Prices are soaring and there is no end in sight! Wouldn't it be nice to go back in time to do our buying? Even restaurants were affordable back in the day.

I worked two full time jobs to help put my kids through school. One of those jobs was Woolworth's.
1. Did you ever eat at Woolworth's?
Yes! When I was growing up we lived in a small city in the far north of my province. There weren't many restaurants. In fact, I only remember 3, Woolworth's, a Chinese restaurant and a cafe at the local Co-op. There was also a Dairy Queen but I think it was only open in summer as a take out place selling ice cream items only and we also had a KFC which in those days was called Kentucky Fried Chicken or Chicken Village. There may have been more restaurants but I don't remember them. Anyway, back to Woolworth's. Mother took me and my siblings (3 of us in those days) to town once in awhile and it was a treat because she took us to Woolworth's for lunch. I don't think we ate anything other than French Fries with gravy and a Coca Cola but it was always treat. I remember these days very fondly.
2. What would you order from this menu?
Definitely the French Fries and gravy and maybe on occasion a Hamburger Platter.
3. Woolworth's had banana splits and sundaes. Do you like sundaes? What kind?
I love both banana splits and sundaes. If I order a sundae it is usually a strawberry sundae and sometimes I ask them for 2 toppings (strawberry and pineapple or strawberry and chocolate).
4. What restaurants are you favorites and what do you usually order?
I enjoy all kinds of food but when I go out I normally have Asian food, either Vietnamese or Japanese. I order Vietnamese House Special Soup (with the works) and Prawn Salad Rolls. Sometimes I order a bowl with noodles, peanuts, shredded carrots and celery, and topped with deep fried spring rolls and grilled skewered pork. At the Japanese restaurant I order a Bento Box usually with beef or chicken teriyaki and mixed tempura along with miso soup, salad and California roll.
I also crave 'Western Food' now and then but there are extremely few places to get it these days. I'm talking about places with menu items similar to the old Woolworths and then some. I like having pork chops, mashed and veggies or something like soup and sandwich.
Last but not least, I love some good Mediterranean food like Chicken Souvlakia, roasted lemon potatoes, Green Salad, and middle eastern vegetarian dishes and foods like Chicken Tagine. I'm thinking of making a Tagine later this month for my brother's birthday dinner.
