❤😊 People back then saved every bit of lard or bacon grease, to cook with. Awesome to flavor garden vegetables, or foraged greens that you are cooking. Or a pot of beans, or peas, or lentils...
Or root vegetables, or mushrooms. When no meat is available on a regular basis, that flavor is of great value.🥓🥓🥓
My parents grew up in the Depression. MOM born in 1925, Dad in 1919. I'm 60 now. We ate lots of beans, rice, black eyed peasand cornbread. We were comfortable but itwas what they were used to eating .We ate greens as well.My Dad taught me to never waste food. They had known hard times & food rationing during the war. We didn't take food for granted.They knew times when food just wasn't there.
First off, I am a working professional chef, and I have knowledge in food history. Most of these things on this video were part of the human diet before the "Great Depression". I laughed at the indication that "Mrs. Miller" invented the meatloaf out of necessity. When in fact it is difficult to attribute the invention of meatloaf to a single person because the dish has evolved over and has many different versions across cultures. The earliest version of meatloaf may have originated in ancient Rome. A lot of these dishes and drinks were eaten and drank before the "Great depression" and were introduced to colonist by Indigenous Peoples or were recipes passed down culturally. One notable dish that was invented during the American Great Depression was Tomato Soup Cake. It used canned tomato soup as a key ingredient. This cake was promoted through a Campbel's recipe in 1922. The canned soup was incorporated into the cake recipe to eliminate the need of eggs or milk being added to cake. As with any financial hard times, times of war, or even oppression of certain classes of people food insecurity has affected the human species globally. My advice here is limit the junk videos that are made by AI that anyone can type in parameters for clicks. Prepare a meal for a sick or elderly neighbor or invite someone to enjoy a dinner that you cooked with. Donate food or if you have it some money to a local food bank or homeless shelter. America has an abundance of food so find the kindness in your hearts and share. Sorry for the rant.
It didn't say that she invented meatloaf, she came up with a recipe that mixed meat with oats that have been soaked in vegetable water and also added grated potatoes and onions.
My parents got married duri g the depression. She told us the first year they lived on potatoes and sauerkraut. She also told about when she was younger, she and her brother would catch and toast crawdads from a nearby creek, or go to the farmer's market and get barbecued goat.
This is fascinating! I’ve heard of my grandparents foraging for food to feed their young family. I was told of it but never shown.
A pound of dried beans can feed a family for a week. Rice & beans to😂gether make all the amino acids your body needs .you can cook beans easily in a Crock pot. Water, a half onion, and ham hocks or a bit bit of leftover ham. It's cheap eats. I like pintos or navy beans. You can do lima, great northern or black beans if you like . Cornbread is awesome with beans. Just make the recipe on the cornmeal bag. Its an lot better than Jiffy. My Dad loved cornbread with milk on it like cereal
Fascinating, necessity is the mother of invention.
I still use pine needles tea and sassafras root tea is good for whooping cough and the bark put into fireplace fragrant your house, smells lively
📚 This video is definitely worth sharing with others, and keeping for reference. I am getting a notebook and writing things down, because I have a feeling that these economical recipe ideas will soon come in handy ,as times only get harder and more difficult.
Rations, taught us alot ❤
Slaves knew these recipes long before people of the Depression.
Native Indians were the original foragers.
The pictured plants when speaking of Nettles do not match the actual planys, those were nopales, which also have refreshing cactus pears. All delicious foods, if you know how to gather and prepare these nutrient rich plants. Look them up, each one. I am sure there are videos for each item.😊❤
Dock leaves are yummy with garlic
The fiddle fern is tender to eat young
Dandelions are one of the most nutritious plants in the world and they are a wonderful medicine for the heart. There's a reason that the same company that makes Roundup also makes heart ""medications"". They don't want you to use the natural stuff that costs nothing and works better. They want you to use their product that costs a lot!
They did what they had to do to survive.
I have milk weed in my yard. I’ll remember what was said in this video and try some next year’
Grandparents lived thru great depression. They had farms back then, they ate one small meal a day. Some of their friends walk to school in winter, with no shoes.
How did they avoid frostbite?
Is that a garbage plate on the thumbnail???
That is sooooo good!
But not from depression era
Invented in Roch NY!
SURVIVE, NOT SERVIVE!!!
