My tiddler grandie ate 4 bowls of plain boiled cabbage last night. She didn't want to have nothing to do with the chicken and rice. Her dad learnt to play cricket from some snipes at the caravan park.
Cabbage can be prepared in dozens of ways plus it's growing season extends almost year round. Sour kraut is an easy dish that requires little hands on preparation. Cabbage rolls can be filled with ground lamb, beef, turkey, etc. and can even be mixed with TVP, or rice to stretch it out into more rolls. There is no reason we need to panic about food rationing, even if it is in our future. Our parents and grand parents survived and so can we. The key is to share and share alike, not hoard.
@@tilasole3252 Textured Vegetable Protein. Dry, consistency of ground stuffing bread crumbs. I also use directly in chili and most people think it's ground beef. That said, I mix into meatloaf, Mexican dishes, etc..
@@tilasole3252 Its horrible stuff. My parents used to have some. I cooked some up one time and it was horrid. It was like the first ever impossible meat or plant based meat product.
One of my favorite meals is cabbage and noodles fried in Crisco until the cabbage is nice and brown. It's got to have pepper on it, too. This is one of my grandmother's recipes from the Great Depression. It is so good.
What should have happened? The younger boy learned to stick up for himself. Should he have relied on someone else to defend him? Granny advised in the end.
Just recently I realized that shredded raw cabbage is a low calorie healthful food to snack on. It does take extra cooking labors when not just cooking for ones self. People are often very fortunate to have any land for growing their own food. Thank you for sharing great videos!
If you do not have your own land you can look for a community garden in the area. Or if in an apartment, hopefully get enough sun to grow plants on the porch in pots.
Remember that Janey put her boiled cabbage on while Sally was still shredding hers - it was the shredded cabbage that cooked for only 15 minutes. Those boys were pretty rude though
Only one of the boys was an absolute dick. Stealing his brothers food. Grandma should have slapped him and sent him to his room without anymore cabbage.
LOL...Imagine being told that the food you just cooked tastes "nasty" I nearly fell off my chair laughing. I guess all grannies weren't all sweet and nice in the 49s.
I would never tell children when they are learning to cook that their food tastes nasty. Just tell them what was not right and how to fix the problem next time. Always had the boys cooking with me. The only seasoning they use is lemon and oregano and only use olive oil. I taught them other seasonings but that's all they use. Well at least they cook!
@Dennis Wilson Reread my comment. Key is to teach kids and be there to stop things before they go wrong. You back off when they understand the process and they will become confident and independent. That's why my children (and nephews and nieces) will always be around and they are bringing their kids around me too. It always surprises me when their friends recognize me yrs later and give me a hug and the utmost respect. I was a the VA getting a procedure done and a young woman with a bunch of kids came up to me and asked if I was my son's mom. Happy to see me 16 yrs later. She didn't remember what I did just that she had good feelings around me. I feel very good about the life lessons I gave my kids. Teach Your Children CSN
I still HAVE that grate. It's called a Triplex grate and I think it was made in around 1936. We used to use it as a fire many years ago before we got central heating, but never really used it as a cooker. When my kids were small,thirty -odd years ago, I used to warm their pyjamas in the oven. Now I use the oven to store my metal cooking trays etc. How great to see it featuring large in this little film!

"I'm going to cook mine for ever such a long time." Sounds like my mum, bless her. She used to boil the guts out of it! I shred it, stick in a dob of margarine and nuke it for a couple of minutes. Job's done!
I like my cabbage chopped, lightly salted, and sauteed with onions and garlic in olive oil. After growing up on "cooked ever so long" vegetables I have rebelled.
What do you mean. I'm American( German extraction) we still eat alot of cabbage. Fry shredded cabbage with onions in bacon grease or butter. Boil with smoked sausage( or ham bone)onions,carrots, potatoes( turnips,rutabaga) for boiled dinner. Boil & eat with a splash of viniger. Lots of ways. Roll up with a stuffing of minced meat, onions,garlic, Rice or barley. Cover with tomatoes sauce & bake. Stir fry shredded cabbage with vegetables. Very versatile vegetable.

As my mother, who was about the same age if not a bit older than these ladies during WW2, would have said "Just eat the damned cabbage!" Actually they showed that the cabbage was cooked for 45minutes ... I don't care how you cook it, 45 minutes is too long to cook ANY cabbage dish!
Lol if you use the water that you boiled the cabbage in then you aren't losing nutrients no matter how much water you use. Nutrients don't disappear in water lol.
Kapusta (fried sauerkraut with onion, garlic, and kobassa) is delicious, and excellent for the digestion. Of course, the people in the film would never have heard of kobassa, even before rationing.

