Don't put the tomato sauce in the poor mans meal. Yucky. It is very good without it. I did try it both ways.
So sorry you didn't like it. Glad that it turned out okay without the tomato sauce.....I'll keep that one in mind when I make it. But we like tomato sauce with macironi, so we might like it okay.

i watched this videos a few days ago. my grandfather said he ate the same things mostly. this is where the videos are from. YouTube - DepressionCooking's Channel[/url]
I love watching those depression cooking videos! The stories she tells are really interesting and the recipes are always quick and look pretty good.
She reminds me of an old friend of my family (practically a second grandmother of mine) who raised a large family during the Depression and also told great stories!
Okay this is just a silly little thing my dad and his family ate on the way to school during the depression. Homemade biscuit, hot, stick finger in the middle to make a hole and put butter with either sorghum, honey, syrup. Any thing they had at the time. If they made it to town without eating them, all the kids in town wanted their homemade things, while they longed for what they had...like store bought bread. Funny how you always want what the other person has.
Ate lots of cornbread and way to much chicken. To this day he will hardly ever eat chicken.
It's funny how depending on where you were how bad it was! My Mom grew up in Jasper Co. MO and while they grew up in the depression and were very poor, they had patched clothes and something to eat each day. My Father how ever was living in Oklahoma as a share cropper family that also got hit with the dust bowl. They end up roaming and had nothing at all for several years. They lived on what they could get, rabbit, squirrel, possum, and coon. My Dad said it was mostly possum and they all hated the greased foul nasty rat of a thing. They gathered weeds and grasses to mix into a pot with whatever meat they could find. If they were lucky they were able to eat once a day but sometimes they couldn't come up with water, weeds or anything and they all kept roaming and hoped they'd survive and find what they needed. Both families had 12 children. Living off the land has always been a passion for me. Where I am at in extreme NW MO is a good place to survive if it ever came to that. I've taught my kids how to survive on nothing which has helped some of them get through college on air! Your Dad might not of cared for chicken after his ordeal but at least he had stuff that was decent to eat at the time! My Dad hated possum so much I don't think me or my kids could ever eat one after all he told us!
