    I have a Great Depression cook book. Interesting except rabbit, raccoon, and squirrel. My grandparents grew up on a farm. They had plenty to eat but their profits was so slow until World War 2. Until war you know Government rationing book for food, gas, and shoes. They had to follow Great Depression recipes how to stretch foods ( $3 for 3 bags) since lot of foods was sent to service men to eat. And, long ago, I had meals at my grandparents’. Not only old fashioned cooking. Depression recipes are tasty and interesting. Today, everybody still make it. I do make porcupine meatballs. And my mother’s creamed chipped beef on biscuits. Very inexpensive. But jars of chipped beef is expensive now.

    Have eaten most of these…. By choice. I prefer homemade comfort food … if you cook your meals at home, limit your portion sizes and exercise daily, you’ll feel better and surprisingly, it won’t make controlling your weight difficult either. You’ll actively be disappointed when your leftovers run out…

    Reading all these comments everyone just talks about past family members from the great depression. Does anyone have a clue why we have insane inflation greed an astronomical 31 trillion dollar debt. ….simple answer every vote year for decades voters keep voting back in the same DC lobby bought swamp rats. Who is our prez a 50 yr corrupt swamp rat Biden. Years ago I watched a news special they had a math wiz an a professional economist. They showed on simple pencil paper you do away with all tax write offs have a low tax rate for everything an very low tax rate for low wage earners. The gov would have more money than they would know what to do with. Though for decades you have the filthy rich the big corps they pay for all these LIAR campaigns an many decades later we have millions of millionaires an many hundred billionaires. It's a wicked greed game in America an completely controlled by the fed gov thru lobby groups. Put that on your plate an eat it.

    You've named 3 dishes that my mom makes for us that she learned from her grandma. Thankfully I know how to make them. They are delicious, potatoe patties, meat patties, stuffed peppers.

    Then there's "livermush" — a North Carolina dish. I wouldn't call it disgusting, but I wouldn't order it; if a slice was put on my plate, I'd eat it without making a face.

    Here's what Wikipedia says: "Livermush is composed of pig liver, pig head parts such as snouts and ears, cornmeal and seasonings. It is commonly spiced with pepper and sage. The meat ingredients are all cooked and then ground, after which the cornmeal and seasoning is added. The final mixture is formed into blocks which are then refrigerated. . . . It is cooked by cutting a slice off of a premade loaf and frying it. At breakfast it is served alongside grits and eggs."

    I came from a family of 8 . My mother the oldest of 16. When we would spend time with my Grandma Curran. I would spend time with her in the kitchen. I would open up the fridge and not see much to eat. But, come 3:30 pm grandma would start dinner. I questioned in my mind 🤔 what she was cooking while cleaning out the fridge and putting it all into pans in the stove. When she would say dinner is served. We all would be amazed at what masterpiece she had made. She was a fantastic cook. Pa.. we would get .5 cents for every 25 dandelion we would dig up for a salad.

    My parents divorced 49 years ago (I was 8). My mother had to cook this way for us for years afterward (while my Dad and his new wife didn't skimp on anything). I still enjoy most of these things, although I do use modernized recipes (baking powder, flour, and sugar in the cornbread, etc…).
