After wandering all afternoon at America's Stonehenge, we decided to stop for a late lunch/dinner before heading home. Still in Salem, New Hampshire, Teague found Mary Ann's diner.
a fun 1950s style diner
with great tunes playing over a loudspeaker
Ice cream was going to be the order of the day. Teague had a chocolate frappe (rhymes with rap). It's what other places call a 'shake or milkshake. Except here in New England, a shake is just milk and flavoring. A frappe has milk, flavoring, and ice cream. This one was served in a cute mason jar mug with a dollop of whipped cream.
I had a boring unsweetened iced tea with lemon
a BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomato) with sweet potato fries (chips)
and, a hot fudge sundae. I told you ice cream was going to be involved.

That sundae looks most indulgent ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt was 😊
DeleteDiners like that really amuse me. Your photos have a great retro vibe, especially those metal and formica chairs. Great post! The words “frappe” and “shake” should be on the list of regional differences that mark one’s speech.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Frappe is one of those words that only us old folks use. Like Tonic, the word for soda, is no longer used.
DeleteWow, your meal is spectacularly yummy! I might have to mix and match though - you have all my favourites today, so I'm having a chocolate frappe, a BLT sandwich and sweet potato fries - delicious 😊. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteGood choice!
DeleteIt's only 10:30AM and I want this for breakfast! 🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteIt works! 🤣
DeleteI bet that was a fun place, totally retro….wonder what the “ future generations “ will think of the restaurants out here in 2024 🙀😺‼️💙🐟
ReplyDeleteSeems like the "future generations" DoorDash 🤣
DeleteEverything looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteI can see sweet potato fries in my near future. :)
They are a nice change of pace
DeleteNow I NEEd ice cream, I really do. Would it be bad t have an ice now, it's nearly time for bed! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteFor me, if the weather is warm, ice cream never hurts no matter what time.
DeleteI love mid-century modern and this diner did it for me. If the prices are the same as they were online, it was amazingly inexpensive to eat there. Even cheaper than Wichita prices. You may have had a boring iced tea, but I enjoyed reading about the frappe. Thanks for sharing your BLT, sweet potato fries, ice cream sundae, and drinks with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ.
ReplyDeleteEven better than the prices, the food was really good, too
DeleteThe diner looks like fun, the ice cream yummy. I had to go back and check out the Stonehenge info. I wasn't aware of it. Looks like an amazing place.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of America's Stonehenge, either. It was a fun touristy place to stop
DeleteThat sundae looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It was really warm outside so the ice cream was especially delicious
DeleteThe retro diners are fun. I had no idea a milkshake wasn't the same thing all over the country.
ReplyDeleteLearn something new every day. And if you ever find yourself in Rhode Island, they call a 'shake a cabinet. I have no idea why
DeleteThat looks like a fun diner. And any meal that includes ice cream is my kind of meal. :) Sundaes or frappes work. Hope it was a great T day. Did you get rain?
ReplyDeleteWe got a little bit of rain. It wasn't as much of a washout as first predicted.
DeleteHmmmm, looks like a fun-yum place!
ReplyDeleteIt is
DeleteI think i would have been shake all the way! But i never turn down icecream so i would have enjoyed yours too... Happy Belated T day! Hugs! deb
