I didn't actually picture that I would need most of the information my grandmother, who had survived the depression, imparted to me. The pandemic brought it out in DETAIL. I was taught to raise animals, tend a garden, cook, forage, can, butcher....etc. In the 50's they were already falling out of "fashion" We were headed to college, and the factories. Well....we had faith it would never be "that bad" again. *BAM* Pandemic. We now have a garden, chickens, and live away from other people. Well, who would have guessed? We're foraging berries for CASES of preserves and jams. We're canning our produce. We're canning pickled chicken eggs. We're getting a dehydrator to make use of more of it. Hominy? I hear you saying "pizole" and I absolutely love it. I'm spending this cold winter crocheting another blanket. My grandmother is no doubt beaming with pride. I crochet, embroider, sew....curtains, cushiions, kitchen towels, etc. I had been taught; and I decided I wasn't going to buy ONE MORE THING than I absolutely had to. Welcome to 2024. No, we don't have flying cars, but we're all gardening and sewing again. Winter is a spectacularly useful time to do all those sewing/crocheting projects, as summer is for gardening and foraging. Candles and soap? No problem. We make laundry detergent as well. I'm not saing I do not FULLY APPRECIATE having a washer/dryer. Not giving THAT up. We have covered our bare, rocky areas with sourghum, wheat, millet, etc. So the "weeds" covering them are actually useful. We have a full bank full of chickory, and it stays there. next winter? I'm sewing a quilt by hand. and I'm going to enjoy doing it. We can now buy butter, milk and cheese from neighbors who make such things themselves. We trade canned stuff for them. We got right back into that "Wayback" machine. It's okay.....we are HEALTHIER.
Good for you! Our bodies were not made to process all the highly processed, GMO, and poisoned foods they sell at the stores. And animal sourced fats are much healthier for you than seed oils and highly hydrogenated veg. oils. Nasty stuff! Suet is good for us! Fat does not make you fat, carbohydrates do. I'd love to be able to still get out to forage for wild edible and medicinal foods and hunt. To even have access to real foods. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and had grandparents that still used many recipes we see from the harder times. My dad had stories of many things we take for granted now. As kids they were sent off to pick peas and beans to another state! One of my favorite stories he told me was about a neighbor lady that would make hominy in her huge cast iron pot outside on a fire in lye made from the ashes. He and his brother would offer to work in her yard or do chores just to get a bowl of hominy fresh from her pot. Said it was the best thing ever. He used to make hominy from a can for us sometimes with butter and salt...so good. And he loved grits with lots of margarine and sugar in it. Yeah, we drank the kool aid and thought that margarine and shortening were better for us than lard or tallow. Stupid how the gov. lied to us all and look at us now. Back in the day we were all active and skinny. Rarely did we see anyone overweight. Even though we did eat things very bad for us. Thank goodness my daddy was a hunter, so even though we were rather poor, we had good and healthy meats. The meats at the stores were much better too. As were the vegies. Not the nasty chemical laden crap they sell now. Glad I got to have a childhood back before the modern age ruined our world.
@@lorenrobertson8039 There are some modern things that are good, and helpful....but there are some old ideas that are still better for us. We have electricity, laptops, appliances. I'm glad. I'm also glad me eating from one day to the next is not up to the climate...environmental OR political.
At 62 I am learning as much as I can about pressure canning, I have a small place but raise layers and meat chickens , can up what I have left in freezer when I am ready to process my next batch, eat as much fresh veggies as we are able and I can up the rest, started doing this in 2020 and with dehydrating and canning I have a very well stocked panty which has been a blessing with these insane grocery prices, thankfully I can grow 10 months out of 12 and do so, it’s a necessity not a hobby , stopped buying new clothes because our walk in closet was jam packed, hubby and I have 5 jeans and 12 shirts each and when those get holes or wore out ( thread bare) I make dust cloths or braid strips of jeans and make pot holders 😊 we then pull out replacement jeans and shirts from our closet. We figure we still have 20 years of clothes in closet lol. Use it up wear it out, I pass down my poor man meals recipes to daughter and grand daughter along to sister in law . Everyone is having hard times, I give chicken to family when I raise once a year I just wish they would help me process 😣. This year I told them you don’t help me with feed or process and I am not welfare, my mom will be only one getting chicken meat. So glad to hear you also are doing what you can with what your grandma taught you 😊
My grandfather abandoned my grandmother and their 8 children during the depression by taking their crop to market and taking the money he got. And leaving them. Grandma and the children hired themselves out to anyone who needed a farm hand. They made 89 cents free and clear that next year. But could not afford to buy shoes and the shoes split as the kids feet grew. They lost their farm. And moved to become share croppers. Grandma served meals to the kids but never ate a bite herself unless they were done less the children might go hungry. Than an Italian lady came and asked her to grow just one crop. (Bell peppers) they grew enough to fill a truck. And made good money after that.
I'm ,65 have always had a garden , got into food storage when I was young.. You need , at least a two year stock pile of the basic, plus can foods last a long time. I live by the ocean , you can fish, get seal meat, dear meat, moose meat bottle the meat. I have a book , first red rose cook book it tell you how to cook using a wood stove.. Today, we stand on a green that grows on the lawn, that we can eat. We bitch about food, when it's for for free all around use.. Food shortages are coming, and people plant flowers instead of growing food.

