20 BRUTAL Meals People Ate to Survive the Great Depression

[@bigstick5278]

My parents grew up during the Depression as young kids into their teens. My Dad even when he had a great job making good pay would not waste anything.. My Italian Grandmother would make Raviolis with meat, absolutely mind blowing delicious. I asked my dad once "What does Nona put in her Raviolis that taste so good"? His reply, You like them right? Then you don't need to know!!🤣 In short back then in Pullman Chicago you hunted the prairies surrounding the Pullman train car Factory where my grand parents worked and ate anything that a lot of Wine in the sauce couldn't fix.😇

My mother and grandmother grew up during the depression, and they cooked hog mawls, chitterlings, neck bones, oxtails and rice pudding, which I love. My mother fixed the best rice pudding, while grandma excelled in banana and bread pudding. She also made delicious casseroles!😋

My grandparents were poor then, but always had good food on their table.

My parents were kids during the depression. Mom said they went months with only potatoes. Dad had coffee with milk and crackers crumbled into it for breakfast. My mom developed calcium deficiency and developed rickets. And when I was a kid, mom use to make rice pudding because she and dad loved it. She tried to get me to eat it. But, no no no... No slop for me. Eat it yourselves.😂

Staple of school dinners in the 1970s uk was rice pudding, semolina pudding and tapioca pudding. During the wars we would hv eaten even less than America had in the depression as being an island, no workers as in war etc
