8 Foods Made Common During the Great Depression

[@Andy.mikhail137]

As a society today...we deserve to go through something like this again, so that maybe we can go back to respecting each other again

[@12TomatoesTV]

Let's hope not. That period saw a lot of needless suffering and death.

[@JohnDoe-wb4iv]

Beans and cornbread

[@michaelciola8039]

Here's one more for you. Bread pudding

[@268marley]

My grandmother still collects the bread ends and we make bread pudding at the end of the week :)

[@LittleOcasioHomestead]

Love bread pudding 😍

[@sallyguy2180]

I love bread pudding 😍🍮

[@charlottehood9525]

I still make bread pudding for my grand kids, they love it.

[@debbiem6406]

My parents were kids during the Depression and quite poor. My mom talked about having tomatoe soup gravy, and as a treat she and her siblings had crunched up soda crackers (saltines) with a little milk and sugar over them.

[@christineleblond7777]

My mom was a kid in the depression and we always ate crackers and milk.. And I never knew anyone my age who did the same. Now I know where this comes from.

[@dixiebell3585]

My Grandma raised 10 children in The Great Depression. Yard Chickens and a garden. Raised on heath food and didn't know it they joked late in life

[@ninakoinz8477]

Fried cabbage and noodles. Steamed broccoli and cauliflower over rice with soy sauce. Hearty, simple, and cheap fare.

[@user-pd8mi7ng7s]

Grew on nothing but depression era recipes. I am beyond grateful for my grandmother's passing these down to me. My own family have relied on these to feed us through belt tightening times.

[@skyylow]

Fried Bread Dough & Fried Potatoes... Growing up, everyone had a garden and canned their own food.

[@michaelkurtz1967]

Colleague from the upper northeast told us that his mother always had a pot of vegetable soup. Their family would share with the hungry.

[@michaelkurtz1967]

Many families had little food other than loaf bread. Lots of young men lied about their age so that they join the service and get food, shelter and clothing.

[@svelanikolova5776]

Boiled rice Stinging nettle steamed Plain yogurt Dirt cheap but extremely good. Better than spinach.

[@SabbathaBastet]

My grandmother was a girl during the Depression and I spent a lot of time with her when I was young. We ate every single dish highlighted in this video. Except the fast food. She lived rurally and there weren’t any restaurants close. I never knew that about broccoli! One of my very favorite vegetables! 🥦

[@helenburton1661]

Same life as I had , my grandmother raided me for most of my young life ❤🙏

[@angelinasamson6996]

I make some of these most days Baked apples , stew , casserole, broccoli

[@hairywitch4063]

Grapefruit with brown sugar and a Maraschino cherry on top and broiled in the broiler for a couple minutes until the brown sugar melted.

[@maggiesmith856]

The funny fact about grapefruit is that the bitterness is all in the connective tissue. If you peel the grapefruit like an orange, and eat only the pulp, it's sweet ! Very few people know this.

[@larrycox7169]

Biscuits and gravy

[@JohnDoe-wb4iv]

My Dad ate lard sandwiches spread lard pm bread just to have something to separate the bread

[@sarahmoviereviewer4109]

I love recipes from this era

[@rinakellogg8208]

My great grandmother made icebox cookie cake and my family still loves it and eats it at Christmas.

[@phillipsmom6252]

You didn’t go back far enough. Your food is from the 60’s and 70’s. The Great Depression was Bread, bread and more bread.

[@diggerman14may48]

At that time in northern Australia we only had bread and butter pudding, with very little butter!

[@Wheelchairspeeder]

I grew up on a lot of these foods during the 80s and 90s..we had Great depression poverty in my home and we still cook depression dinners..why just tonight when I made a pot of mulligan stew ( minus the tobacco and lint .( Weird history) Lol...but we made a pan of Depression corn bread..it's minus the eggs ...we use corn oil and baking powder and a can of evaporated milk to stretch the jiffy corn mix..but even before COVID and the economy we were eating stuff like this and still do

[@pbudinsky1]

[@lagoya]

[@Peachy08]

Buckle up...I predict it within 6 months.

[@squirrelcovers6340]

Everything on the list is delicious, I eat them all.

[@traceyobrien8410]

Wacky cake. My paternal grandmother made it frequently whenever my family and ?I visited. Flourless, eggless. But still the best chocolate cake ever and the only one I will eat.

[@kamicrum4408]

It is my families traditional birthday cake!

[@heatherjunker967]

@@kamicrum4408 Mine too. It is the best homemade chocolate cake I have ever had.

[@michaelcohen9363]

wacky cake has flour in it... it is made without milk, eggs, or butter though.

[@paulawinstead5660]

Yup !! That was our mom's specialty! Every birthday being celebrated was crowned with one of her wacky cakes and homemade chocolate icing. 😁

[@sandrakoker3277]

That’s what will kill me. We are not getting good health care anymore to eat like that anymore.

[@gregmoore4479]

If we had any bacon we'd have bacon and eggs if we had any eggs

[@jacobplays6917]

Here from honors United States history class

[@docholt0000]

Can you put some useful information like a really old recipes for each one of these like a forgotten casserole

[@midwesternviolet8768]

The channel “Great Depression Cooking” has actual recipes, step by step. It’s a wonderful channel on many levels.

[@cynthiarosas8214]

Everyone needs salvation here are the words of salvation please forgive me jesus im a sinner come into my heart and save me from my sin I no that you are the savior and I no that you died for me on calvary and I no that God raise you from the dead and you are alive and I thankyou for your salvation in Jesus holy name amen and its important to always ask for forgiveness

[@katherineanderson6297]

[@ggstorm8101]

[@kath5201]

Well, speaking for myself, broccoli should have stayed in Italy. 66 yrs old, still cant stand the stuff.

[@12TomatoesTV]

[@rachelstrahan2486]

[@tammybader2655]

[@mixsounds6454]

2022 depression is waiting 🤣ww3

[@Joshua-ye9lu]

You know it😉

[@theenchantedgardendream8787]

This aged well

[@maryedithswann3034]

Yes we need to practice survival now. Pray for Jesus to protect us and provide our daily bread. Buying wheat berries and grinding them to make flour also having pancake mix on hand will be helpful. Fishing hunting and perserving food things most of us don't know how to do but better learn FAST.

[@kath5201]

2023 and suprise!! Its the Communist Gays taking over!!! What the heck was in that shot?????
