Looks like a pretty posh menu compared to what regular working people would have for their diet back then.

But considering the average wage was 10/6 (ten shillings/six pence)for a laborer per week.

Now that's a mental image I won't soon be able to erase...

Yes, and by my calculations, 1 pence from 1913 equals 68.5 cents of today’s American dollars. So about $6.85 for the “Boiled Cod Hollandaise”.

Yeah, the loin or.chump chops had me scratching my head.
But note they also had a fast food “ten minute menu”.

I’ll have the Scotch Broth, followed by the Scotch Broth. To drink, I’ll have the Scotch Broth.

At that time gold was about $20 per troy ounce. FDR devalued the dollar to $35 per ounce.
There are 12 troy ounces to a troy pound. The troy pound is about the same as a pound avoirdupois, which makes a troy ounce greater than an ounce avoirdupois.

Why does British food suck?
