When you’re so poor these are the common dishes you grew up with and still make as an adult... My Grandpa served as a UDT in WWII. They’re now known as Navy Seals. He always called the chipped beef over toast “shit on a shingle” which was another term used by soldiers in WWII.
As a military brat of an enlisted airman, we ate “shit on a shingle” way too often for my taste but it was a way for my parents to to stretch the budget. I know other adult brats who find eating it nostalgic. I, personally, can’t bear the thought of it. 🤢
I grew up with the fruit cocktail/whipped cream dessert. We didn't freeze it or put egg yolks in it. We did add coconut when we could afford it, sometimes walnuts. We loved it!
your thinking of ambrosia. usually it does not have fruit cocktail in it but pineapples, mandarin oranges, cherries, coconut, whipped cream, and sour cream.i still make it and still love it
@@matemahe what disgusting ambrosia are you talking about? i have never added mayo in any ambrosia i have ever made. i even changed from using cool whip to real whipped cream because cool whip is nothing but oil. no it is just whipped cream, sour cream, pineapple tidbits, mandarin oranges, maraschino cherries, coconut, and mini marshmallows.
Ambrosia Salad is famous in the south. It's been around since the 1890s, way before Cool-Whip. I was never fond of it, but just like any recipe that old, it's got lots of versions.
Maybe I am just old fashioned having learned to cook from 3 generations of women in my family but half of these recipes were never considered outdated in my family. Oh and btw SOS does not mean same old stuff.
This video is made by "BabbleTop". The definition of babble is...talk rapidly and continuously in a foolish, excited, or incomprehensible way. Good food is always good, and I agree about SOS. My dad ate it in the Army right after WWII and never called it Same Old Stuff. I made a comment here about its better-known name.

@Idontknowwhattonamemyselfhelp breakfast hell!! I eat it for dinner many times a month now!! I’ll usually make it to have for breakfast but when using the large jar of dried meat, it makes a good size pot of gravy do I eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner till it’s gone.

My grandmother would pick the baby leaves of dandelions and cook them up, sprinkle some vinegar and eat them and she would roll spoonfuls of cold mashed potatoes in white flour with salt and pepper and fry them till brown an crispy on both sides. Those were a couple of her depression recipes. She also made a very good lemon meringue pie and a applesauce cake that was really good.
The potato recipe reminds me of a Cuban version that has ground beef and seasonings in the middle of the ball of mashed potatoes and then fried. So delicious.
Hi, Pat :). My momma picked those weeds and made us dinner and grandma made the pancakes from the mashed taters. So good. This was back in the 70s... but we were on tight budget.
Forgot to mention, my father (WWII army) taught me to make this when I was seven. I had no idea he'd taught me to make a proper roux until I got seriously into learning the art of cookery in my teens.
@@pawzforthought When I was in hs in PA it was part of the regular cafeteria meal rotation. My favorite meal was fish sticks with macaroni and stewed tomatoes, which they provided on Friday to serve Catholics.
@@robertfeinberg748 Ah, fish stick Fridays. The only positive thing about being raised a Catholic as far as I was concerned. It was the only edible thing our cafeteria served.
WOW you just described my WHOLE childhood of foods. Growing up in the Appalachian mountains we still plant and grow our own foods,can and freeze. My favorite childhood sweet was a pennywise cake with a chocolate sauce. My Great Grandmother made a buttered jar cake in mason jars.🥰🥰🥰
@@lanajohnson8424 I started canning years ago and haven't stopped yet. Still coming up with new recipes. Have canned my version of V8 juice, zucchini with onions, peppers and tomatoes, and made pear butter instead of apple butter. My parents grew up during the Depression, so I heard how they survived. Got an indoor garden under LED grow lights and chickens for eggs and meat. BTW, I'm from West Virginia.
gingerbread cake w warm lemon sauce....an occasional before bed treat after the bath. woodburning stove, big tub in front for us kids to take our baths, warm flannelette nightgowns and pjs.. my mom worked like a dog , everything had to be hauled, lugged, boiled, emptied, keeping the stove fed, chopping kindling, washing clothes outside in a double boiler and another tub w rinse water, wringing sheets out by hand , using a scrub board and a big bar of lye soap to do laundry, ironing everything, heating the iron up on the stove......this was in the '50's ..rural logging community. we are not that far from no mod cons. we thought we won the lottery when mom got a ringer to do laundry.
I'm 59 and my mom was born in 1920. Consequently, she grew up on a lot of these foods and when she got married to my father she continued to cook like that. I very recently realized that I grew up with those foods and also cooked like that for years. In other words, my daughters (in their 30s now) grew up on depression foods.
Just like Stone Soup. Bring a big pot of water to a simmer. Add a small stone or 2. Everyone who comes over brings an onion, or a carrot, or stalk of celery, tomato, potato, whatever, and adds it to the stone broth. The more people, the better the stone soup tastes.
You know what's crazy? Louisiana (my home) is known as one of the best places for food. What people don't know, is that most of our cuisines have originated from the poor. Jambalaya, Gumbo, Boudin, are all foods made with multiple fillers to stretch meat into meals. Rice is a huge part of our culture. Almost everything includes rice because it is filling, plentiful, and cheap.
