My grandmother was In The depression as an adult with 3 kids and a husband. My mom was her daughter so When I came along I definitely saw these meals . They were FABULOUS! Thank you mom and nana!!!!
My gma had my aunt in 35 and my mom in 45 (she was an unwanted surprise becuz my gma was awful) She had grown up fairly poor on a farm too So, frugal was their natural state no matter depression, WW or whatever
@@YeshuaKingMessiah that's really sad. Every child is precious, whether planned or not. Children are an inheritance from God to be treated, guarded and loved as such.😊❤
My grandparents used to feed a whole city block in Cleveland Ohio during the depression. Soda bread was the only thing I remember. They were Irish farmers children ousted from their home and country by the British in the 1890's. The depression was starting when they immigrated here. All four blocks of the neighborhood grew and cooked food for each other and themselves. The butcher left extra meat on the bones for the dogs which enriched the stews and still fed the dogs. My dad picked up after the horses that were used for delivery and transportation. He got 12 cents a day which he gave to his mother for food that could not be grown like the bones. He used to tell me, where there's a will, there's a way.
@@betty-jocarlo5980 The potato famine was a myth apparently to cover up the fact that the Brits were confiscating food and trying to starve out the Irish.
Fascinating. My parents were blessed. They grew up on farms in central Indiana. They always had eggs and meat and veggies. My grandpa grew a field of potatoes just for town folk to come out and dig up.
/Hey that is nice...My family told me that at times in the depression they lived on potatoes alone. They boiled them at night and ate the potato peelings in the mornings, fried. Vitamin C in the peelings? At times they would be able to supplement this with an egg. They had dandelions and ate fried bread, like bannock when there was flour.
My paternal grandparents were well off during the depression bc my grandpa worked at Armour Meat Plant as a butcher. He brought home discards and scraps. My grandmother kept a pot of soup on the stove and anyone in the neighborhood who needed a meal was free to drop by for a bowl. Im 75yo.
I was also raised in a poor home. We never realized that people could not have food. We farm and raised our own vegetables. Foraging berries and honey were normal for us. Cows or goats took care of dairy products. I married a man who farms and we love our life.
From-scratch cooking was one of the best things to come out of 2020. People found out they could do it, and once they got the hang of it, they could cook meals in the time they had after getting home from work. Anybody else here think SOS (creamed chipped beef on toast) is awfully similar to Biscuits & Gravy?
SOS = Same Old Stuff. 😊❤ Definitely known as sh*t on a shingle. Can even be done using bacon grease and minced onion, or even the contents of one uncooked sausage link
Chicken fat can be rendered for making gravy, excellent flavor. Also lard. People these days don't value these resources enough. Our ancestors sure did.😊❤
I love dandelion leaf salad. Great with a good vinaigrette dressing, blue cheese crumbles, and some chopped walnuts. I also love "**** on a shingle" as it used to be called.
Backyard gardens can be exposed to whatever someone is spraying on their grass, downwind. Best time to forage is after a good rain, and early in the morning, in my opinion. 😊
Thing is with the poor air quality we have these days from vehicle exhaust etc, I am not too quick to trust any greens grown on the side of the road which is where my brother and I used to dig them back in the '60's-'70's.. I have grown them though ... but mostly for the bees and other critters to have food come early spring .
My mom made lots of soup for us, growing up in the 60s. She was a child of the depression. Potato soup was a regular, and she would put some cut up hot dogs in it. Also would some make a skillet full of fried potatoes and onions, with a few cut up hot dogs. These were kinda day-before-payday meals. Fed all 6 of us kids, plus both parents
Oh my goodness! My grandparents lived through the depression and my mom made all these foods growing up. I had no idea they were from the depression. We were pretty poor, so that makes sense.
My mum ran a shipyard canteen in the 1960s and had to feed hard working men with three meals and snack and tea for £1 each per day. She used so many of these and we as a family lived off the left overs
@@wendydevereux4375 My divorced aunt was one of those cooks too during the 50s and 60s only she went on the coal barges down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to the Mississippi River docks. She would be gone a week and then come home to her own 3 children for a few days. I got the impression she cooked for 10-20 men. Friends, neighbors, relatives, boyfriends all took turns watching the kids till they reached their teens then they were on their own. People worked so hard back then.
