Speaking of Depression Meals: One of my best recipes was handed down by my grandfather from Ohio who was part of a traveling band of clowns which toured the country in the 1930s and 40s. Not only did he fully participate as a performer (juggling and spraying seltzer mostly) but he was alsmo in charge of the Clown Chuckwagon, and over the years came up with a nice selection of mostly campfire stews (or "or stewge" as Gramps used to call them),, soups and casseroles. One of my favorites, casseroles, which I still prepare frequently, consists of baked beans and wieners , macaroni and cheese. and a couple handfuls of those big orange circus peanuts – a sweet yet savory bake-up that's a hit with everyone who tries it. Gramps had one clown name for performing with his fellow troupers at carnivals, civic events, etc., throughout the central Midwest ""Antsy Pants" – but around the campfire at breakfast or suppertime, when most of these talented vagabond buffoons had removed their make-up and hung their giant shoes in their campers, (but oddly enough not all of them) Gramps was affectionately known among the boys as "Yummo."
A modern day item can be added to the list that is used commonly as we know it today: Smoothies.
Just take any combination of vegetables 🥕, 🥜, a raw egg 🥚, and a fruit 🍌 to sweeten it add water and mix it in a Nutribullet or blender and you have a fast and nutritious meal that does not even have to be heated. Just drink it. Cheers 🥂
My mom hated "garbage plate" so much that when she was older, she was OCD about food touching other food on the plate.
I made Depression Chocolate Cake and it was not bad. I will have to try it again.

The animals shown are not snapping turtles!! Lol
Mulligan Stew aka Hobo Stew…Irish were the 1st slaves in USA before it became what it is today. Many Irish were poor and so there you have it. Cornbread in milk was my Black Irish Grandpa's favorite. He was born in 1893. My Mother, born in 1927, told me there were times, during The Great Depression, they only had potatoes for a week. Hard times for many.
I take roadkill home now.
Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge………

Was there any cannibalism during the Great Depression?

In northern Wisconsin here, we pick up road kill deer all the time during winter. We just let the state DNR know we picked it up. It's rare to see a dead deer along the roads anymore.
I've eaten snapping turtle soup many times> It's good. Plus I had lived on brown rice and things like soy beans when I was kid. We survived. I'm a senior and garden and have chickens. I rely on them. I am waiting for uncle sam to put a kabosh to that. I'm on the old family farm, but make it better than those in town. My brother and his wife moved in here out of necessity. We share the work to a point. I appreciate the additional security.
Things are nowhere near bad. Everyone I know is still going on luxury holidays 3x a year, still pissing away money getting married, and divorced, still buying fancy cars, and enjoying their lives, still spending a fortune on fancy restaurants. Where is the fcking crisis? They are ALL still living life as normal.
Hey epic economy guy! Just tell people how to make Mexican food. Mexican food is the BEST poor people food out there. Cajun food at a close second.
LMAO 🤣🤣 😂
THIS FOO CAN'T PRONOUNCE BOLOGNA!!
Roadkill? In the Rustbelt people still eat it. Flies tell you how fresh it is. Few flies and it is fresh. Maggots on it and it is a little too ripe. In the winter you don't have any flies, but the freezing cold will preserve it. Get a manual meat grinder as a backup to your electric meat grinder. If the meat is too tough…grind it!
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!,Despite the recession, I'm so happy withdrawing my $17k profits out of my investment with a platform in town.