I've always felt that meat shouldn't be the main part of your meal usually. Instead it should've stretched into a main dish or should be more of a side dish. Except occasionally like a big barbecue or something. I've always felt this way even before it became popular to do so. Now if only I was better at actually doing that. Instead of just eating the side dish or the meat. I once accidentally forgot to cook anything but the steak n chicken the first time I grilled. Good lord I thought the cats were going to fight me over that meat! They're trained to leave my food alone too.
Some of these I am not surprised are coming back. Fruit salads can have great recipes and just because it’s a food from the past does not mean it cannot find a place on our tables today.
My dad was a hobo, left home at 15 so as not to burden his mother during the depression, rode the rails from town to town looking for work. He taught me how to make bean soup, vegetable soup, sos and poor mans dinner, which was made with kielbasa. Some other good recipes include cabbage and noodles, apples and sauerkraut and beanie whiniest.
My dad did the same!! He also joined the Navy at 16 when he was old enough to pass as 18 during WWII, lol!!! He sent every penny he could home as there were 4 other children to feed and clothe.
My grandmother had a ranch in central California during the depression. She had many hobos come to her door for a meal. She always complied and took them up on their offers to do some choirs.
I was gonna say they same thing. They seem to think that because so called "trendy" youtubers only just started cooking some of these dishes, then they must have gone away.
@@MJ-my9sg There are all sorts of cream pies, many with whipped topping. The cream part is basically a pudding. I dearly love another PA Dutch recipe for taffy pie. The filling is just cream and molasses. I can't get it quite right. The cream is supposed to float over the molasses, and then bake into candy like deliciousness. I just mix them.
I also use dandelions every spring in my canning. The stems are great medicine but the flower petals I use for tea or I collect about 100-200 and pull the clean petals off to make jelly, also known as liquid gold or poor man’s honey. Pull the root out and the leaves are a tasty salad but the cleaned root is good to make coffee.
@John Hicks I 100% agree and yet unfortunately some people tend to only take the past events that they want to. I think that's why we need to teach the good and the bad of history. You would think that we would of learnt not to go to war after past horrific wars and yet there will always be people (groups of people) who want power over others and will do anything and everything to get it. It's a sad reality however we can make a difference one person at a time by being positive, caring and open minded with people we come in contact with. John I hope that you and your love ones are safe (covid19) and are happy. Xx
That's because our country is so stupid and lazy they won't study history so they don't make the same mistakes. Nope. Instead we all get butt hurt about the past and try to erase it from our history. Yeah and why do you think that this erase history you don't like shit.
@@2JobsStillPoorUSA my roommate can burn water....yea..bean soup...just don't....my mother, she's normally a good cook. but for some reason that day....she is never allowed to cook bean soup again. all 12 of us in the house hold decided after that day. it was like eating paste for the wall paper and tasted like.....well lets just say garbage would of been better.
@@darklordmenet like i said it takes time and a good teacher or ten to learn to cook beans. I have had ten come out like barely tender rocks (salted too soon) and bland wallpaper paste (over cooked)
@@2JobsStillPoorUSA In an old British joke where the word "been" is pronounced like "bean": "Waiter, what is this stuff?". "It's bean soup, sir." "I don't care what it's BEEN. What is it NOW?"
I haven't had dandelion greens in over 50 years but one thing I remember, is make sure to pick the younger ones for eating because they tend not to be bitter.
Not just for depressions any more. Although, maybe I've been poor my whole life and didn't know it😆. Several of these recipes have always been family favorites. But one I've never saw was that frozen fruit salad. That one I gotta try, it looks really refreshing and very tasty. Thanks for sharing some great money saving ideas.
Those recipes should be used in places where they serve hungry homeless or poor people!!!., it would feed them fill them up,..they sure won't say no to that!!!
Dandelions are amazingly versatile, the leaf can be used in salads, the roots can be used like bean sprouts or roasted and used as a coffee substitute, the flower can be used in wine making or even used as a tea
I'll just put it out there since y'all are obviously too pussified to say it. SOS = Shit On (a) Shingle. It was a term commonly used by servicemen during WW2. I know cuz my grandpa served and couldn't stand the stuff after he came home.
Egg yolks do NOT go in fruit salad--just whipped cream. Also, chocolate pie has never gone away in the southern US. Its a staple dessert at every barbecue restaurant.
Raw egg yolks are not good for you, could have salmonella. It was not in the frozen fruit salad made at our house. And we used dried, not canned, beans because they were cheaper.
Meatloaf rocks!! But I always enjoy it more the day after, cold in a sandwich with catsup. Funny how the most basic, generally economical meals are the most fondly remembered. We never had much, but pretty much always had either potatoes or rice in the house and that formed the bulk of our meals. Dried beans, too. To this day, six decades later, dried beans are high on my list of pantry basics. For soups, casseroles and side dishes, dried beans can take a little and stretch a more costly protein source.
Amazingly enough I essentially ate rice pudding for dessert in childhood on nights my parents where busy because they even taught us how to make a basic one.
They also called it....shit on a brick....or shit on a shingle...sorry for the bad language but that's what it's name was...we had elbow pasta with a tomato soup or v8 or just plain old butter, salt and pepper
I like meatloaf, especially when it’s a great taste of the American classic dish, and you can make them in crazy ways, like for example the cheezy stuffed meatloaf, the bbq bourbon bacon meatloaf, and even the Italian meatloaf by using the ground sausage, pasta sauce, three cheese blend, and even even seasoning.
