Weird Foods People Ate to Get Through the Great Depression
The way things are going with the shortages, we will be lucky to be able to eat weird food.



Let’s bust one Great Depression myth right off the bat, courtesy of Megan McArdle: “even at the height of the Depression, when a quarter of the workforce was unemployed, most people were not on relief, and most were not suffering malnutrition.” Even if it wasn’t all hobos sharing beans on a garbage can lid, the American diet during the Great Depression did change dramatically, thanks to the rise of the refrigerator, and, of course, the prioritization of thrift.

May favorite is baked potato (with the skin removed) cubed and finished in bacon grease. (Cook bacon and cut it up into 1inch pieces) lastly open and heat up then strain green beans. Add all 3 items together and garnish with ketchup.

Sack of potatoes cans of green beans and bacon…. It’s the best!

I will eat Jello, but not Jello with fruit in it. Just Jello and Coo Hwip is good enough for me.

But... but... garnish with ketchup? Sounds really good up to that point, lol.
More deplorable all the time.
