Searching for Found Old Harvey's Department Store Recipe
Friday January 16, 2009
We received an email this week last year asking if anyone remembered Harvey's Department Store, in the fifties, serving creamed chicken on eggbread and if anyone has the recipe?
While we're still hunting for this particular recipe, one of our viewers was also hunting for Harvey's Apple Pie recipe and that has been found!(Thanks to Chip C.!) We would surely appreciated being able to pass this recipe along, so if you know it or anyone that has the recipe or any information on it please Contact Us Here or you can always just post a reply below.

Chicken on eggbread (an old southern treat)
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings
2 cup Corn meal
½ teaspoon Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
2 Eggs
1 cup Buttermilk
1 teaspoon Baking powder
6 tablespoon Fat or lard
Slicked cooked chicken; (I chop it up)
3 tablespoon Minced onions
3 cup Chicken broth
3 tablespoon Minced celery
¼ cup Cream
½ cup Butter
Salt and pepper to taste
5 tablespoon Flour
1 dash Nutmeg
SAUCE Combine all ingredients except chicken. Pour into a well-greased pan and bake in 350 degrees oven for 25 minutes. Cut in squares and split. Place slices of chicken on bread and serve hot with sauce. SAUCE: To make sauce, saute onion and celery in butter. Stir in 5 tablespoons flour until blended. Add chicken broth. Cook (stirring constantly) until thick. Add cream and season to taste with salt, pepper and a dash of nutmeg. Note: I sometimes use a cornbread mix rather than use the recipe. I also use the sauce recipe as a guide but will vary the amount of broth, etc. according to what I have on hand. For example, I always use less butter than the recipe calls for.

Thanks Patty!
I do not remember that recipe, but how I remember Harveys. I even had to call Fred Harvey Jr. to ask about the man who took care of me every Friday while my grandmother shopped, would ride the carosel horses and Max, the German man who was always in black slacks, white shirt and black tie and his cap, was so special and I rode for 10 cents. On our way out, we would stop at the bakery and get that incredible best ever German Chocolate Cake and it would be put into a blue box with the Harvey’s logo and tied with the blue string! The restaurant downstairs was nice also. I could not wait for Friday’s! And the chimes in the winter out above the sidewalk. It breaks my heart to see what they have done to downtown.
I would love to have the old Harvey’s department store’s Apple Pie recipe if anyone has it. I remember going into town with my grandma and having our lunch when I was a small child. I guess at that age you just always think that places like that would stay forever so that you too could take your children.
Lori,
I’ll make sure to post it if I find it,
Jan