Meatloaf? I wasn’t aware that was gone and coming back. It’s always been around. Now chipped beef is pretty unusual, even though I make it a couple times a year. I’m glad it’s coming back though, because the meat was getting pretty hard to find.
My husband and sons love my meatloaf! For over 44 years I have been making it. Sneak in veggies when they were little indeed! Top with brown sugar, mustard, and ketchup for a saucy glace.
S.O.S. did not stand for "Same Old Stuff" it stood for Shit On a Shingle. Jeezus. And it wasn't "popular" with servicemen, it was a meal served often because ingredients were cheap and could be stored for long periods of time.
In the 1940s my mother worked as a one-room schoolteacher in rural areas where she had to board with (ie both live with and get her meals from) a Mrs. Lee, whose son was in the army. When he came home on leave, Mrs. Lee made what she called "strawberry pie". It consisted of tossing the water pie ingredients into a pie pan plus a dollop of liquid artificial strawberry flavor, and baking it a while, and it came out as a soppy gluey mess. The son said "mm, that really IS strawberry pie" while taking small tastes and pushing it around on his plate but he didn't really like it and neither did my mother. That was far from the only poorly cooked thing Mrs. Lee made. However, she was under a delusion that she was a great cook. Since she was quite fat, she apparently really loved her own cooking.
I recently found a recipe for breakfast sausage patties made out of quick oats that was shockingly similar to a real sausage patty. I was shook. Sometimes they missed the mark, but other times they came up with some genius solutions in dire times.
We make an ambrosia salad: canned drained pineapple, grapes, and shredded coconut, cool whip and vanilla yogurt. Mix stick in fridge and amazing light dessert 😉
We can learn a lot from this video. There is nothing wrong with bringing down our food costs. We tend to throw away a lot of food these days. I often think about all the livestock, dairy, vegetable, fruit farmers etc and how hard they work and it ends up in the bin. It must be heartbreaking and frustrating for them. I do think in my country anyway that people are going back to growing fruit and especially vegetebles at home. We have a gardens in school program to teach our children how to grow food. They get to plant, harvest and then cook with what they have grown. It would be great if all our schools had the funding to do this program without being on a long waiting list. I think that you also need a teacher with enough knowledge to run the program. When I was well enough I was a primary school teacher and unfortunately the attempt to grow vegetables resulted in the caretaker doing all the work and most of what was produced was sold to parents and the kids never got to cook or taste it without their parents paying for it. That's the main reason why someone should be employed part time to run it but once again funding is an issue. One local school has had incredible success due to volunteers and a kitchen where the kids can learn how to cook what they grow. It's in a relatively poorer community and the children took the knowledge home and backyards turned into gardens which means families are eating healthy without the huge cost of buying the produce which is really expensive here.
I didn't live through the depression, but I ate a lot of food from that era. Span and fried bologna were common breakfast items in our home. My mom often made a homemade version of hamburger helper. SOS was something we sometimes had for lunch and dinner as well as breakfast. When we didn't have dessert, my mom would take sliced white bread and top it with applesauce, cinnamon and sugar. She referred to it as Northern Michigan Apple pie. Jell-O was also considered dessert, made fancy by dumping some canned fruit cocktail in it. Goulash was hamburger, macaroni, vegetables and canned tomatoes. We also ate a lot of casseroles--mostly leftovers my mom threw together with a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup--which was the base for all casseroles. Sometimes when we were short on money, my mom would cut up hot dogs in canned tomato sauce and serve it over a piece of white bread. Or sometimes dinner would be canned soup with bread and butter. There was always something on the table. It may not have been something I was crazy about, but we never went to be hungry unless we chose to. My parents never let me realize just how poor we were, at least I never felt like we were poor.
Maybe with some guidance/approval from the adults in your life, you could actually make these dishes. My parents grew up in the depression, fought in WWII and when they got married after the war, used all these recipes then taught me. By the time I was your age, I could make most of these easily with just a little kitchen knowledge of measurements & how the oven works. I think. your mind will find it one of the most exciting activities around! Honest! Have fun! (Even if mistakes are made, the first time you make something everyone eats and likes (and wants you to make it again) is wonderful!) Plus, VERY good skills to have when you move out later. 😊!
Most of the people I knew who went through it didn't seem to mind too much. They talked about having to get creative about things, but I think they were kind of proud of that. I think it's because everybody was in the same boat. The income gap amongst working people wasn't as wide as it is now. There were rich people and then everybody else. The everybody elses all had about the same things. People who were kids then said they didn't even realize they were poor because everybody was.
Frozen anything was very limited to people in the depression. My grandparents still used Ice Blocks. There was no electricity or indoor plumbing for most. I have a hard time believing some of this. My Father was Born in 46 and even then he did not have indoor restroom till he was 5 on the farm. My grandparents used a wood burning stove even when I was a child. Guess I respect the way we lived. Still today we raise or hunt for our food , I can most everything and have taught all our kids the same. Glad I was raised that way!!!
The entire dandelion is eatable from the bloom to the root. The bloom makes a delicious jelly that tastes like honey and the root roasted and ground makes a good coffee substitute.
Each spring we make Poke salad which is a plant that comes up on new plowed ground. The plant has to be boiled then drained then fried along with egg to get rid of the poision. We wld also use the black purple berries to dye cloth BUT you have to be careful because the berries are poision also.