@@lesleyhubble2976 Very good advise. I'm 60 this yr and look it! Part of it is that I gained too much weight. Should have kept to a diet of boiled cabbage and potatoes!
COMPUSTA!!! shredded cabbage, liberally sprinkled with salt and left to wilt for at minimum of 2 hours, the longer the better, over night is best. drain off the salty cabbage water, squeeze out excess, add shredded onion, vinegar, olive oil, tiny bit of sugar, maybe some shreds of carrot, and let sit overnight, stirring a couple of times and you get the best cabbage ''slaw'' without all the mayo and muck. and it gets better as it ages...mmmm
Caelidh Goode Well they didn’t have the ability to get recipes from the internet and they only had what they grew, most people couldn’t afford to purchase things outside of their homes like you’re suggesting.
OOhhhhhh I'd have smacked the heck out of that boy, trying to steal his brother's food like that, then I'd have scraped every bit of food off of his plate except the "bad" cabbage and MADE him eat it or go without! And he's the older of the two!! Wartime or not i would NOT have put up with that let alone given him some of the "good" cabbage! If he'd have simply asked politely I might have told the younger girl to eat her own cabbage (ie the one she cooked), and let him have some of the "good", but to heck with trying to push his own brother off of his food to steal it! The so-called nasty cabbage could have been rescued by returning it to its cooking water and turning the whole into a soup of some kind, perhaps with beans, potatoes and onions, plus if possible a tomato or two, and a handful of barley or pasta. A little bacon or bacon fat would have really rescued the soup to a decent meal too. But it's true that you should not cook cabbage in enough water to cover - just enough to steam it to tenderness.
@Norm T huh no wonder kids are such a mess now all this lack of discipline those boys should have been made to help females are not put here to be servants to men
My oldest uncle was a POW in Germany & he said at the end of the war the black bread they received was mainly made of sawdust. I know the civilians were reduced to eating horses that had died in the fighting. Imagine it: an "exploded horse" sandwich on sawdust bread please... and so little of it 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sally was a great success in life, while Jane fell into poverty and disrupte.
Certainly more wholesome than two girls and one cup.
That’s not a particularly high bar.
One cabbage was harmed in the making of this film.
Jane got roasted by grandma 😂😂😂
OOhhhhhh I'd have smacked the heck out of that boy, trying to steal his brother's food like that, then I'd have scraped every bit of food off of his plate except the "bad" cabbage and MADE him eat it or go without! And he's the older of the two!! Wartime or not i would NOT have put up with that let alone given him some of the "good" cabbage! If he'd have simply asked politely I might have told the younger girl to eat her own cabbage (ie the one she cooked), and let him have some of the "good", but to heck with trying to push his own brother off of his food to steal it!
The so-called nasty cabbage could have been rescued by returning it to its cooking water and turning the whole into a soup of some kind, perhaps with beans, potatoes and onions, plus if possible a tomato or two, and a handful of barley or pasta. A little bacon or bacon fat would have really rescued the soup to a decent meal too. But it's true that you should not cook cabbage in enough water to cover - just enough to steam it to tenderness.
This was wartime. They may not have had beans or onions or tomatoes. They almost certainly didn't have any bacon.
@Norm T huh no wonder kids are such a mess now all this lack of discipline those boys should have been made to help females are not put here to be servants to men
My oldest uncle was a POW in Germany & he said at the end of the war the black bread they received was mainly made of sawdust. I know the civilians were reduced to eating horses that had died in the fighting. Imagine it: an "exploded horse" sandwich on sawdust bread please... and so little of it 😂
This is like watching a film of Heaven.
This is like watching Barney and friends,but without Barney lol
LOL! Thanks, I needed that!
Granma said lunch Gail send dinner ill have big feast 😋 ☺
the one boy should have knocked the other boy out
Spoilt bastards don't deserve the fucking Cabbage-kick their arses out of it
But they didn't even wash their cabbalge or look for bugs!
Petra44YT Nein! Granny said: "don‘t forget to soak it in salt water for 10 minutes". That cleans it and kills off the bugs too. I still use this method today.
Yummy
Good stuff
Makes you fluff though
Maybe the boys should cook it next time?
Ah, the good ole' days when families actually spent time together and learned things together. Now we're all separated by TV's and X-boxes.
She says, commenting on a youtube video...
Personnally my family all sit around the table eating with VR Oculas headsets. 🤪
Mine sit around on their phones texting each other at the table. Meanwhile my husband's glued to the TV bitching about the kids on their phones.
ive learnt something new today.