Thank you for this video. My husband and I used to eat most of these meals as kids. I will be adding these to our menu to show our children how important it is to eat your food and be thankful for everything we have.
I use chicken broth, udon or sobba noodles, green onion, and if I have it on hand, spinach or kale, and serve it with half of a sliced medium-boiled egg on top: perfection.
About wacky cake I served it to a Bolivian Pastors wife. She asked for the recipe. My understanding is that she used it to make money by selling it helping their monthly budget
I was lucky to get Pennsylvania Ponhaus. It's not scrapple as it's made specifically with pork liver. Oh so good. My family lived around the Penna Dutch.. their slang became part of my lingo. ❤ My mom also added bacon pieces or sausage to our fried cornmeal mush.
In the 70s all the ladies in the neighborhood would gather on a Friday evening for a potluck and some gossip Crazy cake was a popular dessert. I have been making it ever since. It is my kids' favorite cake for me to bake, and they are in their 40s. So easy and cheap, and so flavorful! We like it with powdered sugar sprinkled on top.
@osheafrancis6572 As a child, I never heard of eating slumgullion because we used to sing a revolting song about "McGulligan stew." It was sort of a contest to see who thought up the grossest thing to put in the stew. You might remember it: "Great green globs of greasy grimey cow eyballs, greasy grimey cow eyballs, greasy grimey cow eyballs, floating in McGulligan stew."
Love the recipes, and used very similar tactics when I became a single mother with two children to feed....in fact, I made some of the same things and for the same reasons. I also love the filmography in this video and wonder if I am recognizing the Townsend kitchen from the Jas. Townsend and Son videos featuring recipes and cooking techniques of the 17th and 18th centuries? Great complilation!
I love hot water cornbread, despite that most of my friends prefer it baked. Egg drop soup is common; it was served at a wedding reception I attended last year.
During the Great Depression My grandmother owned an acre of ground and a two bedroom bungalow with basement on an acre of ground. She turned the pony shed into a small one bedroom home for her parents. She was the oldest adult child and she had 9 other siblings. During the Great Depression 13 people, including my mom, her husband, her parents, and their remaining at home children all lived between the two small houses. She had a huge vegetable garden they all chipped in to care for, blackberry and raspberry bushes, plum and apple trees, and they raised chickens, turkeys, and rabbits to eat. She cut three showers into the plumbing in the basement, added a basement toilet, had a bathroom upstairs, and an outhouse, plus a bathroom in her parent's little house. Even the children delivered papers and all pitched in to get by. For as long as I knew her she cooked what she called "stick to your ribs food." The yummy, good, economical food she feed 13 people with during the Depression. I loved hearing the family share their stories of how they got through those very hard times. Hobos repeatedly marked her house with symbols that told other hobos that they could always get a drink and food there. I was very lucky to have raised my own children in the same family home. The family roots and history there was priceless.
I share your videos with friends. Most of them struggle with food costs as I do, tho they are much younger. I do have to admit my poor mom was a terrible cook whose version of slum gullion scarred me, lol. Her spice rack was cinnamon, salt, and pepper, and she used none of them except cinnamon on cinnamon toast, lol. Her slum gullion used ground beef, macaroni, and tomato paste. Salt and pepper were on the table, but you had to ask permission to use them.
Food no matter how humble is supposed to be nourishing and be a good memory. Made with love and tender care. Very sad. I am sure there might have been people that could have shown your mom how to cook, IF she cared to learn.
I swear by my Instant pot. It is an amazing answer that cooks so well in the fraction of the time. You can even do hamburger helper in it in a fraction of the time
My Granny & PaPa raised 4 boys & a daughter during the war when they had ration stamps. When Granny passed 25 years ago my Aunt went through her storage bldg & found some of the ration stamps that she didn’t use. If she didn’t think they NEEDED it, she didn’t use her stamps for those items. They had a healthy garden/farm, cow & chickens & my family hunts. They didn’t go hungry even leaving some stamps unused with a big family. Food was scarce & she knew someone else may need it more than they did. They just don’t make people like they used to.
American Depression era video uses British accent. 😅 And @ 12:50… we called that refrigerator stew. Mom didn’t throw nothing away, not if she could come up with another meal with it. We also ate fried tater skins. She’s the best cook, everybody who knows her, knows that!