Hmmm I guess I lived the first 20 yrs of my life in a "Depression" era based on 1/2 the things listed lol. ***i'm early 30's*** This makes me realize how poor I/my parents used to be.
Dandelions are great for the immune system too. We harvest every spring from our yard. The flowers make the yard so pretty! (always save some for the bees). Also, as said before, SOS isn't commonly known as Same ole Stuff. LOL!
Pretty sure "Same Old Stuff" was a puritanical euphemism for "Shit on a Shingle." Mayonnaise cakes were common and surprisingly good since pure mayo is just eggs and oil. It was a clever way to get around the egg rationing.
Frozen fruit salad is great! Chocolate cream pie, yum! Water pie! SOS, real term is $hit on $hingle. My favorite is meat loaf! Rice Pudding yummmm all the foods I grew up on. Candy, my grandmother would take a bit of molasses and drop some on snow. When it got hard... hard candy!
As with leaf lettuces, you can merely snip the outer, larger dandelion leaves at the base, leaving the plant alive, & it will continue to produce new leaves which you can harvest for weeks.
Meatloaf is so good. If you are someone who doesn't like it, you haven't had it made right. Rice pudding is one of my all time favorite desserts. I have the best recipe for it. But it has to be eaten cold with whipped cream. It's so good.
What's wrong with trying to save a little money on food? In case you've been living under a rock, the prices on some foods are skyrocketing. I grew up eating most of the foods on this list, except for the chipped beef on toast. We made ours with ground beef. My grandmother made the BEST baked rice pudding. I still use her recipe.
I love the dep. era recipes bc they aren't fancy and I usually have the ingredients. I don't do fancy very well but can cook these recipes which are good. I grew up with them and must have remained poor bc I still make them.
You forgot Dandelion wine. You take the flower, water, what ever sweetener you can get ur hands on. Boil and let natural yeasts to take over then let it set for several weeks. Its not real strong but will give you a slight buzz. Google it cause its really quite easy to make. Its just time consuming is all.
I sure did learn to make bread, inspiration started coming, and I made one batch with Italian seasoning blend and onion and garlic powder mixed into the dough, buttered the top and sprinkled parmesan cheese over it to bake, and it was fan-freaking-tastic! I also made an AWESOME buttermilk bread using SACO dry cultured buttermilk. It comes in a short canister you can find in the baking aisle usually not too far from the flour, but your store may have it near the other dry milk, or near the canned milk. Or I'm sure you can find it online if that's how you're doing your shopping. It should not cost more than about three and a half bucks. Be sure to refrigerate after opening- I did not read this on the label and my first can was ruined as I'd put it back up in my baking cupboard, back in my dumb twenties. If anyone who at least halfway knows how to make bread wants any of my ideas type me up. My recipe is somewhere between some homesteaders' or Jenny can cook no knead bread YT vid and my Aunt Lorene's recipe which adds oil and sugar. They actually do knead their dough , yet they say you don't have to knead the dough whilst they are doing it, oh, and another says you just don't have to do very much - we're just doing this enough to get the ingredients interspersed or fully integrated or whatever but they are still kneading the dough. I have a really lazy way of actually not kneading the dough. I don't know how to knead bread dough. I just don't like to ...whatever... never been all that good at it ...I don't know how long to do it ....I've watched videos and I don't care anymore because I mimic their exact movements but it just never turns out the same. I end up getting hard bread and since I don't make chowders and not want to hollow out the middle and serve my soup in my hard dense bread. I just take them very seriously about the "no kneading necessary" part and just don't do it. My view there are just a few considerations on how to make this possible and it's all in the preparation. It's not allowed to effort it just takes a little thinking beforehand is all. It's just about mixing certain ingredients in together before you put the wet stuff in the dry stuff together. Just think of it as making your own Bisquick sort of it is preloaded with oil that's why you only have to add water or milk or maybe even eggs if you want to make biscuits or cake. You have to add your oil to your flower first, and use a pastry blender or even the end of your whisk to stamp about your bowlful of flour or use both of your hands to rub together to incorporate the oil into the flour. And you do this while you're warm water and yeast and your sugar is percolating in a bowl next to it.

@@pawzforthought More than edible, a tasty treat. I also love tuna and ate some today.
WOW you just described my WHOLE childhood of foods. Growing up in the Appalachian mountains we still plant and grow our own foods,can and freeze. My favorite childhood sweet was a pennywise cake with a chocolate sauce.
My Great Grandmother made a buttered jar cake in mason jars.🥰🥰🥰
People still grow and preserve food all over the country. People just like to pretend it's an old-timey thing.
@@lanajohnson8424 I started canning years ago and haven't stopped yet. Still coming up with new recipes. Have canned my version of V8 juice, zucchini with onions, peppers and tomatoes, and made pear butter instead of apple butter. My parents grew up during the Depression, so I heard how they survived. Got an indoor garden under LED grow lights and chickens for eggs and meat. BTW, I'm from West Virginia.
gingerbread cake w warm lemon sauce....an occasional before bed treat after the bath. woodburning stove, big tub in front for us kids to take our baths, warm flannelette nightgowns and pjs.. my mom worked like a dog , everything had to be hauled, lugged, boiled, emptied, keeping the stove fed, chopping kindling, washing clothes outside in a double boiler and another tub w rinse water, wringing sheets out by hand , using a scrub board and a big bar of lye soap to do laundry, ironing everything, heating the iron up on the stove......this was in the '50's ..rural logging community. we are not that far from no mod cons. we thought we won the lottery when mom got a ringer to do laundry.
