The people of the depression era’s were such strong n resilient people. I admire them so much. 💜

I'm 59 and grew up in the 70's and 80's here in Oklahoma but my parents, grandparents and other kinfolk had foods like this and they had gardens filled with vegetables for meals as well as fruit trees a lot of different meals especially during the depression era here in Oklahoma at the time another great look at great delicious meals from the past and as always thanks for the delicious memories.😋🥗🥘🍛🥗😋

My dad spent 20 years in the Marine Corps, and they used to serve him SOS every weekend in the mess hall. he makes it at least twice a month in his retirement years. As a result, it's something I grew up eating. 😅
-
Mom said she had almost only potatoes cooked with whatever was available. Dad said he had crackers crumbled into coffee with milk for breakfast.
-
Almost every dish portrayed appeared on my paternal grandparents' table. Even though granddad had a good job, they took in several relatives who would have otherwise been homeless. Families taking care of other relatives was fairly common back then. Dad said that as many as six relatives boarded with my grandparents at any one time, so grandma had to be thrifty with the food budget.
-
It really depended upon where someone lived. My mom was from the East Coast, and when she moved to the West Coast, was surprised at my dad's family who were in California's Bay Area, and worked crabbing and as gleaners for packing houses, so lots of canning done.

Oh my 😊 such beautiful Channel and delicious food.... America 🇺🇸.... Greetings from Africa 🌍 Cairo Egypt River Nile ☪️❤️.... God Bless You 🙌 🙏
-
Today I live on frozen baked French fries and bean soup. It's something I can afford and like. When I want a change, I eat pasta with chili beans and cheese. Canned fruit and veggies about 3 times a week.
-
Grilled Cheese sandwich was a depression sandwich. ❤
-
In case anyone is wondering why chipped beef was called S.O.S, it stands for Shht on a Shingle, the toast being the shingle. The beef slop was the 💩, obviously.
-
Spaghetti "O"s in aspic, served cold with frankfurters and spinach? what a delightful treat ;)
-
Iam 65 and i use to eat Pent Butter with moy
-
Peanut butter, Mayo, and banana's! We ate it all the time growing up in the 60s and 70s! It was quite good... although it sounds kinda gross now. 😂
-
Eaten these foods in my life. Although peanut butter mayo was not one. Just can't bring myself to see me eating it. It sounds so wrong.
-
I am from Rochester, the garbage plate here is ubiquitous. Love it!
-
Depression era stew reminds me of Stone Soup.
-
I really want to try the Ritz mock apple pie.
-
Mac and cheese with hamburger, bacon, ham, sausage and English peas and corn. And you can't forget the Creole seasoning. Yummy!!
-
