What did people eat mostly in the US before McDonald's ?

You are going back a loooong way through time...but I vaguely remember packed lunches while we travelled.

That was usually your fave...peanut butter and jelly... 🤣🤣🤣...or bologna and cheese, bags of chips, and fruit. We would always stop for breakfast, and then my mother would hand out the Rolaids, because we weren't used to greasy food. She kept a baggie full of OTC drugs in her giant bag...🤣.

For dinner we would stop at a family restaurant. I can remember stopping at a Pennsylvania Dutch restaurant, and having Wienerschnitzel for the very first time...probably the last time, too. 🤣

AND...I almost forgot! There were restaurants all along the highway next to the gas stations and rest stops. We ate at those restaurants if there were no better places near our motels.