I'm 59 and my mom was born in 1920. Consequently, she grew up on a lot of these foods and when she got married to my father she continued to cook like that. I very recently realized that I grew up with those foods and also cooked like that for years. In other words, my daughters (in their 30s now) grew up on depression foods.
I was raised on almost all these dishes and still make them. They never went out of style for my family and i.
i grew up with most of these ... my grandmother on mothers side grew up during The Depression ... so many of her recipes were based on that time
So when did your grandmother on your father’s side grow up?

I’m going to make water pie. All I need from you villagers is butter, vanilla, salt, flour, sugar and a crust.
Just like Stone Soup. Bring a big pot of water to a simmer. Add a small stone or 2. Everyone who comes over brings an onion, or a carrot, or stalk of celery, tomato, potato, whatever, and adds it to the stone broth. The more people, the better the stone soup tastes.
@@stevyd Yep.
That sounds like a stone soup strategy
Lol
I've had water pie before and yes it's absolutely delicious.
"Navy bean soup" was always my favorite part of leftover holiday ham
You know what's crazy? Louisiana (my home) is known as one of the best places for food. What people don't know, is that most of our cuisines have originated from the poor. Jambalaya, Gumbo, Boudin, are all foods made with multiple fillers to stretch meat into meals. Rice is a huge part of our culture. Almost everything includes rice because it is filling, plentiful, and cheap.
I've always felt that meat shouldn't be the main part of your meal usually.
Instead it should've stretched into a main dish or should be more of a side dish.
Except occasionally like a big barbecue or something.
I've always felt this way even before it became popular to do so.
Now if only I was better at actually doing that. Instead of just eating the side dish or the meat.
I once accidentally forgot to cook anything but the steak n chicken the first time I grilled.
Good lord I thought the cats were going to fight me over that meat!
They're trained to leave my food alone too.
Some of these I am not surprised are coming back. Fruit salads can have great recipes and just because it’s a food from the past does not mean it cannot find a place on our tables today.
I've not heard SOS as Same Old Stuff. One of the words is usually 'Shingle".
My dad was a hobo, left home at 15 so as not to burden his mother during the depression, rode the rails from town to town looking for work. He taught me how to make bean soup, vegetable soup, sos and poor mans dinner, which was made with kielbasa. Some other good recipes include cabbage and noodles, apples and sauerkraut and beanie whiniest.
My dad did the same!! He also joined the Navy at 16 when he was old enough to pass as 18 during WWII, lol!!! He sent every penny he could home as there were 4 other children to feed and clothe.
My grandmother had a ranch in central California during the depression. She had many hobos come to her door for a meal. She always complied and took them up on their offers to do some choirs.
@@judytieger8976 ithink you mean chores not choirs!!!
Beanie whiniest?
I grew up in the 50's and 1960's eating most of these.
These never “went away “. I have eaten all of these all my 68 years, except “water pie”. That’s a new one, but worth trying.
I was gonna say they same thing. They seem to think that because so called "trendy" youtubers only just started cooking some of these dishes, then they must have gone away.
Meatloaf never left my life it's amazing especially if it's sliced and pan fried the next day
Had meatloaf today at Cotton Patch Cafe here in Texas. I can tell by the comments which generation each person is from - quite interesting!
Dunno who made up that water pie, but it's based on the Pennsylvania Dutch vinegar pie.
I thought it was Cream pie?
@@MJ-my9sg There are all sorts of cream pies, many with whipped topping. The cream part is basically a pudding. I dearly love another PA Dutch recipe for taffy pie. The filling is just cream and molasses. I can't get it quite right. The cream is supposed to float over the molasses, and then bake into candy like deliciousness. I just mix them.
They all are based on older recipes...
I also use dandelions every spring in my canning. The stems are great medicine but the flower petals I use for tea or I collect about 100-200 and pull the clean petals off to make jelly, also known as liquid gold or poor man’s honey. Pull the root out and the leaves are a tasty salad but the cleaned root is good to make coffee.
Of course they're making a comeback. Cause we're about to go into another one.

@Stripey Cougar ➊ for who?
@John Hicks I 100% agree and yet unfortunately some people tend to only take the past events that they want to. I think that's why we need to teach the good and the bad of history. You would think that we would of learnt not to go to war after past horrific wars and yet there will always be people (groups of people) who want power over others and will do anything and everything to get it. It's a sad reality however we can make a difference one person at a time by being positive, caring and open minded with people we come in contact with. John I hope that you and your love ones are safe (covid19) and are happy. Xx
That's because our country is so stupid and lazy they won't study history so they don't make the same mistakes. Nope. Instead we all get butt hurt about the past and try to erase it from our history. Yeah and why do you think that this erase history you don't like shit.

I haven't had dandelion greens in over 50 years but one thing I remember, is make sure to pick the younger ones for eating because they tend not to be bitter.
Not just for depressions any more. Although, maybe I've been poor my whole life and didn't know it😆.
Several of these recipes have always been family favorites. But one I've never saw was that frozen fruit salad. That one I gotta try, it looks really refreshing and very tasty. Thanks for sharing some great money saving ideas.
Those recipes should be used in places where they serve hungry homeless or poor people!!!., it would feed them fill them up,..they sure won't say no to that!!!
