Old menus are always a lot of fun; they are like a low-tech time machine. I was looking at a website devoted to the history of Mt. Lowe, a former resort above Pasadena, when I found these menus.
It does seems that tongue was more popular 100 years ago than it is now, and while some of the beverages are familiar: Budweiser, Blueribbon -- what was White Rock, or A. B. C., or Rainier, or Acme? And, while I am wondering about things, I wonder what "Half and Half Toast" was.