My family made Slum Gilliam (Not sure of spelling) we we called it goulash. I still make several of these recipes in my.own kitche n and my grandchildren love them!
I love Johnny Cakes (cornmeal cakes) with syrup. I also like fried bologna with beans. Macaroni and stewed tomatoes is very good, I don't know about adding meat.
Macaroni, stewed tomatoes and hamburger is MY goulash! Love it! 😋 You’re the first person I’ve ever heard of using stewed tomatoes with macaroni besides myself. I’m not crazy about spaghetti sauces but love the simple stewed tomatoes rather. 😃
Given to older babies with soft mushy rice, great toddler food. So is mashed potatos with gravy, homemade of course, from scratch using simple ingredients. 😊
Cooked the right way, you can make a wonderful creamy potato soup with no dairy at all. Old pioneer recipes cooked potatoes, water and tiny bits of dried beef into very tasty creamy soup. It is a slow cook process. Forgot salt added too.
😊❤ Depending on how they are prepared, potatos most definitely can be very creamy. Here is a list of cream soups, prepared in many Mexican homes. Usually from scratch, because it isn't hard. You will need a blender, or handheld blender. Recipes can be found on the internet. I would add one whole potato to some of these, for a creamy texture. Cream of spinach soup, Cream of carrots soup, Cream of mushroom soup, Cream of zucchini soup, Cream of leftover beans soup, Cream of tomatos soup, Cream of potatos soup.
My father in law saw 3 men dividing an cooked egg between them. Perpetual hunger was the norm in those days ,all over the world apart from those that had land . Learn from the past folks,because just like fashion returns full circle,so can poverty. When times are hard you can't eat money. Its land that feeds you !! Get out of the cities and the rat race. Get yourselves a house with a garden. Firget the flowers and start growing vegetables!!
Don't forget the flowers! A lot of them repel pests and can be eaten too, plus you can keep a beehive to make honey. The bees pollinate the vegetable, trees and flowers. Nature uses EVERYTHING that God has provided for us. It is all connected.
Going vegan and not buying dairy or meat and just eating whole foods is the way to go. Not only are we wasting and throwing away rotten food that we haven’t eaten, we are eating out more than ever (despite being broke…😮). Crazy times
@@patriciamckenzie9995--Mom didn't know about Wacky Cake, till she tried some my Aunt made. Then we had it quite a lot, as it was a cheap dessert. We really liked it, though. My father used to work for a utility company. When they went on strike, we had make due with really cheap meals, cause there was no money comming in! Hence, Mac & Cheese, Hot dogs, & a lot of battered cod or Haddock. To this day, I can't stand any kind of battered fish!! And I am 71 yrs old, so that says a lot!
@@patmarkham519 that's me and oatmeal. Our mom made it every morning of the year, very few exceptions. At age 15 I just couldn't eat it anymore. Now many decades later, I still don't care for it. Besides breakfasts mom was a most excellent cook. 😊
Imagine a single mom trying to hold down a job, take her two kids to day care and being expected to cook all this while managing everything else. Not realistic.
It is all about planning. Do a time assessment of where every minute of your day goes. Once you honestly look at your time you can plan and be more efficient. Include the children in the process. Double recipes and freeze the extra for later in the week. Cook a whole chicken for multiple recipes and literally pick the bones clean. It is all about what your priorities are. There are so many good recipes on line for great nutritious inexpensive food.
I did it, with God’s help 2 kids , cleaned houses all day Picked kids up from school Helped with homework, took a walk with kids ,did laundry, made dinner, dishes Then bath time and off to bed Every day It can be done.❤
Love the recipe ideas hate the music ! Three same keys played over and over …. I don’t like to complain but it hurt my head- it was a bit like torture. I tried turning off the sound but it was hard to take notes and read. Otherwise , thank you .

My father in law saw 3 men dividing an cooked egg between them. Perpetual hunger was the norm in those days ,all over the world apart from those that had land . Learn from the past folks,because just like fashion returns full circle,so can poverty. When times are hard you can't eat money. Its land that feeds you !! Get out of the cities and the rat race. Get yourselves a house with a garden. Firget the flowers and start growing vegetables!!
Don't forget the flowers! A lot of them repel pests and can be eaten too, plus you can keep a beehive to make honey. The bees pollinate the vegetable, trees and flowers. Nature uses EVERYTHING that God has provided for us. It is all connected.