Dandelions are amazingly versatile, the leaf can be used in salads, the roots can be used like bean sprouts or roasted and used as a coffee substitute, the flower can be used in wine making or even used as a tea
Dandelion flowers, like other edible flowers, can also be made into a jelly. Just use the petals not the green part. 😁
Chipped beef on toast was also referred to as “shit on a shingle” by the yanks and us canucks in ww2
My Dad loved that chipped beef throw-in. And Btw, SOS doesn't stand for same old stuff.
We had that all the time growing up; I actually liked it quite a bit. And I agree, SOS means something totally different!!!
I'll just put it out there since y'all are obviously too pussified to say it. SOS = Shit On (a) Shingle. It was a term commonly used by servicemen during WW2. I know cuz my grandpa served and couldn't stand the stuff after he came home.
@@michelledillard6316 Lots of ordinary dishes can be the "same old stuff". Only one very special entree can be called "s*** on a shingle".
My dad used to make this with ground beef instead of chipped beef and he loved it. I remember disliking shit on a shingle night lol
Egg yolks do NOT go in fruit salad--just whipped cream. Also, chocolate pie has never gone away in the southern US. Its a staple dessert at every barbecue restaurant.
There are different versions. There's also an ambrosia fruit salad.
Raw egg yolks are not good for you, could have salmonella. It was not in the frozen fruit salad made at our house. And we used dried, not canned, beans because they were cheaper.
S.O.S. technically meant Sh!t On a Shingle not “Same Old Stuff”
Came here to say that
Lmao right?!
Eat that all the time lol it's on par with biscuits and gravy.
The best “eating” comes from such simple homemade foods! Our grandchildren are even catching on to this in our home!❤️
Meatloaf rocks!! But I always enjoy it more the day after, cold in a sandwich with catsup.
Funny how the most basic, generally economical meals are the most fondly remembered.
We never had much, but pretty much always had either potatoes or rice in the house and that formed the bulk of our meals. Dried beans, too.
To this day, six decades later, dried beans are high on my list of pantry basics. For soups, casseroles and side dishes, dried beans can take a little and stretch a more costly protein source.
I'd say this era is pretty damn depressing...we just have more food.
Amazingly enough I essentially ate rice pudding for dessert in childhood on nights my parents where busy because they even taught us how to make a basic one.
Frozen Fruit salad is da bomb!! I was fostered in the early 70s by an old couple. Food like Frozen Fruit Salad was a rare regular treat for us.
Is this dessert similar to ambrosia salad?
I have eaten creamed chipped beef on toast my whole life,and I love it very much. With lots butta
They also called it....shit on a brick....or shit on a shingle...sorry for the bad language but that's what it's name was...we had elbow pasta with a tomato soup or v8 or just plain old butter, salt and pepper
I like meatloaf, especially when it’s a great taste of the American classic dish, and you can make them in crazy ways, like for example the cheezy stuffed meatloaf, the bbq bourbon bacon meatloaf, and even the Italian meatloaf by using the ground sausage, pasta sauce, three cheese blend, and even even seasoning.
Meatloaf? I wasn’t aware that was gone and coming back. It’s always been around. Now chipped beef is pretty unusual, even though I make it a couple times a year. I’m glad it’s coming back though, because the meat was getting pretty hard to find.
Thanks for sharing this Mango T! 😊 Have you subscribed to our channel yet!? ruclips.net/channel/UCX--mGSg0UwDjl7MDL8H5Jg
You still get Sh*t On a Shingle in the military frequently, it's very good.
I’ve eaten chipped beef a lot. It’s delicious!
My husband and sons love my meatloaf! For over 44 years I have been making it. Sneak in veggies when they were little indeed! Top with brown sugar, mustard, and ketchup for a saucy glace.
That's nice to hear! 😍 Did you like the video?
My family thought I put cheese in my meatloaf but I put in bread like my mom did. My family loved it.
There's nothing weird about these foods coming back into style. We're all broke AF and can't afford real food.
This IS real food. McD's isn't real food.
Hamburger ans spam is expensive to me now.
S.O.S. did not stand for "Same Old Stuff" it stood for Shit On a Shingle. Jeezus. And it wasn't "popular" with servicemen, it was a meal served often because ingredients were cheap and could be stored for long periods of time.
In the 1940s my mother worked as a one-room schoolteacher in rural areas where she had to board with (ie both live with and get her meals from) a Mrs. Lee, whose son was in the army. When he came home on leave, Mrs. Lee made what she called "strawberry pie". It consisted of tossing the water pie ingredients into a pie pan plus a dollop of liquid artificial strawberry flavor, and baking it a while, and it came out as a soppy gluey mess. The son said "mm, that really IS strawberry pie" while taking small tastes and pushing it around on his plate but he didn't really like it and neither did my mother. That was far from the only poorly cooked thing Mrs. Lee made. However, she was under a delusion that she was a great cook. Since she was quite fat, she apparently really loved her own cooking.
I recently found a recipe for breakfast sausage patties made out of quick oats that was shockingly similar to a real sausage patty. I was shook. Sometimes they missed the mark, but other times they came up with some genius solutions in dire times.
