  1. These days the soups and other meals are so expensive in restaurants. So wonderful to make them at home.

  2. That's right. We were doing great in the 1960s financially. My mother ate vegetable soup but without meat or potatoes to lose or keep off weight every day. She lived to 98 years old and weighed 110 in the 1960s and 98 lbs when she passed at 98.

  3. Or slice up some kielbasa instead of the ham.

  4. My Oma made Oxtail soup with marrow balls. I'm 73. My father made German Potato Pancakes. They were wonderfully different. My sister's pork chops are also different. People beg for them. The homemade beef gravy was awesome. No canned for us. Top all that off with an apple dumpling with vanilla sauce ladled over it.

  7. Had it all. Done it all. Been poor and lived like I had money. Been where I wanted to go. Lots of memories here. Did what I cared to do. Maybe not for long and had help but I enjoyed it all pretty much. I discovered the rich way of life and foods were mostly not my thing. That life is just too hard to keep up. Maybe because Im older now I've learned the best happiness is home.

  16. Potato pancakes, Garlic and olive oil spaghetti (no tomato sauce or meat) or homemade sausage or bacon gravy (using the grease from a different meal) on bread or biscuits or on top of mashed potatoes. Vegetable soup from leftovers that had been frozen.

  17. I had white bread grilled with bacon grease last night for dinner. Not bad actually. It works when you are broke.

  25. Soup is good food.

  26. I also learned to use bits and pieces of meats leftover in the freezer for Chinese dinners. The Chinese are masters of using just a little meat to flavor vegetables or rice. Pork fried rice, stir fries with vegetables are fast, inexpensive and delicious.

  27. ​ @kathyleighton9091 Chinese is also cheap if you use a little meat to flavor the vegetables. Hope that helps.

  30. I love this type of video. Ive studied the Great Depression for years and practice these meals everyday. Sure has helped us get by.

  31. What I didn't see here is Italian Olive oil and garlic spaghetti. No tomato sauce and no meat but I guarantee you will not miss either. So delicious you will be begging to have it again soon.

  32. Try olive oil and garlic spaghetti. You will never miss the meat. That's Italian. Delicious. Chinese vegetables (frozen) flavored with a little meat also inexpensive. Add rice on the side. Egg drop soup awesome. German potato pancakes are ridiculously cheap. American peanut and Jelly sandwiches. Or a grilled cheese. Add soup from leftover vegetables you've saved in the freezer all week. Hint: Grill the peanut butter and jelly sandwich (with butter). and it will be so sweet you won't believe. Tuna macaroni salad goes far. Enchiladas go far and tacos too. I cook a different country each night. Fun and delicious.

  36. There is something special about depression cooking. It's comfort food made with love. Stepped up restaurants today are about artwork and fancy names so you can be charged more.
