Haluski - Cabbage And Noodles - Great Depression Cooking - $1 Meal - Poor Man's Meal

[@karmashim3971]

My grandma was from Poland and ended up in Pa. She taught me to always keep your bacon grease. 1 Tbs added to Haluski was her secret ingredient and it was delicious. You can also add bacon grease to your green bean, eggs (scrambled or fried), fried apples or really just about anything to take food to a different level. Grandma said during depression nothing went to waste.

[@GrandmaFeral]

So true! We don't eat bacon so that is why I don't use the grease but alot of people do. Thank you for sharing how your Grandma made the meal👩

Im from the south. My mama used to save the bacon grease as well. Adds so much flavor to everything.

How long is it safe to use stored bacon grease?

[@karmashim3971]

@@willwalker6894 Officially, I'm not sure what is recommended for how long to store bacon grease. I can tell you that unstrained bacon grease, I keep in fridge no more than 3 to 4 months, always checking for it becoming rancid. I do strain using sieve and coffee filter periodically, keeping no longer than 6 months in fridge; though most of the time I end up using it all up before then. Hope that helps.

As a vegetarian, I find this an interesting, inexpensive meal -- and no wonder it made me think of what my late mother (born in 1930) might have eaten growing up, as her stepmother was Polish (and I recognized the word _haluski_ as Polish as well); in fact, that was also an Italian/Polish household, so I'd bet much that _haluski_ was a staple on that dinner table, what with seven kids to feed. (I wish I could ask my mother about it, but she's probably cooking for Dad and her siblings in Heaven as I type this; I do remember her preparing her stepmother's stuffed-cabbage recipe at times when I was a kid, as well as pulling out all the stops to bake _chrusciki_ every year at Christmastime.) Thank you, dear Grandma Feral, for sharing this delightful recipe and a bit of family history as well; FWIW, my mother would also have admired your Zoa Langford-original designer apron (though most often she dispensed with one in the kitchen and just took her chances with an ancient housedress).

Even growing up in the '70s this is the sort of thing my Mom or Grandmothers would make. Sometimes with Polish sausage added. Or just fried noodles as a side. Onions in butter or bacon fat is the smell of a home kitchen to me.

[@jaycorby]

frugalaudio Most definitely! There is a calming effect when onions and butter/bacon fat are sauteed together, or fresh minced garlic with fresh minced parsley. If you want to make your house smell like a home cook in this manner. Your children will be imprinted with the memory ( subconsciously ) and perpetuate the tradition into the future. Also, bake homemade yeast breads/rolls to go along with these aromas - they will never stray far.

My mother would make this (she was 10 years old when the Great Depression hit) and would take a single, foot-long link of Kielbasa or whatever sausage we had, and add it it, sliced into super thin discs about 1/8 of an inch so that it seemed like a lot more than was really there. The flavor was outstanding, I always was happy when she made it. I think I need to make some soon!

Thanks for sharing. We like kielbasa and next time I make it I will prepare it that way👩

This looks so good..going to.have to try this since we are in some trying times.I am Romanian and Italian.. Just as an FYI..it sounds as though you are cutting on a glass or porcelain cutting tray.

Hi grandma Ferals. Glad you love the apron. The recipe sounds yummy. I'll have to make it. I love cabbage. It would be good with bacon for a change up. It looks like your wrist has healed nicely.

[@megancaldaia6708]

Yes how good would Bacon be in this and a little bit of garlic too lol. Also this would be nice served as a side dish too on the side of some nice beef brisket though that kinda defeats the purpose of it been money saving. Great handy work on the Apron Zoa. You really should have an Etsy shop or some kind of online shop.

[@camp0017]

Actually, in Poland we call it "lazanki" (and often add some bacon to the cabbage). Haluski is the Slovak name. Slovaks also have a version of this dish with farmer's sheep cheese (bryndzove haluski).

[@GrandmaFeral]

The bacon added to the cabbage must make it more flavorful👩

[@Telcomvic]

That's very interesting. My grandma was born in Poland and came to the US at about age 6 in 1910. She always called it haluski. There were many Eastern European nationalities in our small town: Polish, Slovak, Slovenian, Lithuanian, etc. She may have picked up the name from one of her friends. She always made it with kielbasa or Polish sausage.

[@mchrysogelos7623]

yes, my mom too, always had the Crisco. I think there were a lot of unhealthy shortcuts picked up during the early-mid 1900's (e.g. teflon, plastics, processed foods), so sad. Overall most people ate and WERE fairly healthy, but unfortunately, it has caught up with society now.

[@candyjohnson3302]

This is NOT a healthy meal.

[@barbaraouimette7864]

@@candyjohnson3302 it is a survival meal; meant to stretch ingredients and the budget. nutrition is not the end goal but the butter provides the fats our brains needs, the cabbage is a source of nutrients and of course the eggs are in noodles so that is a small source of proteins. I think in todays day and age a lot of us take vitamins as a daily supplement. That being said, there will most likely be another meal served to people during the day, with who knows, meats and other vegetables or something. I know my dad brought home whatever he killed to help with what was going to be on the table but not everyone had a skilled parent who did that. I guarantee there is going to be some good eating here, which was a part of the reason we are all interested in the recipe.

In tough times, this is healthy enough to ensure you don't go to bed hungry. I'd rather have butter in my food than margarine. Cabbage is healthy. Onions are healthy. We can debate on pasta.
