I loved them. Of course, wimp that I am, I would peel off and throw away the chili. The chili residue was enough. I'm pretty sure it wasn't an onion roll, though, 'cause I wouldn't have liked that. I seem to remember it was an egg bread sesame seed roll. Sort of a mini challah.
I miss the Denny's Deluxe. Roast beef, cheddar cheese, and tomato slices on grilled sourdough. I make a faux version on a Garlic Cheddar ThinKrisp that's to die for.
Another "repast from the past" I miss are the Kentucky Fried Chicken ribs. OMG they were good. I remember picking them up on the way to the drive-in movies.
My most missed Disneyland foods are actually drinks. In Adventureland, Sunkist I Presume had a Tropical Punch concoction. On Main Street you could get freshly made OJ at Sunkist's storefront, and in Fantasyland, you could stop at the Welch's stand and get a (plastic) glass of grape juice. This was a necessary part of viewing the fireworks from Captain Hook's Galley, after you ran like a maniac from the Train Station Steps where you just watched the Main Street Electrical Parade.
