Depression Cooking
Mar 17th, 2009 | By Edson | Category: Video |There’s a wonderful series of videos on YouTube showing some Depression Era meals along with anecdotes about living through it. All of the recipes and stories are by Clara, a great-grandmother in her 90’s. She recalls what life was like, and how they scraped together tasty meals from the cheapest ingredients.

What a great video. Interesting that all of the food that she used (except for the cheese) can essentially be grown in your backyard (or frontyard)! A great garden meal and ultra low cost. Thanks for sharing! =)