Watercress, which is a weed growing in damp places, is high in nutrients. A favorite in England, for making sandwiches. In US, harder to find. But alfalfa sprouts are easy to grow, and high in protein. In facts, radish sprouts, chia sprouts and many different kinds. Also nut butters!
Watercress and beef bone soup is my favourite for when im ill. But also cheese and cress sandwiches are amazing with a cup of tea. ...that may be my most british scentence
I like how he repeatedly says when you had no other choice in a variety of ways. Things didnt have to look good or even taste good. That is a concept few of us have a grasp on. Also would serve well to divide between survival eating and what we have become accustomed to.
My parent's were born in the depression. YOU FORGOT THE FRESH MUSHROOMS! brains and eggs require mushrooms , onions, and peppers, placed on top of a fresh sliced tomato and a scoop of cottage cheese( you get the biggest dip if you run to the cold spring to get the cheese pail!)
My mom lived on a farm during the Depression. They never lacked for food. I've heard of other people who worked when they could get jobs and bought extra food with the money they earned. I always have stocks of black beans and garbanzos because they have high quality protein. Add an egg or a small piece of meat and you are good.
We used to have a supper of cheese toast and soup, and another of baked beans on toast. We made “tostadas” of chili beans on toast with chopped tomatoes and chopped lettuce. I don’t remember whether we put grated cheese on them. We had greens and cornbread every day, I think.
TOUGH TIMES STRUGGLE MEALS 😊❤ * Mashed potatos, with stewed flavorful tomatos 🥔🍅 * Depression cake, made without basic ingredients * Hot water corn bread, definitely good once fried * Dandilion greens fresh salad 🥗 or also sautéed dandilion greens * Squirrel brains 🧠 * Fish mold * Vinegar pie * Cow utter, absolutely cleaned, boiled for hours, then prepared * Potato soup 🥔🥔🥔 * Oat based meatloaf, without meat * Prune pudding * eggless pancakes 🥞 * Molasses * Baked beans, homemade * Peanut butter stuffed baked onions 🌰 🧅 * Gelatin dishes, with all kinds of ingredients * Surprise spice cakes * Bisquets * Bean and tomato stew, maybe aďd more ingredients * Rice with raisins, might add nuts, brown sugar * meatless meatloaf, made with oats ^ Bread pudding, diverse recipes, waste nothing at all * Ritz mock appple pie 🥧
I'll switch out that cow udder for cow tongue (boiled is some salted water til the skin cracked and started peeling off, then removed from the boil, cooled and peeled the whole thing before slicing thin for fried meat or sandwich slices) any day of the week!
Squirrel brains? My mom's dad was a great hunter. They grew up eating squirrel, rabbit, and venison. Mom and her sisters were taught how to prepare the meats to remove the gamey taste. They also ate organ meats that were cheaper ways to get a protein on the table.
My Aumt passed from mad cow disease, Jacob Creatzfeldt disease. The doctors said it could come from beef but can also come from squirrel. Be careful ❤❤❤
Fun fact: they would pack fancy jello molds with anything from hotdogs to vegetables. Mom used to put fruit in there which I never liked lol. Also this needs to edit out the repeating videos.
My mom used to make a noodle ring in a mold (I think it was egg noodles), and there was a sliced hotdogs with a hot sauce that she filled up the center with - she swears I'm making it up, but I distinctly remember eating that for dinner!
I love cracked red wheat. The flavor itself. I use it for breakfast with milk, or dinner made with meat/vegetable juices. Doesn't shoot my blood sugar WAY UP after eating it.
I used to think that hardtack was some kind of dried beef or meat. I first heard about it when we studied how the British used to travel in big wooden ships
I was born in 1970 and still grew up eating these things and still eat them. I was farm raised and was taught frugal spending by parents and Grandparents.