That's awesome let's try it UltimateDorito I sure you definitely like that 😍

It's my favorite dish
We can learn a lot from this video. There is nothing wrong with bringing down our food costs. We tend to throw away a lot of food these days. I often think about all the livestock, dairy, vegetable, fruit farmers etc and how hard they work and it ends up in the bin. It must be heartbreaking and frustrating for them. I do think in my country anyway that people are going back to growing fruit and especially vegetebles at home. We have a gardens in school program to teach our children how to grow food. They get to plant, harvest and then cook with what they have grown. It would be great if all our schools had the funding to do this program without being on a long waiting list. I think that you also need a teacher with enough knowledge to run the program. When I was well enough I was a primary school teacher and unfortunately the attempt to grow vegetables resulted in the caretaker doing all the work and most of what was produced was sold to parents and the kids never got to cook or taste it without their parents paying for it. That's the main reason why someone should be employed part time to run it but once again funding is an issue. One local school has had incredible success due to volunteers and a kitchen where the kids can learn how to cook what they grow. It's in a relatively poorer community and the children took the knowledge home and backyards turned into gardens which means families are eating healthy without the huge cost of buying the produce which is really expensive here.
I have a recipe from the 1930's to make Mistery Cake, made with tomato soup. It is sweet and delicious!
I didn't live through the depression, but I ate a lot of food from that era. Span and fried bologna were common breakfast items in our home. My mom often made a homemade version of hamburger helper. SOS was something we sometimes had for lunch and dinner as well as breakfast. When we didn't have dessert, my mom would take sliced white bread and top it with applesauce, cinnamon and sugar. She referred to it as Northern Michigan Apple pie. Jell-O was also considered dessert, made fancy by dumping some canned fruit cocktail in it. Goulash was hamburger, macaroni, vegetables and canned tomatoes. We also ate a lot of casseroles--mostly leftovers my mom threw together with a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup--which was the base for all casseroles. Sometimes when we were short on money, my mom would cut up hot dogs in canned tomato sauce and serve it over a piece of white bread. Or sometimes dinner would be canned soup with bread and butter. There was always something on the table. It may not have been something I was crazy about, but we never went to be hungry unless we chose to. My parents never let me realize just how poor we were, at least I never felt like we were poor.
Am 12 and i play video games most of the time and this videos are more entertaining then gameplay videos.
Maybe with some guidance/approval from the adults in your life, you could actually make these dishes. My parents grew up in the depression, fought in WWII and when they got married after the war, used all these recipes then taught me. By the time I was your age, I could make most of these easily with just a little kitchen knowledge of measurements & how the oven works. I think. your mind will find it one of the most exciting activities around! Honest! Have fun! (Even if mistakes are made, the first time you make something everyone eats and likes (and wants you to make it again) is wonderful!) Plus, VERY good skills to have when you move out later. 😊!
I feel bad for people who were living in depression era😔😔
some of them were great at coming up with good foods
Thanks to COVID it was getting bad and similar times
Most of the people I knew who went through it didn't seem to mind too much. They talked about having to get creative about things, but I think they were kind of proud of that. I think it's because everybody was in the same boat. The income gap amongst working people wasn't as wide as it is now. There were rich people and then everybody else. The everybody elses all had about the same things. People who were kids then said they didn't even realize they were poor because everybody was.
Frozen anything was very limited to people in the depression. My grandparents still used Ice Blocks. There was no electricity or indoor plumbing for most. I have a hard time believing some of this. My Father was Born in 46 and even then he did not have indoor restroom till he was 5 on the farm. My grandparents used a wood burning stove even when I was a child. Guess I respect the way we lived. Still today we raise or hunt for our food , I can most everything and have taught all our kids the same. Glad I was raised that way!!!
Most homes didn’t have a freezer in 1929 so I don’t have any idea how they made frozen fruit anything
Ice chests and ground cellars . My grandfather who grew up prior to WW1 used to talk about using giant chunks of ice in the ground cellars .
I love how they hint about covid but dont say it 😭🤚🏻
I wish people would stfu about it. All states have dropped masks. It's over.
Nothing weird about it! Hot dogs are like steak for many of us!
The entire dandelion is eatable from the bloom to the root. The bloom makes a delicious jelly that tastes like honey and the root roasted and ground makes a good coffee substitute.
I make baked potato soup alot, with cornbread on the side.
I used to eat all these things and at my age while my mum is still alive TEACH ME YOUR SECRETS please 🙂
Rice pudding or Mexican breakfast 😆 too!!
Yes! Arroz con leche! My mother in law always made that for my kids as an alternative to oatmeal.
Each spring we make Poke salad which is a plant that comes up on new plowed ground. The plant has to be boiled then drained then fried along with egg to get rid of the poision.
We wld also use the black purple berries to dye cloth BUT you have to be careful because the berries are poision also.
Thanks for sharing this Moxie McKeldrey! 😊
SOS means shit on a shingle because the bread was hard enough to be a shingle, it's also supposed to be ripped up and when done properly is AMAZING
Hmmm I guess I lived the first 20 yrs of my life in a "Depression" era based on 1/2 the things listed lol. ***i'm early 30's***
This makes me realize how poor I/my parents used to be.
That's just deep
Only 1/2? lol Yeah, like you, most of these were childhood staples; I still make them.
Good food is a sign of love, NOT poverty.
Many of these foods would bring me out of a depression.
Beanies and weenies, coffee cake, and bacon spaghetti were cheap meals that will forever remind me of my great-grandma.
Navy bean and spam soup is really good. I used to feed the neighborhood. Had to be cheap.
