Period Breakfast menu

[JerryD]

Welcome to Barnun's Hotel, Baltimore, 1863. Breakfast is served. I'll take some cold tongue, stewed tripe, and oh..., yes, some stale bread. Yummy.

Lots of food. But many not my taste.

 

[Booklady]

Breakfast wines?!

Breakfast wines?!

Most of these we would call dessert wines. The Sauterne is a very heavy, very sweet, (and very expensive) white wine. Incidentally, I have actually had Sauterne in Baltimore.

Fish balls for me….. I think. How would it take to fill me up?

It is an impressive spread. Tripe seems to be a popular choice, as you can get it fried, broiled or stewed.

None for breakfast, thanks!
Lunch...yeah!

Interesting menu choices. Omelette with ham/fine herbs sounds like a good start to the day.

 

[Coffeelover]

I'll take a cup of coffee please!

On business trips to Japan, every morning we had salad. Was either that- or fish and noodles.

Here's an antebellum look at the hotel

They sure didn't seem to let any part of the animal go to waste back then. Lots of parts I wouldn't care to eat to tell you the truth…

I can remember going to the Publix deli and my mother buying a half pound or so of boiled cold cow tongue . We ate it with mustard cheese on rye bread yummy … I've had pickled pigs feet and smoked salmon. We used to also have fried salt mackerel and grits for breakfast.

Nothing says surf and turf like some oyster stew and grouse.

I´ve had tongue sliced and piled high on a sandwich roll with mustard. I remember it having a very dense texture and distinctly meaty taste. I would order it again in a hot minute.
I accidentally ordered barbequed chickens feet in a Dim Sum place. (How do you order something accidentally? The room was a bit loud. I don´t hear very well and the waitress with the cart was cute as a button. I didn´t hear a word she said.) I tried. I really tried to eat them, but I couldn´t. I got a chicken´s foot up to my lips, but they curled backwards of their own volition and would not get any closer to the item. I hated leaving them on the plate because I came from a family where a lot of stories started with ¨Back in the Depression¨ but I just had to leave those feet behind.

We were in Daytona Beach. Daddy was a depression baby (1931) but he never made us eat chicken feet. Sardines and eggs with onion yes . I've had turtle stew but not terrapin, bet it would have been good!!