Yeah, a few of these were like when my dad wanted me to try cow’s brains. Dad thought you should try everything at least once before you said you didn’t like it. I’ve tried a number of things, but not that one. I told him that it’s nice to know if I was starving, but, in the meantime, there were other choices.😊
We must have been among the poorest families. My grandmother worked as a cook for the nuns. They paid her $8 a week!! None of these dishes ever made it into our house.
Some repetition, but otherwise good compilation of depression-era recipes. I remember, in lean times, sugar & shortening sandwiches, and what was called Ink Toast; molasses, water, and butter were blended in a saucepan, and then you put your slices of bread in the mixture, turning over until all liquid was absorbed, then continued frying until toasted. Another recipe was Fish Cakes; usually leftover boiled cod, leftover mashed potatoes, corn, etc from the previous day's dinner. You'd shape these ingredients into biscuits, coat them in flour, fry them in some oil in a shallow pan, and put ketchup on them to eat.
Chicory is not a weed. here in New Zealand, it is sown especially to feed sheep. In the depression era, "cow cockies" or dairy farmers used to boil wheat for breakfast and put golden syrup over. Boiled wheat is sweet and nutty flavoured.
Thank you for compiling these together for us and sharing! The video editing is a bit choppy from the second half on and jumps around then circles back to a few recipes. xD;;
lol but Mom would boil it, then boil the veggies in the water and then added more water to make gravy... salted pork digests just fine!! certainly NOT indestructible...
canning and keeping food was a lifestyle before and after the depression. My parents lived in SE Kentucky and the 'great depression' meant nothing, they did nothing different , they were very poor and lived that way before the great hoax and after.
Granny Ross once a week had a garbage plate. She was using up leftovers that she could reinvent. This was in the late 40's and the 50's She would make hot water corn bread or skillet corn cakes. I have said this before....NO GELATIN dishes or ASPICS. It's a texture thing. NOPE. Can't do it. Not even in the 50's and 60's. Cabbage is still included in a lot of our recipes.
Please add some more ad breaks...simply unwatchable due to breaks every 3 to 5 mins. Thats a shame, because, some of the info might be useable, if it wasnt constantly interrupted.😢
Thanks for the analysis! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Too bad thar most of American foods are loaded with preservatives and many other chemicals as well. I know Americans were much healthier then,as opposed to today.
Time to stock up on multi vitamins, they last for years past the best by date. Make two cups of flour worth of hardtack every time you use the oven. Dry out well, seal with oxygen absorbers in mylar bags, glass jars, tin cans resealed with wax. Or move to using hardtack for most meals and prep them in diy MREs. I plan to do two cups of flour worth the hardtack, sealed and dated. Six tomato, chicken bouillon cubes or powder equivalent sealed and dated. Four packs of hot chocolate mix or powder equivalent sealed and dated. Two tbsp of coconut oil sealed and dated. This is a basic 1200-1400 calorie survival meal for one day. But you can add coffee, hard candy, honey packs. Supplement better meals with this. The hardtack is eaten in the tomato bouillon and the hot chocolate. Buying in bulk for the bouillon and flour lessens the price. Do some with dry flour for mixing with the hot chocolate for a cake. Same for the tomato bouillon. If we get the tariffs placed the incoming administration wants, this is the only meal again basically.
Most of these pantry staples are shelf stable so no electricity is needed to preserve them. Many people did not have enough money to pay for electricity.
So you take short segments of popular you tube videos and stick them among your video...... and never mention who they are. Gotcha. Will never watch any of your videos again

