What a beautiful picnic in the park grandma and grandpa! The food looked simple but delicious, the packaging, the love you put into everything you do is absolutely breathless. I love watching your great depression era videos and I loved watching this one too. It was amazing seeing you both out and about. Keep up the fantastic content grandma and grandpa! Sending love from New Zealand

This was a lovely video. My mother used to wrap my sandwiches in wax paper when I was in elementary school. I think I'm going to start using it again. I like how there was no plastic used when packing your lunch. We need to get back to that way of doing things.

Cold meatloaf sandwiches with Bennett's chili sauce were AMAZING back in the day. Plus Mom's macaroni salad, pickles, potato chips, and fruit salad. Tons of ice in the cooler, and a big jug of iced tea. Those were the days and I thought they'd always be. *sigh*

[@GrandmaFeral]

Hi thank you for sharing I felt I was there with you and all the delicious food. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻

[@InFltSvc]

Hello , my mother just told me she can not find Bennett’s chili sauce . She lives up north in PA. Can you tell me if you can still find it please ?

[@emdee7744]

@@InFltSvc Hi! Bennett's got bought by another company. They changed the formula, then stopped making it altogether. A decent homemade substitute is combining Heinz's bottled chili sauce with your favorite brand of sweet pickle relish. Taste it as you combine the two ingredients so you get the proportion right and it tastes the way you remember. Heinz is the only one that includes the bell peppers in their chili sauce and that makes the distinctive difference. I hope this helps out! I miss Bennett's too. It was great on hamburgers as well.

In old cookbooks I often see references to packing things like salad in a paper cup topped with waxed paper if a jar was not available.

I always have wax paper in the house. I would be lost without it. When you place the salad in a paper cup topped with waxed paper place a rubber band around the top. It works great. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻

What a memorable and wonderful video Grandma and Grandpa. From the meatloaf to the coleslaw, wind cake and blueberries. A lot of people of today don't even know what wax paper is. I used to take my children there and picnic and I loved to do my bird watching and photography. We used to drive up to Hunting and Lloyd Harbor even in the fall and spring as it was open all year at the time. Your picnic looked so inviting, " I'll take a meatloaf sandwich with ketchup ", thanks for the memories and tell grandpa eating a sandwich, berries and wind cake with your hands is the way to go. You both are the best, be well, be safe, peace. " Let's go Mets "

I"m so glad that you are showing people the benefits of using waxed paper and paper bags! Plastic bags are SO expensive, and most of the time, you can re-use paper bags, as you point out, Grandma. I even use paper bags for giving gifts of cookies. I use a hole punch after folding the top, and then I can put ribbon in and make a bow. Then I write names, such as "For Susy", and everyone seems to feel that the cookies are more special than if they came in a zip lock bag. The cost of wax paper is also better than other kinds, and we use that a lot, also. Thanks for taking all of us on the picnic with you and Grandpa!

[@GrandmaFeral]

Hi Polly Alice I agree about plastic bags being so expensive. I also use the paper bags for giving gifts and do exactly the same punch a hole and use a ribbon and make a bow and write the name or the occasion on the bag. Everyone loves it.

Good point about the reduction in garbage. Single-use plastics have caused such an astronomical increase in trash. Those of us old enough to have lived in the prior times can remember a time with much less trash than is generated now. I try to reuse, save, or recycle everything I can, but it's best not to generate it in the first place. (What on earth am I going to do with all of those cottage cheese and yogurt containers??🤔😂)

Grandma I LOVE LOVE LOVE this video, I think it’s the BEST one you ever made and here is why. (1) I am a HUGE picnic fan and take my mother on them all the time and just came back from one we took today out at the lake very close to what you did. I like to keep it simple with a sandwich, side , drink, cake and fruit as it travels well . I have a round picnic basket with all the traditional items inside. I also am a huge fan of using wax paper just like you do. (2) I love that you filmed out on your venture. It’s is a beautiful park and really brings depth to the story of the video. I also love meatloaf sandwiches with a lot of ketchup. I hope you will do more like this if possible and thank you for sharing on how they did it back then.

