Sounds to me like breakfasts in Darby were far better. In 1966, we did not eat at restaurants much. 60 years ago, this March, it would have been boarding-school breakfast, every day, until end of May. Then, after that, we had garbage-type western dry cereal, if we could stomach that, which I usually could not, including that disgusting shredded wheat, fit for cattle or something. So, mostly it was far better to heat up leftovers from the refrigerator, whatever was left from the previous dinner, and pork chops reheated was good, or some sort of Italian noodle thing, maybe lamb, etc. Reheated food always tastes better, and there is a good reason why. Yes, we had scrapple, sometimes, but usually it was sausage that was packaged in those large plastic tubes from which you could slice off 2-inch diameter discs and fry those in an electric pan. No coffee or tea, then, of courrse. We did not drink carbonated beverages much or probably ever, for breakfast. That meant fresh orange juice, which was usually disgusting, since it probably came from frozen orange matter at the filler. There were no coffee shops or small breakfast restaurants where we lived, since we were in the burbs. You would need to drive one mile to the nearest RR Station to find a breakfast counter, in fact.