Biscuits and sausage gravy are still good
I make it atleast once a month.
I make I every Sunday!😊
They grew gardens during depression and canned extra food for winter. They had chickens for eggs.
If they had a garden they had to watch it closely because neighbors would help themselves to the garden! I’ve heard stories about that
My mom lived on a farm during the Depression. They never lacked for food. I've heard of other people who worked when they could get jobs and bought extra food with the money they earned. I always have stocks of black beans and garbanzos because they have high quality protein. Add an egg or a small piece of meat and you are good.
I make salt pork for my family, it is good, but soaking salt pork in cold water for an hour, and then rinsing, is a must.
We used to have a supper of cheese toast and soup, and another of baked beans on toast. We made “tostadas” of chili beans on toast with chopped tomatoes and chopped lettuce. I don’t remember whether we put grated cheese on them. We had greens and cornbread every day, I think.
I still used salt pork when cooking my green's or beans. I drank chicory coffee in the 80's while pinching pennies in TN.
Chicory does not contain caffeine. People drink coffee for the caffeine.

Suet= ( Sue- it)
Thank you!!
Thank you.
lol!! Agreed!
I wondered what "sweat" was, it was the suet he mispronounced. I had a good chuckle out of that one.
Lol, classic AI goof
Pickled beans are wonderful to eat!
Sauerkraut juice can be used to make pickled eggs or pickled herring.
Squirrel brains? My mom's dad was a great hunter. They grew up eating squirrel, rabbit, and venison. Mom and her sisters were taught how to prepare the meats to remove the gamey taste. They also ate organ meats that were cheaper ways to get a protein on the table.

My mom called the garbage plate musgoes. Everything in the frig that must go.
My day make 'soup' every Saturday with the few scraps in the empty frig, he called it 'slumgola.'
Fun fact: they would pack fancy jello molds with anything from hotdogs to vegetables. Mom used to put fruit in there which I never liked lol. Also this needs to edit out the repeating videos.

lol🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bread pudding delicious!
😊
I made that yesterday
with raisins ....yum
Baby corn cobs pickled r good too! Beets r good,
The Turkish people use cracked wheat as a pilaf. And Kibba a cracked wheat and ground meat dish.
I love cracked red wheat. The flavor itself. I use it for breakfast with milk, or dinner made with meat/vegetable juices. Doesn't shoot my blood sugar WAY UP after eating it.

Chickory was used during the Civil War as well.
Adding vanilla to powdered milk made it tasty.. it's not longer affordable
Then stock up now!!!
We must have been among the poorest families. My grandmother worked as a cook for the nuns. They paid her $8 a week!! None of these dishes ever made it into our house.
How fascinating! Would love to hear all about her and her life and experiences!