[@GrandmaFeral]

Thank you for your kind words. Thank you for sharing how you take your Mother on picnics all the time. I would be lost without wax paper as I use it all the time.

When you pulled out the wax paper to wrap the sandwiches, I wondered if you would remember the technique. I shouldn't have doubted you! You did it perfectly, just as we used to. I could tell your fingers knew that motion. I'm also impressed at how agile you two are, sitting cross-legged on the ground. You must exercise to stay limber.

When we got to our campsite the turkey was fully cooked. It drove us all crazy smelling that turkey on the way. LOL.

It's been forever and a day since I've been to Caumsett (though I visit the closest town beach, the one my Grandpa and Mom called "the brickyards", with some regularity). Coincidentally during the Depression, Mom had a school friend whose family lived there above the stables. I think the father was a groomsman for the horses, or some other type of caretaker for the estate. Mom visited her friend there on a number of occasions; it left a big impression on her, so it must have been a big deal to go there. Now that it's a park, it is such a lovely and peaceful place for anyone to visit. Great video, Grandma, Grandpa, and LF! PS, going back even further in time to when my grandfather was a young boy of 6 (~1907), he used to work at the brickyards (which is now the West Neck Beach area, nearly captured in that final shot), carrying water to the workmen, who were immigrants from all over. Mom always said he learned to swear in six different languages there...but I never heard him use any of this early knowledge, lol. Well, maybe in Italian once or twice.😉

[@GrandmaFeral]

Hi Patricia I always enjoy hearing about your Mom, Dad and Grandparents. Talking about the brickyards beings back memories of my Dad using those bricks around his house and having a pile of them near his shed. We had taken a few of the bricks to use in our backyard. We had a perfect day at the park. It is always so relaxing and peaceful. Did you hear they are going to open a new eatery at the old dairy barn site on New York Ave in Huntington Station. it is going to be called the Dog House and they will be selling gourmet hot dogs. It will be strictly drive-through or walk up. I am glad to see new buildings going up around town. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day❤️Grandma👩🏻

[@patriciamorgan6545]

@@GrandmaFeralI probably have some of those bricks here, too. No, I hadn't heard about the hot dog place! That's good news. That place has been vacant for so long; it's a tough plot because it's so tiny, definitely has to be a quick drive-through place. Hope the captive audience at the new laundromat across the street will help keep it in business. I remember Grandpa going there to Dairy Barn to get vanilla bean ice cream, which in those days (1970s) had real vanilla seeds in it, and the butter pecan was loaded with buttered pecans. It's also the corner where Billy Joel had his motorcycle accident, way back when (1982).

For the ice, any thermos during the Depression era? Did they also use enamel plates to take to picnics or was it just for camping? I enjoy all your videos. Thank you both!

[@GrandmaFeral]

Hi during the Depression era not everyone had a thermos. Mainly the enamel plates were used for camping. I am happy to hear you enjoy my videos. Thank you so much for watching and have a nice day ❤️Grandma👩🏻

I have a foglizzio (?) picnic basket from 1930's (?) I have no idea if it's worth anything, its in good/fair condition .from my Great Gma

[@GrandmaFeral]

Your vintage picnic basket is most likely worth something especially if it is rare and not many out on the market. Many people today like the picnic baskets to use as a display item in their homes❤️Grandma👩🏻

Do you find that the wax paper is cheaper than buying plastic baggies?

[@GrandmaFeral]

Yes because a roll of wax paper lasts a lot longer. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day❤️Grandma👩🏻

[@kylesalmon31]

@@GrandmaFeral I think I’m gonna do that! Thank you.

[@annmcevoy9299]

Years ago I would keep a couple sheets of wax paper on my fridge top, and toss it when it got dusty. Also kept a roll handy to use in the car, and restaurants with toddlers .

Glad you liked the video. Grandpa’s favorite was a BLT sandwich but now he likes LT with mayo since we don’t eat bacon due to all the salt. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨‍🍳
