Groupon Says
The People's History of Mass-Transit Cuisine
While the locomotive dining car has been much romanticized by poets and telenovelas, few know that train cuisine is part of a proud American tradition of vehicle-based eating. Here are a few examples of this rich culinary history:
- The purpose of the original NYC subway system was to preserve shrimp, the most popular food in the world at the time. The roar of the train cars soothed dim-witted decapods into submission.
- Bus Burritos, a fad from the early '80s, were made when riders contributed items from their purses or pockets and wrapped them in tortillas.
- Walt Disney's original plan for Disney World was exclusively centered around his fascination with the monorail's unparalleled skill at crushing thousands of oranges as once. Disney, hoping the massive orange squashing would be cathartic for a country in a post-war malaise, was shocked when opening-night crowds were more interested in the little-known warm-up act, The Country Band Jamboree.
