biological function
lunches. Leafi ng through some
old and newer menus I soon real-
ized that (unless you have a private
chef) there’s not much new in the
world of sandwiches.
I grew up in Los Angeles,
where F. W. Woolworth Co. (a
popular fi ve-and-dime store) was
our Target. They sold everything
from dress patterns to pots and
pans, school supplies and picture
frames. They also had a tempting
soda fountain and lunch counter
where my friends and I would go
on weekends to savor a King Size
Coca Cola (6-8 ounces in a Coke
glass) for only 10 cents!
An old Woolworth’s luncheon
menu included the following deli-
cacies on three slices of bread but
you could save 20¢ by ordering the
smaller size. No PB&J or baloney
and cheese was offered!
1. Bacon and tomato toasted 3
decker sandwich—50¢
2. Baked ham and cheese toasted
3 decker sandwich—60¢
3. Chicken Salad toasted 3 deck-
er sandwich—65¢
4. Ham and Egg Salad 3 decker
sandwich 50¢
The big draw at the luncheon
counter was the ice cream:
Deluxe Tulip Sundae with 3 dips
of ice cream and your choice of
toppings—25¢
Super Jumbo Banana Split with
1/2 banana covered with 3 dips of
ice cream and your choice of top-
pings—39¢
Extra Rich Ice Cream Soda with
fresh fruit in season—25¢
Malted Milk with 2 dips of ice
cream (popular fl avors)—25¢
Diners could also enjoy a slice of
apple pie or layer cake for dessert
at 15¢ a cut! An entire lunch was
under $1. Good stuff.
My menus get a little creative if
we’re having company for lunch.
I bake a chicken or small ham for
dinner the night before and use the
leftovers in a fancy sandwich fi ll-
ing. “Fancy” means something we
don’t eat every day: chicken salad,
ham or shrimp salad and deviled
egg salad (mixed with Underwood’s
deviled ham) are my favorites.
Please note: Today’s recipes are
not precise. You’ll have to eyeball
your ingredients to add the right
amounts to your meat. If you like
lots of celery add more, etc. Also,
don’t limit your bread choices to
boring. Serve ham salad on dark
rye bread. Egg salad is good on
small soft rolls. Use these as a
guide. Experiment and enjoy!
