Junk food:

I remember as a kid back in the 50's-60's when we went to
Coeur d'alene (sp) Idaho,there was this concession booth at the midway that sold these waffle type things that tasted absolutely great.
They had butter & cinnamon sugar sprinkled on them.

I ate tons of them.

I'll eat anything once....not necessarily twice

Sour Cream and Onion potatoe chips........I just can't resist them. Coffee would be another one, but I don't know if you'd call it junk food.

I grew up in the '60s and have no memories of Playland myself, but my mom talks about it. Her grandmother lived in S.F. and took her there many times as a girl, as did her folks. Mine took me to Fisherman's Wharf and Golden Gate Park on our S.F. trips.

Hmm, think I'll watch TV right now and have some Salt Water Taffy... -TD

They certainly are available here in Australia... And they are real good too.

My personal favorite though, is a purely Australian one.
The Tim Tam.

They tore it down in 1972-73. Ask your mom about Fleishhackers Swimming pool. I used to swim there when I was a kid back in the mid 60's. Now it's the parking lot for the Zoo. At the time, Fleishhackers was the worlds largest outdoor saltwater pool at roughly 1000' (1/5 mile) long and 150' wide at 6 million gallons of sea water. It was cold.

Just made my jerkey w/ extra habenero sauce, so I'm off to munch and burn.
