Some Nostalgia –
An old Menu dated Friday the 30th March 1945 of A FIRPO LTD CATERERS, CALCUTTA.
A 3 Course Luncheon Spread with Coffee costed just 2 Rupees and 12 Annas only. The Diner was
also given a choice of soups and starters while …the Main Course featured Seafood, Meat and
Poultry. The Luncheon was rounded off with a Dessert, Some Fruit and a Cup of Coffee!! Truly a
feast for a King.
The old dishes mentioned on the Menu are not served in any Resturant today.

thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes. Having grown up on anglo indian food served in Naval messes, school lunches and of course the Club, I really miss those gorgeous mutton curries that ran thin and were spiced just right, the yellow rice and meat balls, the spaghetti with mince…..and I can go on and on and on.
