1963 menu from The Concord Hotel

WTF is a vegetarian chopped liver luncheon?

Ugh. A lot of 50s/early 60s fare there. So glad we have had a culinary evolution and gotten rid of things like "jellied consomme."

They only serve lunch and dinner for an hour?

"skiing" at the concord.

I assume guests ate quickly so they could catch the after dinner show.

Oy.

My husband went bobsledding there once with the young Liza.

Some of the offerings really sound dreadful. We've had other vintage menu threads going back to the 1930s and those menus weren't quite this Ick.

The Catskill resort we went to was a place with a few cabins and mom was the chef of our cabin. There was only was seating for each meal and you ate what you were given. It was fun times.

so, R9, not a "resort"

It's Linzer torte not "tart."

I'm surpised they offered a Linzer torte/tart.

In Brooklyn, they're called Linzer tarts.

What's with the odd Chinese dishes thrown in? Egg Fu Yung? Chicken fried rice?

Fuck ignorant Brooklyn.

The children's menu. Not a chicken finger in sight!

R15, that's where most of the hotel guests were from, stupid.

^^and the Bronx.

r17 Then fuck them and you.

R19, I hope you heal one day.

There's a reason people don't go out for Jewish cuisine.

I went there a few times for school-related activities in the early 80s. It was a rundown dump by then. It was also there where I learned Jews can’t have meat and dairy at the same meal. The waiter was horrified when I asked for butter for my potatoes and roll.

I'll bet they ran out of the "Saute of Calves Liver, Smothered Onions" right quick! Those kids were probably chomping at the bit for that entree!

Chinese Style Spaghetti with Simmered Chicken Strips? 🤔🤨

Chicken Lo Mein

In what world is Apple Juice an Appetizer? Yuck. Ick. Nasty food.

R26 in the 60s fruit juice or fruit cocktail were common appetizers. Very few lardasses back then scarfing down a 2000 calorie Blooming Onion.

Is Lemon Chiffon Pie the same as Lemon Meringue Pie? I'd like a slice right now.

r29 I absolutely wondered the same thing.

[quote]WTF is a vegetarian chopped liver luncheon?

Something I never, ever want to hear about again.

I love Jewish cuisine!

Gimme Jewish deli any time!!!

Where are the chicken fingers and buffalo wings?

Agree r33 though they are few and far between these days.

This menu isn’t Jewish deli though, just Kosher food prepared for hundreds of people.

I was kind of replying to R21. I love Jewish deli food and, yes, unfortunately, Jewish delis are few and far between.
