...I have been eating White Castles since I was a little girl of about 4! And I will never forget those lovely things no matter how long I live in England!

...is taken directly from the White Castle website --Which I have only just discovered. And considering it is THEIR site, I figure they can give you the history more concisely than I can, so I am taking it literally from the time line they provide - except where I can make it easier to explain or say or type - NOW, if that doesn’t cover my butt for plagiarism, I give up trying!)

...the late 70’s, I ate White Castles several times and I can’t remember anything negative about them. I actually was very fond of their onion rings and milk shakes. I would go there after a late night out with the ladies and drinking. White castles even back then stayed open late, I believe they had 24-hour service, but no drive through.
