Green Parrot Inn: Apple Sauce

Tena May Dowd's Green Parrot Inn served family-style all-you-can-eat fare. The entree was the only dish ordered. Ten minutes after being seated, the entrees were set down by one busboy, and another filled the remaining space on the table with serving bowls of Spanish rice, cottage cheese, green beans flavored with bacon and onion, mashed potatoes with cream gravy on the side, and a homemade applesauce that contained Jonathan apples, sugar and water.
