Last week at a local Chinese restaurant, typical lunch special with egg drop soup, plus a separate appetizer (dumpling), and an ice tea, with 20% tip: $33.45

Tomato stuffed with salmon salad sounds delicious.

I absolutely adore old menus like this. It’s so fun seeing what foods and combinations of said foods were eaten in different time periods. Early 1900s are always my favorites since they are recent enough to have recognizable foods and ingredients, but are frequently not in combinations or cooked with methods common today!

Why isn’t there a tomato stuffed with salmon salad waiting for me at lunch?????
That sounds light and delicious! I must try one this summer.

TF is a Denver Sandwich?

I’ve eaten there. Had thanksgiving dinner there once back in the 90s when I was stationed in Great Falls, the menu had changed a bit by then.
I find it interesting that what I would consider fairly luxury food items like crab, lamb, and salmon are being served for nearly the same price as a cheese sandwich with vegetables.

Wow they had crab. The logistics on them seem expensive.

Apple pie with cheese is the bomb.
