Thank you for another great video! I have watched every video that you have made, I learned how to cook from you! Better yet I can cook outside in a Dutch oven. Thank you so much Kent and Shannon
Thank you for doing this.
Got anymore?
God bless you, and your family.
This is something my mom used to make all the time when I was a kid, it's so funny that this was a depression era classic. I sure didn't feel poor when I was eating this, it was cause for celebration when it was on the burner. I still make it for comfort food to this day 😂
Father was a depression baby.
Never lived up to his income.
Saved those pennies.
Get ready for an earthquake coming to your neck of the woods
There is nothing shameful about that meal at all. Good eating!
Hello! I have a question, when I wipe my cast iron it makes the paper towel black!! Is that normal if not what should I do??
And I'll never let it pass, FDR paid farmers to BURN CROPS so they could raise the price of food during the Great Depression, even though people were starving and couldn't afford food, because he thought that if farmers had more money from higher food prices, they'd buy more things and that would "stimulate" the economy. People are starving, lets use government taxpayer money to pay them to burn food. It's a real thing, fucking democrats.
I ate macaroni and tomatoes all the time at my grandpa’s
Looks delicious, interesting to see how much it costs to cook now I might have to give it a go
On a group I belong to people were saying that eating macaroni and stewed tomatoes as a kid gave them PTSD! Both my parents lived through the depession, both lost a parent, so it was rough. I loved the foods they made for us, to me it was comfort food.
My grandmother would tell stories about the great depression and the dust bowl in the Midwest. Crazy what they went through.
My. Other used to make something like this when I was growing up. It was elbow macaroni, ground beef, and tomatoes sauce. Sometimes she’d throw in a couple potatoes. I think a collaboration between you and Max Miller over at Tasting History would be awesome. A cowboy and a city slicker out on the ranch cooking on Old Bertha making historical recipes sounds like fun.
It's the Shanty Town Shuffle at the end that made the whole thing! This man can cut a rug
My mom grew up during the depression and then the dust bowl. Sadly the dust bowl doesn't get the recognition it should. Asa kid we had this often. Sometimes with hot dogs & sometimes now. Usually if there were any veggies my mom had on hand she tossed those in also.
In the depression my mother and her then husband still had jobs so two other couples who were related moved into the house. For extra income the stay at home ladies made chocolate cakes to sell on the weekends. The men had a jig saw and used pictures from magazines pasted on plywood and cut out pieces to make puzzels to sell. They did all right. Resourceful, strong willed souls.
Oh thats today. Because biden congress and senate dont want to talk about food. The democrats and republicans have a god lovingly war going on to see who can split the country first. Listen to this man .
Im glad you said it,, goulash
I just love you both so much.
Sir Kent, I appreciate videos like this because America is going through another depression, whether you acknowledge. I was introduced to you via Uncle Roger. Your fried rice wasn't the best, but my method was to bow to Joshua Weissman. I've been job hunting since my company closed last year. Meals like this have stretched what ingredients I have to a surviving point. Easily my favorite is somewhere between dirty rice and red beans and rice. I use chilled rice (day old or forcibly chilled), 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can kidney beans, and let them roll for a good long while. As my spice pantry is quite extensive, I add chille powder, cayanne, MSG, garlic and onion powders, and various other seasonings as it stews. I do like it spicy, as my roommate is from Louisiana and cant cook! I own cookbooks dating back over 100 years, so let's make this new era a little less weird to make up for what we have!
As a kid in the 70s in Ontario, Canada, I grew up with a variation made with ground beef and no beans. We called it goulash. My parents were kids in the depression and went through war rationing, so that's what they grew up with.
And Ken if you were to ask them they would say they came from a hardy blood line … gonna make me a pot full soon
i make something similar called Hot dog soup
And that’s what the Republicans did for people Hoover was a Republican and that’s why the Democrats took over after that the Republicans have driven the country in the bankruptcy
Nowadays we have Top Ramen . Not as creative.
mouthwatering!!!
God bless the greatest generation, both my parents grew up during those times. And God bless you and yours.
Macaroni and Tomatoes was a regular meal when I was little. That Rabbitt would have ended up in the pot.
Thank you so very much for all that you do. These times I fear may be upon us again. Prices keep going up on it seems everything. We have to make the most of what we have. These videos sure have helped. Thank you again and all the best to you and yours. May God Bless.
Another depression food is southern specifically is rice and beans. That is a perfect protein meal at every economical price. Thanks for the lesson on how good we do have it. Prays for Texans.
