What People Ate to Survive the Great Depression: 20 Frugal Dishes 

My Dad's family would eat something similar - dripping (presumably from a roast) on bread.

@@starrtraveler3496 Everyone should have a fishing pole if they are near fish bearing water. Food shortages are in the news all the time and threats of more coming. Many of the European countries are purposely putting their farmers out of business under the guise of the climate hoax. Amazon has many different kinds that fold up and fit in your pocket.

Mom made oatmeal for everyone but I didn’t like it so mom made me corn meal mush. I poured a little milk over it and some sugar. When boxed cereal came out, she didn’t have to cook cereal. And we kids loved it!

@@Lawson8tor I have a friend that makes squirrel stew.

Sounds good. Thanks for sharing the recipe

@@VintageRewind-r5n You are welcome. Dandelion tea is something to consider too. It’s made from the roots and green leaves. There are also cookies using Dandelion, similar to a kind of an oatmeal. People during the world wars used dandelions a lot. Just be sure to get them in the wild and not your yard. Yards have always had weed killers on them at some point, etc. and thus contaminated soil. Of course you can grow your own too. EVERYONE MUST learn to grow their own foods. No excuses, everyone can grow hydroponic in their living room if need be. Start with (non-head) loose leaf lettuce and mustard greens and you can be eating in abt. a month. Minimum two gallon water bowl. RU-vid has a lot of hydroponic growers. Learn to be an expert BEFORE you need it to survive. Our gov’t is not protecting us from a grid down, and it’s getting hit constantly, hundreds of times, as the terrorists look for the sweet spot. Iran, China, and Russia have worms all over our grid infrastructure - China is literally running it. Tucker Carlson did a Fox Nation special on it. There is a lot of info out on the issue. 9 out of every 10 people will die. Also watch the documentary, Grid Down, Power Up, with Dennis Quaid.

Now there's an idea let's have the youngest son for dinner,,"Son come here".....

@@poshdelux That is so sad!

@@poshdelux I’ve never heard that one before, but it is a threat now because open borders are bringing cannibals in. I have seen old depression era photos of women with signs selling their children because they couldn’t feed them.

True. I have read bodies in US were placed outside along street. Hungry souls were grateful, yet saddened too.

Not very nutritious, but I have eaten those voluntarily as a snack, usually at work when faced with a bare refrigerator. Also ketchup sandwiches. I like my condiments 😄

@@blancabulgrin5560 Pigeons are only in limited areas, mostly cities.

@@I_Am_SciCurious LOL. we vote to eat too, LOL.

@@Sam-y5d3j Yeah, we just moved into a cesspit from a really nice place because rent nearly doubled, so we’re paying the same to live in a dump. Prior to the pandemic the economy was by far the best it’s been in my life. Now we’re paying twice as much for groceries and gas and she’s been in the White House for 3.5 years. If she had a way to fix it, she would’ve done it by now.

@@I_Am_SciCurious I soooo understand what you are going through. What makes me the angriest is that this is ALL STOLEN MONEY from us, so they can redistribute it to parasites that don’t belong here, and we can never get our losses returned. In other words you cannot sue and be restored like you could with other thieves.

😅
