    My mother and grandmother grew up during the depression, and they cooked hog mawls, chitterlings, neck bones, oxtails and rice pudding, which I love. My mother fixed the best rice pudding, while grandma excelled in banana and bread pudding. She also made delicious casseroles!😋

    My parents were kids during the depression. Mom said they went months with only potatoes. Dad had coffee with milk and crackers crumbled into it for breakfast. My mom developed calcium deficiency and developed rickets. And when I was a kid, mom use to make rice pudding because she and dad loved it. She tried to get me to eat it. But, no no no… No slop for me. Eat it yourselves.😂

    My parents grew up during the Depression as young kids into their teens.
    My Dad even when he had a great job making good pay would not waste anything..
    My Italian Grandmother would make Raviolis with meat, absolutely mind blowing delicious.
    I asked my dad once "What does Nona put in her Raviolis that taste so good"?
    His reply, You like them right? Then you don't need to know!!🤣
    In short back then in Pullman Chicago you hunted the prairies surrounding the Pullman train car Factory where my grand parents worked and ate anything that a lot of Wine in the sauce couldn't fix.😇