These recipes may save money, but we don’t fry foods that much anymore!!! We’re in the doctors enough as it is!!
shit; I lived in the 1970s as a kid in rural Minnesota, we literally went fishing for bullheads for dinner most days of the week. that was poor.
Where can you get these recipes?
by searching in google
You can Google it and get 20 videos each.
Going vegan and not buying dairy or meat and just eating whole foods is the way to go. Not only are we wasting and throwing away rotten food that we haven’t eaten, we are eating out more than ever (despite being broke…😮). Crazy times
Put coke a cola icing on it and omg what a treat.stop getting cake at the store .
I hate throwing out food! Disgraceful what people in the country throw away!
A few years ago, I started vacuum sealing left over food. I was shocked at how much I saved and that I didn't need to put out the trash as often.
Spam was a staple also.
I would have preferred more time spent on how to make the various recipes rather than how much I could theoretically save.
I can't listen to that redundant background music
It's spelled survive, nor servive.
Momma cooked meatloaf often
You misspelled SURVIVE in the title of this video.
These prices due not include energy cost. 🤔 hmm
Uhm hot water cornbread is cooked in hot water this is fried cornbread . It’s made totally different
SURVIVE!
24:28 meat drippings, huh? Okay, if you insist. Most of us use sausage. Where you from? I’m getting a British vibe here..🤔
These savings you talk about ridiculous.
Wacky Cake is ok but real cake is more luscious and satisfyingly dense
I grew up eating the wacky cake. It's wonderful. Moist and yummy. We used it as a snack cake😊
@@patriciamckenzie9995--Mom didn't know about Wacky Cake, till she tried some my Aunt made. Then we had it quite a lot, as it was a cheap dessert. We really liked it, though. My father used to work for a utility company. When they went on strike, we had make due with really cheap meals, cause there was no money comming in! Hence, Mac & Cheese, Hot dogs, & a lot of battered cod or Haddock. To this day, I can't stand any kind of battered fish!! And I am 71 yrs old, so that says a lot!
@@patmarkham519 that's me and oatmeal. Our mom made it every morning of the year, very few exceptions. At age 15 I just couldn't eat it anymore. Now many decades later, I still don't care for it. Besides breakfasts mom was a most excellent cook. 😊
When you are starving, you are blessed to have anything to fill your stomach
Interesting info, but the piano in the background playing the same three chords repeatedly is a no-go. Couldn't finish the video. 😕
This channel is AI, right? It’s uncanny
Is there any recipes
Plenty, if you look them up.
I here 45 cent for eggs. Lol they need two update this because eggs are 7 dollars for 18 count of eggs lol 🤣😊
per egg
In the depression era eggs were .45 a dozen.
Prices seem to vary quite a bit, depending on area.
Survive
That's what this is all about. 😊
Where are the recipes?
Imagine a single mom trying to hold down a job, take her two kids to day care and being expected to cook all this while managing everything else. Not realistic.
What? Boiling beans in a pot and pouring boiling water over cornmeal? 😂😂😂 ❤
It is all about planning. Do a time assessment of where every minute of your day goes. Once you honestly look at your time you can plan and be more efficient. Include the children in the process. Double recipes and freeze the extra for later in the week. Cook a whole chicken for multiple recipes and literally pick the bones clean. It is all about what your priorities are. There are so many good recipes on line for great nutritious inexpensive food.
Some folks cook on the weekend, and warm up portions, as needed. Certainly saves time.
I did it, with God’s help
2 kids , cleaned houses all day
Picked kids up from school
Helped with homework, took a walk with kids ,did laundry, made dinner, dishes
Then bath time and off to bed
Every day
It can be done.❤
@@jennifernash3549👌 it was satisfying and rewarding in the end, wasn't it? May you always be blessed 🙏
The enslaved in America did this for over 400 hundred years so I find irony that depression era families think they invented something new. 🙄😂😂😂
Love the recipe ideas hate the music ! Three same keys played over and over …. I don’t like to complain but it hurt my head- it was a bit like torture. I tried turning off the sound but it was hard to take notes and read. Otherwise , thank you .
And I’m not going to put lye in my food!
Servive?
???
greed much greed.
Need, much need. Poverty and much poverty. Facts. 😊❤