My Dad told us stories of gagging on salt pork and dandelion greens for his supper. Never sounded like a fun time!
I loved my father's pickles and especially pickled watermelon rind.
he said salt pork was virtually indestructible 🤣🤣
lol but Mom would boil it, then boil the veggies in the water and then added more water to make gravy... salted pork digests just fine!! certainly NOT indestructible...
Love this
I would like to know how they “canned” before modern amenities?
5:46 sauerkraut fermentation lacto-water is 🤤🤤🤤🤤
canning and keeping food was a lifestyle before and after the depression. My parents lived in SE Kentucky and the 'great depression' meant nothing, they did nothing different , they were very poor and lived that way before the great hoax and after.
Granny Ross once a week had a garbage plate. She was using up leftovers that she could reinvent. This was in the late 40's and the 50's She would make hot water corn bread or skillet corn cakes. I have said this before....NO GELATIN dishes or ASPICS. It's a texture thing. NOPE. Can't do it. Not even in the 50's and 60's. Cabbage is still included in a lot of our recipes.
Excellent content! Thanks!
Sue-wee when you call the hogs!
suet, suet. here pig pig...yep, did that too
"Sweat" LOL
SUET - "SOO - et"
Chicory tasyes like black pepper to me!
Sardines with saltines and a bit of cheese. 👍
Sue et, not sweet. Sue et = Suet. Or sue it.
Great thank you
Oh kraut juice will keep you going- to the bathroom!!
Sweat? You pronounce suet as soo-et. Lard is similar to suet.
Lard is from hogs fat, suet is either,beef, sheep or goat fat
Suet isn’t pronounced “swet.” It’s “SUE-it.”
That's what I came here to say. We feed it to the birds in the cold of winter

The whole reason to drink coffee is the caffeine, chickory has none.
Chicory was added to dry coffee to stretch it when measuring. Just a filler.
Sweat ergh. How on earth did they get the sweat from
I'm wondering if he's talking about suet?! 🤔 (equally repulsive btw)
pork fat or beef.
Yeah, I think they meant suet, but pronounced it incorrectly.
SOO-et not Sweat
@@breezedarkstorm666 that would be pork fat... beef fat is called tallow
@@YT4Me57yes he is😂😂😂
Soo-it.
😂😂😂Yes please. I thought he meant sweat for a second
It’s pronounced soo-et, not sweat.

Thanks for the analysis! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Too bad thar most of American foods are loaded with preservatives and many other chemicals as well. I know Americans were much healthier then,as opposed to today.
It's sue it, not sewet
The end of this video starts to repeat itself
Time to stock up on multi vitamins, they last for years past the best by date. Make two cups of flour worth of hardtack every time you use the oven. Dry out well, seal with oxygen absorbers in mylar bags, glass jars, tin cans resealed with wax. Or move to using hardtack for most meals and prep them in diy MREs.
I plan to do two cups of flour worth the hardtack, sealed and dated. Six tomato, chicken bouillon cubes or powder equivalent sealed and dated. Four packs of hot chocolate mix or powder equivalent sealed and dated. Two tbsp of coconut oil sealed and dated. This is a basic 1200-1400 calorie survival meal for one day. But you can add coffee, hard candy, honey packs. Supplement better meals with this. The hardtack is eaten in the tomato bouillon and the hot chocolate. Buying in bulk for the bouillon and flour lessens the price. Do some with dry flour for mixing with the hot chocolate for a cake. Same for the tomato bouillon. If we get the tariffs placed the incoming administration wants, this is the only meal again basically.
Salt pork = Fat Back grand pop salted and smoked our pork until he passed
It is pronounces sue-ett! Not sweat!!!
Americans already ate a lot of processed junk in the 1930s which i find depressing in itself (no pun intended)!
Most of these pantry staples are shelf stable so no electricity is needed to preserve them. Many people did not have enough money to pay for electricity.
WHY is the like 👍 button refusing to work ?? 😳😠😡

There most definitely are not enough annoying and distracting interruptions, all these comercial messages no living soul on earth cares about...
Chikory is bitter
I wonder if it would help to add a spoon full of honey, it's the only way I can stomach coffee.
Squirrel brains? Nope....not this time....too much Rabies spread all over including squirrels.
Do other channels know you are using clips of their channels? Pretty shady of you if they don't!
We are locked, STOCKED, and loaded for bear..Country folk can survive.
Did anyone watch this video after editing……. Repeats, start a food and skip to another. SMH
If this video is about dispersion Food...why is there a clip of Trump and Musk chair dancing to YMCA??? Since when do they have to worry about food?
@purpleangel: These two plan to make you poorer so they can be richer.
