25 Survival Meals My Family Ate During the Great Depression

My name is Evelyn Ross. Our kitchen window iced over on the inside, and my mama would scrape a circle in it with her thumbnail so she could watch the road while she stirred. That was the winter the mill went to two days a week, and she fed six of us out of a pantry holding cornmeal, lard, dried beans, and whatever came in the door. In this video I walk you through every one of them, the way my mama and hers made do. In this video: ✓ Rabbit smothered in gravy ✓ Corn chowder ✓ Fried hominy ✓ Corn fritters ✓ Brains and eggs ✓ Souse on light bread ✓ Turtle soup ✓ Blackberry cobbler with a drippings crust None of this needs a fancy name or a full pantry. It only ever needed someone willing to make do. Try one of these this week. Then tell me in the comments what your own mother or grandmother made when there was not much to work with, and how she stretched it. I read every one of them. Waste nothing, and remember, the women who fed a house through hard years knew things we are only just starting to remember. # DepressionEraCooking #FrugalCooking #ComfortFood #GrandmasWisdom #OldWays #ForgottenRecipes #EvelynRoss