Water Pie???
Wow. Times were tough.
I'mma give it a try though 😁

Dandelions are great for the immune system too. We harvest every spring from our yard. The flowers make the yard so pretty! (always save some for the bees).
Also, as said before, SOS isn't commonly known as Same ole Stuff. LOL!
Mixed fruit and cool whip. Turkey meatloaf, I love white bean soup (chicken, cantilene beans, carrots bullion or broth, herb, salt and pepper).
SOS did not stand for “same old stuff” 😂😂😂
In no world did SOS ever stand for "same old stuff".
I rather think the narrator was attempting to be polite.
And then there’s MY maternal grandmother’s idea of a low budget cake: a loaf of sale bin bread with expired frosting smothered all over it. 🤢
Pretty sure "Same Old Stuff" was a puritanical euphemism for "Shit on a Shingle."
Mayonnaise cakes were common and surprisingly good since pure mayo is just eggs and oil. It was a clever way to get around the egg rationing.
I learn more from babbletop than school😂
LOL! 😝😂 What was your favorite part of the video?🤗🤔
Baked beans, yum. My mom makes great baked beans, and you can add some real maple syrup. We in Maine love B&M Baked Beans with Brown Bread in the can.
Love brown bread....B&M's with cream cheese.
Frozen fruit salad is great! Chocolate cream pie, yum!
Water pie! SOS, real term is $hit on $hingle. My favorite is meat loaf! Rice Pudding yummmm all the foods I grew up on. Candy, my grandmother would take a bit of molasses and drop some on snow. When it got hard... hard candy!
As with leaf lettuces, you can merely snip the outer, larger dandelion leaves at the base, leaving the plant alive, & it will continue to produce new leaves which you can harvest for weeks.
I’ve ALWAYS enjoyed chocolate creme pie. It didn’t go away,
Cool! Did you like the video Linda Burton? 😃
Can I get a recipe?🤷♀️
Meatloaf is so good. If you are someone who doesn't like it, you haven't had it made right.
Rice pudding is one of my all time favorite desserts. I have the best recipe for it. But it has to be eaten cold with whipped cream. It's so good.
What's wrong with trying to save a little money on food? In case you've been living under a rock, the prices on some foods are skyrocketing. I grew up eating most of the foods on this list, except for the chipped beef on toast. We made ours with ground beef. My grandmother made the BEST baked rice pudding. I still use her recipe.
That's in part because a LOT of youtuber cooking people are digging into those old recipes.
Emmymade made some of these recipes like the water pie.
I love the dep. era recipes bc they aren't fancy and I usually have the ingredients. I don't do fancy very well but can cook these recipes which are good. I grew up with them and must have remained poor bc I still make them.
@@LadyB_20 Do you have a link to her site Please ??
The dark chocolate cream pie just wanted me to eat the whole chunk
You forgot Dandelion wine. You take the flower, water, what ever sweetener you can get ur hands on. Boil and let natural yeasts to take over then let it set for several weeks. Its not real strong but will give you a slight buzz. Google it cause its really quite easy to make. Its just time consuming is all.
My dad made a batch of that once. Turned out really sweet, but good.
Pork n' Beans never went anywhere. It was a staple in my house growing up
I sure did learn to make bread, inspiration started coming, and I made one batch with Italian seasoning blend and onion and garlic powder mixed into the dough, buttered the top and sprinkled parmesan cheese over it to bake, and it was fan-freaking-tastic! I also made an AWESOME buttermilk bread using SACO dry cultured buttermilk. It comes in a short canister you can find in the baking aisle usually not too far from the flour, but your store may have it near the other dry milk, or near the canned milk. Or I'm sure you can find it online if that's how you're doing your shopping. It should not cost more than about three and a half bucks. Be sure to refrigerate after opening- I did not read this on the label and my first can was ruined as I'd put it back up in my baking cupboard, back in my dumb twenties.
If anyone who at least halfway knows how to make bread wants any of my ideas type me up. My recipe is somewhere between some homesteaders' or Jenny can cook no knead bread YT vid and my Aunt Lorene's recipe which adds oil and sugar. They actually do knead their dough , yet they say you don't have to knead the dough whilst they are doing it, oh, and another says you just don't have to do very much - we're just doing this enough to get the ingredients interspersed or fully integrated or whatever but they are still kneading the dough. I have a really lazy way of actually not kneading the dough. I don't know how to knead bread dough. I just don't like to ...whatever... never been all that good at it ...I don't know how long to do it ....I've watched videos and I don't care anymore because I mimic their exact movements but it just never turns out the same. I end up getting hard bread and since I don't make chowders and not want to hollow out the middle and serve my soup in my hard dense bread. I just take them very seriously about the "no kneading necessary" part and just don't do it. My view there are just a few considerations on how to make this possible and it's all in the preparation. It's not allowed to effort it just takes a little thinking beforehand is all. It's just about mixing certain ingredients in together before you put the wet stuff in the dry stuff together. Just think of it as making your own Bisquick sort of it is preloaded with oil that's why you only have to add water or milk or maybe even eggs if you want to make biscuits or cake. You have to add your oil to your flower first, and use a pastry blender or even the end of your whisk to stamp about your bowlful of flour or use both of your hands to rub together to incorporate the oil into the flour. And you do this while you're warm water and yeast and your sugar is percolating in a bowl next
to it.
