A Place For Random Memories

Found this under Connecticut hard roll.....
A Connecticut hard roll is a traditional type of roll with a chewy crust and a light, airy interior, similar to a Kaiser roll, often used for breakfast sandwiches like the popular pepper, egg, and cheese sandwich. While the term "hard roll" is common in the Northeast, particularly in areas like New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, it's important to note that the specific texture can vary depending on the bakery.

From Reddit....
I used to run a group of restaurants that offered various sandwiches on “hard rolls”, and sourcing them outside of New Haven and Fairfield counties was a nightmare.

My research led me to understand that hard rolls originated in New Haven county at the local Italian and Portuguese bakeries. They’re distinguished by the twisted, star-shaped scoring on top and a sprinkle of poppy seeds.

Thanks RR. We had them on Long Island. Imported? No. They were too fresh.

The drink bottles (not pictured) were lined up in rows. Put the money in, then the machine would let you slide one out by hand. I believe these were called slider boxes.

I used to see those once in awhile as a kid. They were great because you could pop off the bottle cap and drink the soda with a straw for free! That's probably whey they stopped using that style of dispenser...:cool:
 
My Dad lived in an apartment. Before modern delivery, he would order a pizza from somewhere, then call the taxi cab company to pick it up. 😎
